Here are several eBay hits I found searching for "empty canon":
160343991729
350219825606
160343991929
There were many more.
Years ago, when I was buying hundreds of BCI-3e and BCI-6 cartridges, they were much cheaper. I think the idea that they are worth $3 each at Staples is bringing the price up but it's very hard for one person to cash in many hundreds of these cartridges because you are limited to 10 per month and there is a time limit when you can spend the money (actually a check).
Like nche11, I highly recommend Canon original. I have many third-party filled cartridges that I don't use or want.

If you need the ink and blank cartridges try this link: http://tinyurl.com/mdp99w
You could also send an e-mail to see if you can get cartridges separately.

Wow, what a novel idea! Better grab it quit. These blank cartridges are empty Canons and they come predrilled to take the plugs they also supply.

Nice to see that a good ink vendor is quoting our forum and directing people here for advice! This is in contrast to vendors of goods of unknown quality trying to advertise here by posting info as if they were merely participants with a recommendation!

My only thought with the third-party cartridges was to maybe sometime in the far distant future when I run out of things to do, experiment with them to show why they don't flow as well as Canon cartridges. If Staples keeps up their current offer of taking ANY cartridge for $3 and I run out of my empty Canon cartridges, THEN I guess I could turn in these others. I really wouldn't wish them on other people and I know Staples isn't going to refill them, they have there own brand.
Also, thanks, fotofreak, for pointing out the reference to our forum on the eBay listing, I had missed it.

The link I submitted earlier, bid has expired. You might want to check out all the products he has on sale(Hobby Colors). I didn't get a warning about spyware you probably have your security level set too high.
