How Surplus Toner Buyers Assess and Price Your Toner

For many businesses and individuals, surplus toner can accumulate over time, taking up valuable space and tying up resources. If you're considering selling this excess inventory to a surplus toner buyer, you might be wondering how much you can get for it and what factors influence the price. Understanding the assessment and pricing process can help you make informed decisions and ensure you get the best value for surplus toner.

At Trade Your Toner, we specialise in buying surplus toner, and we understand how critical it is for you to know how your stock is evaluated. In this blog, we'll walk you through the key factors that surplus toner buyers consider when assessing and pricing your toner inventory. By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of how we determine a fair and competitive price for your surplus toner, allowing you to make the most of your unused supplies.

Original Box

One of the factors that determines how much money you will receive for surplus toner is whether you have the original box or not. If you do have the original box, this will give you the highest price as it will be able to be resold at a higher price point. However, if you do not have the original box, do not worry as many companies will still purchase your toner just at a slightly reduced price. We buy toner whether it has the original box or not. We strive to provide a fair offer in both cases, but if you do have the original packaging, we can offer you a higher price.

Sealed and Opened Boxes

Whether the toner cartridge box has been opened or remains sealed also plays a crucial role in determining its value. A sealed box is considered to be in mint condition, ensuring that the toner is untouched, unused and from the genuine manufacturer, which leads to the highest possible offer. Whereas if the box has been opened, the toner’s value typically decreases, though most buyers are still willing to purchase it. We buy toner in both sealed and opened boxes. If your toner box is sealed, we can offer you more money; if the box is opened, the offer might be slightly lower, but we’re still very much interested in purchasing it.

Item Condition and Tags

The actual condition of the toner cartridge itself is also a major factor in the pricing process. If the cartridge itself has been opened or any tags have been removed from it, this lowers its value. If you have surplus toner you’re looking to sell, and it’s out of the box, ensure to not remove anything further from it as this will count as it being used. We only purchase toner cartridges that are unused and in their original, untampered condition. This policy ensures that the products we buy and resell maintain their quality, making them more desirable for future use.

Manufacturer

The manufacturer of the toner can also affect the price you’ll receive. Toner cartridges from well-known, reputable brands often fetch higher prices because they are in greater demand and are known for their reliability. Buyers are typically willing to pay more for toners from top brands like HP, Canon, or Brother. Conversely, toner from lesser-known brands may result in a lower offer, as they might be harder to resell or less trusted in terms of quality. At Trade Your Toner, we buy toner from all manufacturers and brands. Whether it’s a leading brand or a lesser-known one, we’re interested in making you an offer.

Genuine Toner

Most companies that buy surplus toner are only interested in purchasing genuine toner. Genuine toner is toner that is made by the original manufacturer, such as HP, Canon, or Brother. Non-genuine or counterfeit toner can cause issues with printers and is generally of lower quality, which is why buyers prefer to stick to authentic products. We only buy 100% genuine toner. By dealing exclusively in original, manufacturer-made products, we ensure that you receive the best possible quality and reliability.
