Bangalore’s huge base of home offices, startups and students means there’s always demand for a used printer. Whether your old HP LaserJet or Canon ink-tank is gathering dust in Koramangala or sitting idle in a Whitefield flat, you can turn it into quick cash if you know where to list it. Here’s exactly how to sell an old printer in Bangalore for the best price.

How much can you get for an old printer in Bangalore?

Working laser / ink-tank (2–5 years): ₹1,000–₹3,500

Working older inkjet (5+ years): ₹400–₹1,000

Dead / for parts: ₹150–₹500

In Bangalore, monochrome laser printers and ink-tank models (Epson EcoTank, Canon PIXMA G-series) sell fastest because small offices and students want low running costs. A unit with a fresh cartridge or full ink tanks and WiFi can fetch the top of the range.

Best ways to sell old printer in Bangalore

1. OLX — best for maximum price

OLX is your best bet for the highest price in Bangalore. List under Electronics & Appliances, clearly state the type — laser, inkjet, ink-tank or all-in-one (print/scan/copy) — and the brand. Buyers in areas like Koramangala, Indiranagar, HSR Layout, Whitefield and Electronic City respond fast to well-priced working units. Add clear photos and your locality so nearby buyers can pick up the same day.

2. Quikr & local groups

Quikr still moves used printers, but apartment-society WhatsApp groups and Bangalore startup/freelancer Telegram channels are even better. Small offices, students near Christ University and PG residents regularly buy budget printers. Post in your tech-park or society group with a test-print photo and a fair price.

3. Computer dealers & cartridge refill shops

Head to SP Road — Bangalore’s biggest computer hardware market — where second-hand dealers and cartridge refill shops buy working printers or take dead ones for parts. Shops around SP Road and Indiranagar’s electronics lanes will give an on-the-spot quote. Expect slightly less than OLX, but it’s instant cash with no waiting.

4. Exchange or e-waste

For a truly dead printer, use a registered e-waste recycler — Bangalore has several authorised collectors (e.g. around Peenya and the city’s e-waste drives). You’ll get a small amount and a safe disposal certificate. Alternatively, Amazon and Flipkart sometimes run exchange offers that knock money off a new printer.

Tips for selling in Bangalore

Include a working cartridge or full ink: a printer with a usable cartridge or filled ink tanks commands ₹300–₹500 more.
State the type and connectivity: mention laser vs inkjet and whether it’s USB-only or WiFi — Bangalore buyers value wireless printing.
Run a test print before meeting: a fresh sample page proves it works and closes the deal faster.
Target small offices and students: price for budget buyers near tech parks, PGs and colleges to sell within days.
