    Default Anyone sold empty ink cartridges on EBAY?

    I was just looking at eBay and saw that people actually buy empty used ink cartridges. I have quite a few here. Not sure why I haven't thrown them away. What would people use these for?

    I think I may try and put mine on there. Start the whole group at 99 cents and see what I get.

    I'm not sure what others use them for, but here our schools collect them and turn them in for cash for school.

    Never heard of/ thought of that. I keep mine to turn into $3 off at Staples.

    Yeah, refill them untill they can't be refilled no more, then take them to office Depot for free paper. What are they selling for on eBay? (and why?)

    We send them into DS #1's school. The school gets $3 each for them! This past week, between DH's work and our friends, we sent in 27 empty cartridges!
