Ever thought about putting your refilling talent to work for you? Im not talking about starting an inkjet refilling business, however, theres nothing stopping you from doing that. What I mean is if you enjoy refilling inkjet cartridges there are ways that you might sell them and generate some funds without a whole lot of effort.

Many all the people think that a refilling business is the type that people bring you their cartridges, you refill them, and they pay you and leave. Thats the hard way to do it. A much easier way is to obtain empty cartridges, refill them and sell them. The trick is where to get the empties so you dont go broke in the process. Another thing to realize is you only want to refill cartridges that have print heads on them. Most HP and Lexmark cartridges fall into that category. Most Canons and all Epsons will not .

The easiest place to sell your cartridges is on eBay. You may also sell them to your friends, neighbors and work associates. If you sell them on eBay you could include in your advertisement that you buy empties. Offer $1.00 per empty and stipulate that they must be virgin cartridges, never before refilled. Another place to get your empties is empties.com. You may also build up some fliers and pass them out to local business offering to buy their empty cartridges. So many companies throw them away and would gladly sell them to you cheap.

You do not absolutely need a lot of expensive tools to get started. A couple refill kits will pay for themselves rather quickly. If you specialize in a few types of cartridges you wont have to buy a lot of supplies. Popular cartridges like HP C6578 and HP 51645A, HP 6656, HP 6657, Lexmark 12A1970 and 12A1980, 10N0016 and 10N0026.

You will also absolutely need boxes and cartridge clips or just make use of print head sealing tape. These are pretty cheap and you might find them on the internet.

If you have a printer that fits a popular cartridge you may make use of it to test your cartridges before selling them. You may buy printers on eBay for pennies on the dollar for testing machines. Do not fail to remember the other auctions like Yahoo, Ubid and Amazon for buying printers. Actually you might get a better deal buying a printer on the smaller auctions.

Price your cartridges about 25% below retail or make use of the prices from our web page . Theres plenty of business to go around so what are you standing around for?
