Anyone know of a site where I can sell hypodermic needles/syringes for vet supply or medical use? Ebay does not allow it because it's illegal in CA. It isn't in most other states. I have a ton of them.

Jt I"m not sure but I think you'll find that it is illegal in any number of states...you have to have a perscription in the New England states for hypodermics....you can get insulin without a perscription but it's kinda hard to take it without the hypo.
How many do you have?

Oh, about 22 cases of assorted types left. I just gave about 9 cases to the church garage sale just because they wouldn't fit on my shelf.
Unknowingly, I listed them on ebay once and before they canned me they were going like hot cakes. I listed them in farm supply or something. I sold about 10 cases to a vet student in Japan. I could not find that Japan prohibited them.
They are hospital surplus intended for human use. I need to sell them to get them out of here. I didn't pay much per case at all and I just want to get my money back.

Hi Sadie~
I just spent a couple of hours shopping my Foster & Smith catalog & shopping with them online and found a few pages of pet vaccines that you can buy right online.

Thank you all! I found what I was looking for.
There are about 4000 people in the three towns that 2 part time vets take care of. Half the folks here don't care about vaccines or vet care in general, and the vets try to make it up by charging those of us who do act responsibly an arm and a leg.
Hypodermics are excellent for inserting glue...for instance, into veneer bubbles. Maybe you can sell them to furniture refinishers? Dunno where you can sell them online, though.

Thanks Toke. We sold quite a lot of them at an electronics fair for glue. I suppose that eventually someone will buy them.
I remember that there was a medical auction site that was to open. I will go search for that again. There is a big market for it. We did sell feeding pumps (on ebay? somewhere.) and every one sold for a good price.
