The best place to sell diabetic supplies is the buyer who shows you the price before you ship, is accountable to a third party, and pays the day your box arrives. Here are the four things to verify — and how we stack up on each.
1. A published payout list
If a buyer won’t print a price, you can’t compare them with anyone. Ours is public — every product, count, and condition tier is in the payout calculator. Current top payouts on popular items:
| Product | Box | Top payout |
|---|---|---|
| Dexcom G6 Sensors | 3-count box | up to $160 |
| Dexcom G7 · 15-Day | 1-count box | up to $65 |
| FreeStyle Libre 3 | Sensor | up to $40 |
| Omnipod 5 Pods | 5-count box | up to $55 |
| Accu-Chek Compact Plus | 100ct (Retail) | up to $70 |
| Accu-Chek Aviva Plus | 100ct (Retail) | up to $30 |
| FreeStyle Lite | 100ct (Retail) | up to $25 |

2. Accountability you can check
Cash for Diabetics has been buying diabetic supplies since 2011 and holds a BBB A+ accreditation — look us up on the BBB directory and on Trustpilot rather than taking our word for it. Any buyer you consider should survive the same check.
3. Free, trackable shipping
You should never pay to ship. We send a free postage-paid kit, or — faster — email you a QR code so you can drop your own box at a UPS or USPS location with no printer and no label, which also adds a $10 bonus to your payout.
4. Same-day payment, in a form you actually use
We inspect your shipment the day it arrives and send payment the same day — Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or a mailed check. Be wary of buyers who pay by store credit, gift card, or “within 30 days.”
What about selling locally?
Searching for a buyer “near me” usually ends at a pawn shop that doesn’t take supplies or a classifieds listing with no protection. A national buyer can pay more because the market is bigger, and with QR drop-off the “online” option is a same-day errand — no printer, no waiting for a kit.
Quick answers
How do I know a diabetic-supply buyer is legitimate?
Check four things: a published payout list (not “contact us for pricing”), an accreditation you can verify (BBB profile with rating and history), reviews on an independent platform like Trustpilot, and a payment method that isn’t a gift card. A legitimate buyer also pays your shipping.
Do pawn shops or local buyers pay more for test strips?
Rarely. Most pawn shops don’t take diabetic supplies at all, and those that do typically pay a fraction of online buyback rates because they have to resell locally. An online buyer with a national market can pay more and publish the price up front.
What’s the safest way to compare offers between buyers?
Compare the printed price for your exact product, count, and expiration window — not the headline number. A “up to” price only applies to sealed boxes with long dating, so make sure you’re comparing the same tier.
