Dell exited the printer business, which means every Dell cartridge still in a cupboard is stock that will never be replaced. The printers are still out there, and the people running them are increasingly reliant on surplus.
Dell Cartridges We Buy
Dell part numbers are not the friendliest — many are just long digit strings. If you can read anything off the box, we can usually identify it.
| Part number | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 593-BBBU / 593-BBKD | Mono toner | Common in Dell business mono printers |
| C2660 / C2665 series | Colour set | Full CMYK sets preferred |
| 331-9805 / 331-9807 | Mono toner | High yield versions worth more |
| E525W colour set | Colour set | Popular small-office model |
| 1130 / 1135 series | Mono toner | Older but still in service |

Have Dell cartridges to sell?
Send the part numbers, or just photos of the boxes. We'll price them and email you an offer.

A sealed Dell cartridge and an opened one of the same part number are worth very different amounts. We buy in three conditions:
- Factory sealed — shrink wrap intact, hologram present, box undamaged. This is where the money is.
- Sealed with box wear — still sealed, but dented, scuffed, dusty, or with a store label on it. Still very sellable.
- Open box, unused — the box was opened but the cartridge was never installed and the foil seal is untouched.
What we can't buy: anything installed in a printer, refilled, remanufactured, or third-party compatible. If a cartridge has printed a single page, it has no resale value to us.
How Selling Works
- Submit a quote — type in what you have, send photos and we'll identify them, or upload an inventory list.
- We price it by hand and email you an offer, usually within 48 hours.
- Accept, and we email a prepaid shipping label. You pay nothing to ship.
- Payment goes out within 24 hours of the carrier scanning your package — not after we receive it. Zelle, Venmo, PayPal or a check.
Why Not eBay or a Local Store?
You can usually squeeze more out of a single cartridge on eBay, if you're willing to photograph it, write a listing, answer questions, pay roughly 13% in fees, and handle returns. For one high-value cartridge, that can be worth it.
For a box of eight, or a closet left over from an office move, it stops making sense fast. We price the whole lot at once, cover shipping, and pay on scan. Because Dell no longer produces these, sealed stock is worth more to the remaining owners than it would be for a brand still in production.
Frequently Asked Questions
