There are several great advantages to buying "open box" printer cartridges on eBay.
By "open box", I mean that the outer packaging of the cartridge has been opened or is missing, but the inner foil package that the cartridge comes in is still sealed. These cartridges are just as good as any other brand new cartridge, they just don't come with the pretty little box that the come in in the retail store.
The greatest benefit of buying open box printer cartridges is price. Most of the time, a brand name "open box" ink cartridge can be bought on eBay for half the price of the identical cartridge that comes with the box. Printer cartridges cost quite a bit of money these days, and if you want to get a good deal on a brand new ink cartridge for your printer, look for the ones that are "open box". They are just as good and cost half as much.
Happy bidding!
