Kyocera printers have a reputation for lasting a long time, which is good news if you're holding surplus toner — the installed base doesn't retire quickly, so demand for cartridges stays steady for years.
Kyocera Cartridges We Buy
Kyocera part numbers almost all start TK- followed by a number. The higher the number, generally the newer the machine.
| Part number | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TK-1172 / TK-1152 | Mono toner | Common in workgroup mono printers |
| TK-3172 / TK-3162 | Mono toner | High yield, strong demand |
| TK-5232 colour set | Colour set | Full CMYK sets preferred |
| TK-5142 / TK-5152 | Colour set | Common in mid-range colour units |
| TK-8517 / TK-8519 | Colour set | Larger MFP models |

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

A sealed Kyocera 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. Kyocera machines tend to stay in service far longer than average, which keeps demand for their cartridges steadier than most brands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Better than most. Kyocera machines stay in service a long time, so demand for their cartridges doesn't drop off as quickly.
It's Kyocera's toner kit part number. It identifies which machines the cartridge fits, and it's printed on both the box and the cartridge.
