Selling cartridges - questions

hi
I know weve been here before, but Ive done a search & cant find anything.

Where can I selll cartridges? We have 4x lexmark empties and 3x HP empties

Happy to recycle for charity as weve always done, but Im very skint at the mo, and woudnt mind a pound or 2 :money:

Can we have this possibly made a sticky? Im sure this chat comes up time & again.

Cheers
Lynz

    Coz peeps like to purchase empties so they can refill themselves. Methinks some of the buyers are companies who pay around £3 per HP cartridge on eBay, refill and then sell them on @ £9 or so, ie quite a healthy profit!

    I don't know about Lexmark, only HP as these are the ones I use.

    There are also some online companies who you could use - again, I have only looked with regard to HP - e.g.
