Where to sell your old printer

Nowadays, virtually any device, due to the constant introduction of new technologies into production, becomes outdated quite quickly, but if the buyer does not pursue new products, then the equipment simply exhausts its resource and is sent to a landfill. Printers in this case are far from an exception, and when a printing device finally breaks down, wearing out its resource, or simply becomes obsolete, its owner has a completely reasonable question about what to do with the old, bulky device.

Where can you sell your old printer for money?

In general, there are only three profitable ways to sell your old printing device:

• Sell ​​on parts
• Use the services of a buying company
• Exchange with additional payment

Each method should be considered in a little more detail.

Exchange. In cases where there has been a large purchase of equipment, the store, if it has the appropriate documents for outdated equipment, can satisfy the client’s request to replace a batch of old devices with new ones with a small additional payment from the buyer. Unfortunately, in our country not all office equipment sellers offer such services to their clients. In any case, no one forbids trying to find out from the seller whether it is possible to exchange old equipment for new one with an additional payment.

Attention! You can try to independently find several printer repair shops in the city, and try to hand over the device to their specialists for a certain fee, however, there is no guarantee that the technicians there will show interest in buying a used device.

The amount that the client can receive in this case greatly depends on the current condition of the printer and the prevalence of such models.

Where can I sell my old printer?

Disassembly and sale for spare parts. The fact is that even if the device is completely broken, a huge number of serviceable and fully working parts most often remain in its case, which may be needed by certain people. Many users post advertisements for the sale of spare parts for a particular printer model on online forums or in thematic social network communities, and often buyers for these spare parts are found quite quickly. Spare parts are usually bought by people who do their own repairs.

Sale to a buying company. In addition to all of the above methods for selling an old printer, in many large cities of our country there are also buying companies that offer their services to anyone who wants to get rid of used equipment. The advantages of contacting such companies include:

• Saving time, since even transportation of equipment to the company can be carried out by its specialists.
• Solving the recycling problem, especially important for large companies.
• Saving money on repair work, since equipment is accepted in different conditions.
• Actual profit from the sale of obsolete devices.

Attention! Most companies that buy used printers try to provide their customers with favorable conditions, but most often the final price for selling equipment to such companies is no more than 50% of its initial cost, and only in cases where the condition of the equipment is close to ideal.

In addition to the printers themselves, you can sell many accessories for them. For example, even used cartridges for laser devices are very popular in the secondary market.
