wise to buy printer ink of ebay?

[LordSnailz]

hrmm, haven't bough ink for the longest time, is it wise to buy ink off ebay or is there a more reputable online place I can buy it from?

Places like office depot are charging about $7/cartridge and ebay is about $7 for 5 cartridges but I'm not sure how long they'll last and whether they're any good or not.

For ex, is this place okay?

7 cartridges for 5 bucks sounds too good to be true.

I would just spend a little more with 123inkjets.com

or just get real authentic manufacturer's carts on ebay, i know HP carts go for roughly 40% less than retail for the real item (not refills or remanufactured carts).

I just bought 5 cartridges (3 colors plus 2 high-capacity blacks) for only 26.00 delivered from inkjetstar.com and they work great. I occasionally get a message from my printer that the cartridges are not Epson carts, but I just click through it and everything works great. I can't believe those carts retail for 33.19 each. what a joke.

With the shipping it is about $15 on eBay, I think they should work.

inkjetmadness.com or inkgrabber.com great prices

Bought a set of 3 each "56" and "57" refills for my HP printer from a random person off of ebay and they have worked flawlessly. I know the feedback system can be rigged, but pay attention to that and you should be able to make a cheap purchase.

I always buy the refill kits for those Canon cartridges.
Works very well, I've never had any problems with any of the different kits I've bought either.
Easy to do, just turn them upside down and put in 50-100 drops!

I always email the people specifically asking if they are refilled, remanufactured, etc or if they are original, brand name cartridges the same I get when I go to the store. That way if I get it and it's not what they said, I have the proof to dispute it.

I don't like surprises.

I bought a generic toner cartride, on Ebay, for my HP printer and have had no problems what so ever.

 

[LordSnailz]

The ebay auctions mentions generic ink which is the same as some of the online places. Just afraid that I'm getting refilled or remanufactured but I guess since I'm only getting the black, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

i bought laser toner on amazon, couldnt be happier. saved 66% too! aftermarket rocks

 

[lokiju]

I did before and had no issues.

I just made sure the seller had crazy good amount of sales and ratings.

 

[LS20]

tylermartin.com has the highest quality one

 

[wiredspider]

I just buy from those that have tons of feedback/ratings, has worked well for my epson/canon printers and I've probably saved hundreds over the years.

they might damage the printer?

verify with the seller that they are not refilled, remanufactured, and what the package date is. Some people sell expired ink.
