Best places to sell diabetic supplies for cash — an honest comparison

Last reviewed: August 2026

The short answer: sell to a specialist buyback company with current independent reviews, published payment terms, and a free prepaid shipping label — DiabeticsExchangeUSA, StripsUSA, and ValueCGM lead the national mail-in field. In the Charlotte area, same-day local pickup skips shipping entirely and pays on the spot — and our free mail-in accepts supplies from anywhere in the US.

*Star summaries reflect publicly available review platforms as verified in August 2026 and can change — always check a buyer's current reviews before shipping. Disclosure: this comparison is published by Cash For Diabetic Supplies NC, a Charlotte-based buyer that competes with the companies listed. We summarize what each buyer publishes and what independent review platforms showed on the verification date; we recommend comparing several sources yourself.

What types of buyers exist?

There are three main categories of buyers for unused diabetic supplies:

• National mail-in buyers — You ship your supplies, they inspect and pay. Convenient if you're far from a local buyer, but requires trusting a stranger with your supplies before payment.
• Local pickup buyers — Someone comes to you, verifies supplies on the spot, and pays immediately. Available in select markets. Charlotte, NC is one of the best-served local markets in the Southeast.
• Peer-to-peer marketplaces — Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist. Higher per-unit prices are possible, but time-consuming, variable, and not always legal depending on how transactions are structured.

For most people, a national mail-in buyer or a local pickup buyer is the right choice. Here's how the major options compare.

The national mail-in buyers — honest assessment

DiabeticsExchangeUSA.com

Rating: ★★★★☆ — One of the more reliable national options. Transparent pricing page updated regularly, payment within one business day via Venmo/PayPal/Zelle/ACH/check, free prepaid shipping label or full shipping kit. BBB-listed. Thousands of positive reviews. They buy a wide range of supplies including test strips, CGMs, and insulin pump supplies. Weaknesses: no local pickup option, no blog or content resources for sellers.

StripsUSA.com

Rating: ★★★★☆ — Family-owned since 2016. Over 300 verified reviews. Accepts USPS and FedEx. Transparent pricing, 24-hour payment after receipt. Their site is busier and more complex than some alternatives, but the underlying service is solid. Buys Dexcom, OmniPod, FreeStyle Libre, test strips, and more.

ValueCGM.com

Rating: ★★★★☆ — CGM specialist. Only buys Dexcom, OmniPod, and FreeStyle Libre — not test strips or lancets. Instant online quote widget, same-day payment after receipt, clean and simple process. If you have CGM supplies specifically and want a streamlined experience, ValueCGM is a strong option.

TestStrips4Money.com

Rating: ★★★☆☆ — Strong price transparency (tiered by expiration date), but the site feels dated and the process is less streamlined than newer competitors. Solid for test strips specifically. Payment times are acceptable. Good if you have a large lot of test strips and want to see exact pricing upfront.

DiabeticsTrust.com

Rating: Currently N/A — Not accepting supplies — As verified in August 2026, DiabeticsTrust is showing "OVERSTOCKED — Join waitlist" and is not purchasing supplies. If you've landed on their site, they cannot buy from you right now. Check back periodically or use an alternative buyer in the meantime.

CashForDiabetics.com

National mail-in buyer: CashForDiabetics is a visible option in this category. Before choosing any mail-in buyer, review its current independent ratings, payment methods, inspection policy, shipping protections, return terms, and recent customer feedback. Ratings can change over time, so verify the latest information directly rather than relying on a single review platform.

Local pickup buyers — the fastest and safest option

Local pickup may be preferable for sellers who want in-person verification and immediate payment, while mail-in services may be more convenient for sellers outside the service area. Compare the buyer's process, payment timing, inspection terms, shipping protection, and return policy before deciding.

Local pickup buyers currently operating in major US markets:

• Charlotte, NC / Carolinas: same-day diabetic supply pickup in Charlotte — same-day pickup across Charlotte metro including Concord, Huntersville, Gastonia, Matthews, Mooresville, Rock Hill SC, Fort Mill SC. Payment on the spot via Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, or cash. A sister company of CLT Buyback. Nationwide mail-in also available.
• Texas: Texas Diabetic Supplies — serves Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and statewide.
• Los Angeles / Southern California: Trusted Diabetic — local or mail-in, 3+ years operating.
• Albany, NY: Albany Test Strips Buyer — local pickup with phone-number-first approach.

If you don't see your city listed, search "sell diabetic supplies [your city]" — the local buyer market is growing rapidly and new operations are launching regularly in major metros.

Peer-to-peer options — Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist

Selling directly to individuals can yield higher per-box prices, but comes with significant trade-offs:

• Time-consuming. Listing, messaging potential buyers, negotiating, arranging meetups or shipping — this can take days or weeks for a single transaction that a professional buyer handles in hours.
• Inconsistent demand. Professional buyers purchase everything you have in a single transaction. Individual buyers may want one box or may ghost you after showing interest.
• Safety considerations. In-person meetups with strangers for cash carry personal safety considerations that professional buyers (who operate with identifiable business information) don't.
• Legal grey area. eBay specifically prohibits the sale of many diabetic supply types. Facebook Marketplace enforces varying levels of restriction by product category and location.

Peer-to-peer makes more sense for very high-value individual items (a sealed Dexcom receiver, for example) where the price premium justifies the effort. For multiple boxes of sensors or pods, a professional buyer is almost always faster and less hassle.

Our recommendation by situation

Selling Dexcom or OmniPod specifically? See exactly how those sales work in our Dexcom G7 guide and OmniPod 5 guide.
