How to Sell a Used Epson L1800 DTF Printer with Extra Ink: Tips and Online Group Links

Question:

I barely use the Epson L1800 DTF printer from Procolored, and I have a lot of extra ink. I'm located in British Columbia, Canada, and open to offers. I'm currently troubleshooting a few possible issues, but to be honest, maintaining and repairing the printer is more than I’m willing to handle. Is anyone interested, or can you suggest the best way to sell this printer? I love your videos and humor and would appreciate any help selling this unit.

Answer:

Suggested Platforms for Selling Your DTF Printer:

Here are a few reputable platforms where users have successfully sold used printers and supplies, particularly DTF units:

• Facebook Marketplace – A great starting point for local buyers, especially since you're based in British Columbia. You'll likely find people in nearby cities looking for equipment.

• eBay —f you’re open to shipping, eBay allows for broader exposure, including to U.S. buyers. Be sure to describe the condition, any issues, and wanyextras you’re including.

• Mercari – While more popular in the U.S., it’s worth checking if they support listings in Canada. It works well for electronics and niche items.

In your listing, be as clear as possible about:

Being upfront about what might need fixing will help build trust and set the right expectations with potential buyers.

Selling or repairing a printer—especially a DTF model—often requires hands-on testing, so we cannot offer remote troubleshooting or appraisals.

We work on a first-come, first-served basis, and due to high demand, it might take a few weeks to schedule a drop-off.
