Ink Cartridge Deal Returns

richlevy · 02-18-2009, 07:39 PM

I was in Staples picking up my 1TB drive and I noticed that the old 'used cartridge' deal is back. A few years ago, Staples offered $3 credit for any used ink cartridges. Then they decided to limit it to only name brands that they sell.

Well, they're back to accepting any used ink cartridge, limited to 10 per month. Fortunately, I have been procrastinating and have built up a backlog of empty ink cartridges. The suckers only cost me about $4 each new.

For all of you conscientious types who have been dropping your used cartridges in recycling bins for free.......suckers.

They told me the same thing when I was there buying the cable for my wireless. I need new ink cartridges, so it's not a bad deal. Just have to pull out the really old ones, take them in, and get a discount.

I can work with that.
