Sell Diabetes Supplies for Cash in Salt Lake City, Utah

If you want to sell diabetes supplies for cash, here's the short answer: text us photos of what you have and we'll send back a real number within 30 minutes. We buy sealed, non-expired test strips, CGM sensors (Dexcom, FreeStyle Libre), and insulin pump supplies (Omnipod, Medtronic) from sellers across the Wasatch Front. A typical meetup takes about five minutes.

Which diabetes supplies have cash value

Not every supply in a diabetes cabinet is worth cash, but a surprising amount is. The common thread across every category: sealed original retail packaging, no pharmacy label, factory seal intact. Here's what each category pays.

Diabetic test strips

Test strips are the most common supply we buy. Top payouts for sealed 100-count boxes: Accu-Chek Aviva Plus up to $40, FreeStyle Lite up to $25, Contour Next up to $20, OneTouch Verio up to $10, Accu-Chek Guide up to $7. If you have a drawer full of mixed brands, the full price guide has the complete per-brand breakdown with expiration notes.

CGM sensors and readers

CGM supplies pay more per box than most test strips. For Dexcom, we buy G6 sensor 3-packs (up to $150), G6 transmitter kits (up to $80), G7 (15-day) sensors (up to $60 each), and G7 (10-day) sensors (up to $40 each). For FreeStyle Libre, we buy Libre 2, Libre 3, and Libre 14-day sensors at up to $30 each, plus the readers at up to $30. The Dexcom seller's guide and the FreeStyle Libre seller's guide go deeper on each brand.

Insulin pump supplies

Pump supplies carry the highest individual payouts we offer. Medtronic insulin pumps pay up to $500. Omnipod 5 pods pay up to $150 each, and a full Omnipod 5 Starter Kit pays up to $300. If you switched pump systems and have sealed supplies from the old one sitting in a cabinet, those numbers add up fast.

The condition checklist applies to every category

We run the same four-point check before making an offer on anything, whether it's a $7 test strip box or a $500 insulin pump:

  1. Factory seal intact. An opened box is a hard no. Downstream buyers require it.
  2. Original retail packaging, no pharmacy label. A paper label glued over the brand name disqualifies any box.
  3. Expiration date far enough out. Inside the last 3 months may get a low or no offer. Six months or more is the comfortable range. Twelve or more months is where top prices apply.
  4. Brand we actively buy. Generic store-brand strips (ReliOn, Walmart Equate) and some older CGM models aren't in active downstream demand. When in doubt, text us a photo and we'll tell you in under 30 minutes.
Three things we can't take: opened boxes, supplies past the expiration date, and pharmacy-labeled boxes (the label glued over the brand). Those aren't policy choices — they're downstream requirements. If any of your supplies fall into those categories, a couple of local nonprofits accept them for redistribution to uninsured diabetics. Ask us and we'll send you their contact information.

What a larger stockpile actually adds up to

Most people underestimate how fast value accumulates. A woman in Sandy had been managing her diabetes carefully for years — she eats clean and rarely burns through her monthly allotment. Boxes piled up. She can't drive, so we went to her place. She had over $2,700 in unused supplies in a closet. We bought everything and paid cash the same day. What she'd thought of as clutter sitting in a cabinet became real money.

That one was unusually large, but the pattern behind it is common. If your prescription ships more than you use each month, the value accumulates faster than most people track. The guide on extra test strips and the CGM supplies overview both cover the practical options when supplies pile up.

Why local beats mail-in when supplies are high value

Mail-in buyback works fine for some sellers. For someone in a rural area with no local buyer nearby, shipping is often the only real option. For someone on the Wasatch Front who can drive 12 minutes to a Starbucks, mail-in usually means a longer wait and a real chance the price you were quoted isn't the price you actually receive.

The national mail-in timeline runs 1 to 3 weeks after the package arrives. Local is same-day cash. The more significant gap is the re-grade question. On a $15 test strip box, a downward adjustment after they inspect hurts but isn't catastrophic. On a Medtronic pump at up to $500, or a batch of Dexcom G6 3-packs at up to $150 each, the gap between quoted and received matters a great deal more. With a local meetup, we inspect everything in front of you and pay the price we quoted. No adjustments after you've left. The full mail-in vs. local comparison goes deeper on this if you're weighing that call.

How to get a cash quote for your supplies

The process is the same whether you have one box of test strips or a closet full of mixed supplies:

  1. Text us photos. One of the front of each box, one of the lot number, one of the expiration date. A pile shot is fine if you have a lot — we'll follow up on anything we need.
  2. We send back a real number in under 30 minutes (Mon–Sat 10am–7pm, Sun 12–3pm MT). That's the price we'll pay — not an estimate that gets adjusted after inspection.
  3. We agree on a meetup spot near you. Usually a Starbucks or a Smith's parking lot. For larger stockpiles or sellers who can't drive, we come to you.
  4. You bring the boxes, we check them in front of you, and you get cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App on the spot. The meetup runs about five minutes.

The most common thing first-time sellers say when the meetup is done: "Wait, that's it?" The process really is that quick. No shipping, no waiting, no wondering if the payment will come. When you're ready to find out what your supplies are worth, text us a few photos and we'll get you a real number. No runaround.

For context on the supply landscape: the American Diabetes Association's CGM resource page covers how continuous glucose monitors work for sellers still learning their supplies. The FDA's blood glucose monitoring page has the regulatory framework around test strip devices. The CDC's diabetes resource center covers the full picture of managing life with diabetes.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of diabetes supplies can I sell for cash?

Sealed, non-expired test strips, CGM sensors (Dexcom G6, G7, FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3), insulin pump pods (Omnipod 5), and Medtronic insulin pumps all have active resale value. The supplies need to be in original retail packaging with no pharmacy label and a factory seal that's still intact.

How much can I get for unused diabetes supplies?

It depends on what you have. Test strips range from $7 to $40 per box depending on brand. CGM sensors range from $30 to $150 per box. Omnipod 5 pods pay up to $150 each, and Medtronic insulin pumps pay up to $500. The full price guide at /full-price-guide/ has a complete breakdown by brand and item.

Can I sell a mix of test strips, CGM sensors, and pump supplies all at once?

Yes. We buy all three categories and price each item separately. Text us a photo of everything you have and we'll send you one combined quote. You don't need to sort anything beforehand.

Do I need to explain where my supplies came from?

No. We don't ask for documentation or want to know the source. The only things that matter are the condition of the packaging, the factory seal, and the expiration date.

What if my supplies have a pharmacy label on the box?

A pharmacy label glued over the brand name disqualifies the box. Downstream buyers require the original retail packaging to be intact. If your boxes have pharmacy labels, some local nonprofits accept them for redistribution to uninsured diabetics. Ask us and we'll send you their contact information.

How fast will I get paid?

Same day. We respond to photos within 30 minutes during business hours (Mon–Sat 10am–7pm, Sun 12–3pm MT), agree on a meetup near you, and pay on the spot in cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App. Most meetups finish in about five minutes.

Do you come to sellers, or do I have to drive to a meetup spot?

Both options work. For most sellers we meet at a convenient public spot — a Starbucks or a Smith's parking lot. For larger stockpiles or sellers who can't drive, we come to you. Let us know your situation when you text and we'll work out the logistics.
