Someone on craigslist had six sealed 350ml cartridges at $59/ea. They don't expire for between 12-14 months. Probably just someone shutting something an operation down, but I'm always weary of craigslist items. And, I know he could have gotten a lot more for them. Picked them up today, look legit, all sealed up, so they probably are fine.
I've never bought ink through a non-dealer before, and I know some products are known for having counterfeit knock offs out there, so wanted to check if 9900 inks were in that category at all. Call me paranoid I guess.
I know USB flash cards have gone through that. With ink being so expensive, there could be a lot of profit for an overseas company to put together refilled cartridges in fake Epson packaging, and I wouldn't want my prints to start fading early or anything.
