Business is a little more complicated than that. We don't refill : we
just collect. We have to pay people to sort them, repackage them, and
send them on : along with the overheads of renting space to do so, pay
taxes and all the rest.
Those we sell them to need to clean them, refill them ( a good machine
to do this is $ 250,000, and you need a different machine for each
basic type of cartridge ). The refillers also have overheads. And then
when it goes to the store, the store wants 30 % or more for stocking
the item.
No, we don't pay $ 2 and then get $ 15. Wish we did.
