The Notion to Blog

As I consider it my duty to report rip-ffos to the public, I have to once again highlight another excessive rip-off from Incredible Connection.

You may say that I should simply refrain from walking into the Incredible Connection store. I actually like the store because and have found them to be the cheapest on 3 occassions:  Canon SLR,  Wii and Asus EEEPC.

This week I discoverd that they charge as much as 70% more than Take2 on their HP Printer Cartrideges. In my case its the No 135 color cartdrige for my HP OfficeJet

Incredible Connection: R399
Take2: R233
Ink Cartridge Recycling Shop in Plumstead: R190

This brings me to my next point. Is it worth bying recycled cartdidges?  My answer is Yes  and No depending on your motive.   “Yes” , if you care more about the earth than the colors that come out of your cartdrige.  “No” if you think that saving R40 is not worth the bad quality ink and hassle of blocked nozzles.

I took my cartdrige back for twice in one week for a recycled replacement. Both cases i got a catridge that failed to print one of the colors.

By all means, send your empty cartrdiges for recycling, but don’t bank on getting a working recycled cartridge back.
