I did manage to sell 4 empty Brother cartridges for 0.99, but it took ages, and was too much trouble for too little money.
I now take my empties to recycling point for charity.
Maybe I need to be switching to Epson.Early retired - 18th December 2014

There's a big market at the moment for remanufactured ink cartridges, and as a result, big demand for empty cartridges to remanufacture.
I've seen HP and Lexmark do quite well, as they charge such absurd amounts for official ink.0 -
Is this just ink? We use HP laser jet and go through too many to let me sleep easily! Should I be recycling them?0
