Hello! I had the original Cricut for a long time and loved using it. It recently bit the dust so I got a Cricut Joy. I am not sure what to do with the cartridges--is there still a market for them or should I just toss them all? Thanks for any help!

My local thrift store sells them for $10, and sometimes people ask for them on Buy Nothing. There's still a market.

Have you contacted Cricut about accessing your cartridge files via design space? If you had a Cricut Gypsy they might already be there.

Make sure the ones you want are linked to your design space account. If you have any of the licensed ones that are no longer available (like Hello Kitty) they might be worth a little money. Hello kitty used to sell for $100, I’m not sure if it’s still that popular but given its rarity I’d guess it is.

You need to link them to your Cricut Design Space account, they can help you with them. That way, you can still access the images on them and use them in your crafting.  |

You need to link them to your Cricut Design Space account, they can help you with them. That way, you can still access the images on them and use them in your crafting. Definitely do this. However, if you sell the cartridges, and whoever buys them contacts Cricut to link them to their account, all they have to do is take a photo of the cartridge, with the number that identifies it, it could potentially disappear from your account. Legally, if you sell them, you lose the right to use those images. I kept mine, but there were a few that didn’t link properly to my Cricut Explore Air 2. Cricut helped me link them, but I had to send them a photo that showed the number on each cartridge, not just the title. I don’t know if that number is a unique number for that cartridge, or a more generic number that goes on all the cartridges with those designs. I think each cartridge might have unique identifying number, which would let Cricut know if someone sold that particular cartridge after linking to their account. |

I will second this...part of what drew me to Cricut instead of other cutting systems was the cartridges, because I did not always want to be needing to be on wifi or connected to the internet to use my cutting system. Sometimes remote locations (if you go to a cabin or a retreat) will have spotty wifi and I hate the idea of needing to be on the internet to use my cutting system. Just something to think about, that if the internet goes down you cannot do what you want to do for scrapbooking if you are only relying on design space. |

There's still a market. yeah, i just saw a bunch at a thrift for $9.99 each. there was no distinction between the basic or desirable cartridges, they were just $9.99. i sold all of mine a long time ago. i also sold the Gypsy that they were loaded on (different buyer). i let the buyer of the cartridges know that they were already linked to save them the trouble of trying to link them again. |

i let the buyer of the cartridges know that they were already linked to save them the trouble of trying to link them again. I think it's smart if selling them to let the prospective buyer know if they are linked or not. Some buyers won't care because they are planning to use them as cartridges offline, some will care because they want to be able to link them. |

I asked this question a while ago and I still have them. They're sitting in my closet and haven't been used in years. I may try and sell the branded ones (like the Disney ones) and will probably donate the rest. Although now that I've said that, I'll probably just keep them in my closet forever because what if I need that one cartridge with that one font I can't find for free on the internet?  |
