best place to buy inkjet refills

[bhome83]

does anyone know of a good place that has deals on inkjet refills for my printer? costco has them but they seem overpriced. they had 2 black refil cartridges for my epson stylus color 880 printer for $40. Then i go to pricewatch.com and lookup my printer and found a site that had black refils for $1.80! maybe im not reading it right but here is the site where i found the deal: http://www.store.yahoo.com/i-market/epstylcol880.html
doesn't this price seem incredibly low? they are the right model for my printer but $1.80 just doesn't seem right.

As long as they do not hose you on shipping, you might as well try it. I do know that you can get your refills here and they are reputable as I have ordered from them many times with very little problems.

When I had an Epson I use to order from the link below, and I still order from them for a Canon I have. Great service and I know they don't hose you on ship/hand.

I guess my question now is why is there such a big price difference between costco inkjet refills ($40/2 of them) and the one site i showed that had refills at $1.80 each. does that site sell different types of refills? is the quality not as good as others like costco? The model #'s are the same. just kind of hesitant to buy something that is marked down so much from other retail places. i will try it though and see what happens. as long as the quality of my prints are the same then im happy. that's all i am really worried about. thanks for the help.

The cartridges that are offered by the two internet sites are generic aftermarkets. They look the same last the same. What you are seeing is the fact that printer manufactures make ungodly profits off of inkjet cartridges.

so is it ok to buy these generic brands? i just want the performance to be the same compared to costco.
