Flogging toner from a dead printer?

[jim]

At work, we've had two laser printers die on us in quick succession, with a load of toner cartridges in there at the time - they were both HP 2550n laserjets.

So as a result, I've got a few bits spare from them -

Two bolt-on 500 page expansion trays, about £125 new
5 cartridges with 30-75% remaining ink in each, about £60 each new
1 imaging drum over 90% full, about £160 new

I've been given the all clear to sell them, so do you reckon it's worth the hassle?

I've looked on eBay, but it's either completely empty or completely full on there - no surprise I guess. So I've got no idea whether there's a genuine market for these types of things.

The printer must be quite old as well, which can't help.

Thoughts?

What's the cartridge reference??

Eh?

I take it you don't mean Q396XA?

You may be surprised.

We've still got an OKI C7200 laser from 2001 and it works perfectly with prints as good as any other laser we have. The problem is the toner costs a fortune now... (toner generally increases in price as the printer ages), to the point where it's starting to look more economical to buy a new printer.

Stick them on Ebay. It can't hurt, can it? Worst case is you only get a few quid+delivery, but it's better than shoving them in the bin.

Partly true, I just don't fancy lugging several huge boxes half a mile to the post office for the sake of £10
