If you have extra FreeStyle Libre sensors at home, first check which version you have. The Libre 3 and the Libre 3 Plus look very similar, and many sellers use the names as if they were the same product. They are not. At Orlando Diabetic Supplies Buyback, we buy both, and telling them apart helps you get an accurate quote the first time. This guide explains the differences, why they matter when you sell, and how selling works.
The Main Differences Between Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus
Both sensors are small, wearable continuous glucose monitors from Abbott that send readings to a compatible phone or reader. The differences are in the details printed on the box.
Wear time: 14 days vs 15 days
The Libre 3 sensor is worn for up to 14 days. The Libre 3 Plus sensor is worn for up to 15 days. A box that says 15 day wear is the Plus. A box that says 14 day wear is the regular Libre 3.
Age range
The Libre 3 is cleared for people 4 years and older. The Libre 3 Plus is cleared for people 2 years and older, so it covers younger children as well.
Pump compatibility
The Libre 3 Plus was built to work with compatible automated insulin delivery systems, which are insulin pumps that adjust delivery using sensor readings. The regular Libre 3 does not have that pump integration. If your care team moved you to a Plus sensor for pump use, that is often why you have one version left over while you now use the other.
Apart from those points, the two sensors are close relatives. They are similar in size and both need to be sealed and in date to have value when you sell them.
Why the Difference Matters When You Sell
When you contact a buyer, the exact product name is part of your quote. Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus sensors are different products with different part numbers, so a quote for one does not automatically match the other. If the version is wrong in your first message, the quote has to be redone when the boxes are checked.
That is why we ask which version you have, how many sensors you have, and the expiration date on each box. Pricing depends on the product, the quantity, and the expiration date, and later dates pay more. A clear photo of the front and back of the box helps us confirm the version, the part number, and the date in one step.
What We Buy
We buy sealed FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors and sealed FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors, as long as they are in mint condition with the original packaging unopened and undamaged. We also buy Libre 2, Libre 2 Plus, and Libre 14 Day sensors, and Libre readers for the 14 Day, Libre 2, and Libre 3 systems.
Many sellers have a mix of supplies, and you can sell them together in one meetup or one shipment. We also buy sealed Dexcom G7 sensors, including the 10 Day and 15 Day, Dexcom G7 receivers, Dexcom Stelo sensors, Omnipod 5 pods, Omnipod Dash pods and starter kits, Tandem infusion sets and cartridges, Medtronic Guardian 4 sensors and Mio Advance infusion sets, sealed test strips, and lancets. Our guide to selling extra Omnipod 5 pods in Florida explains how pod selling works with the same meetup and shipping options.
Open or loose sensors cannot be accepted. Set aside anything open or damaged and keep sealed boxes in a cool, dry place.
How Selling Your Libre Sensors Works
Step 1: Tell us what you have
Call or text us at (689) 220-1491 with the version, Libre 3 or Libre 3 Plus, the number of sensors, and the expiration date on each box. A photo of the boxes helps us confirm everything quickly.
Step 2: Get your quote
Once we know the product, quantity, and expiration dates, we will give you a quote based on those details. There is no obligation to accept. Pricing depends on the product, the quantity, and the expiration date, and later dates pay more.
Step 3: Meet in the Orlando area or ship for free
If you are in the Orlando area, we can set up a same day meetup and pay you cash in person once we have checked your sensors. If you are elsewhere in the US, we will email you a free shipping label. Once we receive and inspect your supplies, we pay you by Zelle, Cash App, or Apple Pay.
You can learn more about who we are on our homepage, reach out through our Contact page, or check our FAQs page if you still have questions before you start.
Tips for Getting an Accurate Quote the First Time
Check every box, not just the top one, because mixed boxes happen after a prescription change. Group Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus boxes separately, and write down each expiration date, since dates can differ between boxes. Take one clear photo of each box front. These steps make inspection faster and help your quote stay accurate.
Selling sooner also helps. Every sensor moves closer to its expiration date while it sits in a drawer, and later dates pay more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell both Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus sensors together?
Yes. If you have both versions, you can sell them in the same meetup or shipment. Just tell us how many of each version you have and the expiration date for each box, so we can quote each product correctly.
Do my Libre sensors have to be sealed?
Yes. We only buy Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus sensors that are sealed and in mint condition, with the original packaging unopened and undamaged. Open or loose sensors cannot be accepted.
How do I tell which version I have?
Check the front of the box. The Libre 3 Plus name includes the word Plus, and its box shows a 15 day wear time. The regular Libre 3 box shows a 14 day wear time. If you are still unsure, send us a photo of the box and we will confirm it for you.
How do I get paid if I ship my sensors?
We email you a free shipping label for anywhere in the US. Once your package arrives and we inspect your supplies, we pay you by Zelle, Cash App, or Apple Pay. If you meet us in the Orlando area instead, you are paid cash in person.
