If you have sealed, unexpired diabetic supplies and want to hand them off in person on a Saturday or Sunday, you can arrange a local meetup in Orlando. Message us first with the product names, quantities and expiration dates. We confirm eligibility, price, place and time, and then we inspect the items with you and pay on the spot for what we accept. Weekend availability changes, so confirm the day and time with us before you drive anywhere.
This guide covers what we can take, what to prepare, how a safe handoff goes, and what to do with items we cannot buy.
TL;DR
- Weekend meetups are for sealed, unused, unexpired supplies in original packaging: Dexcom G6 and G7 sensors, FreeStyle Libre sensors, Omnipod pods and major-brand test strips.
- Confirm first. Send photos, quantities and expiration dates, then agree on a time, a public place and a payment method before you leave home.
- Never bring used needles, lancets, syringes or opened boxes. Sharps follow local disposal rules.
- Keep enough supplies for your own care. Sell only true excess.
- We inspect items with you and pay on the spot once we accept them.

What “weekend pickup” means here
Search for the phrase and you will mostly find pickup-truck rentals, airport rides and food drive-thrus. This page is about something else: a short, in-person handoff of unused diabetes supplies for cash.
We buy locally in Orlando and the surrounding area. That means no boxing items up, no waiting for a mailed package to be checked, and no wondering whether a shipment arrived. You meet someone, show the items, and get paid if they qualify.
We do not publish fixed weekend hours on this page, and we will not promise a slot we have not confirmed with you. Treat any Saturday or Sunday meetup as something you book by message first. The same goes for an evening meetup: ask, agree on a time, and keep daylight and a busy location in mind.
What we can take on a weekend
Only products that are sealed, unused and not expired qualify. In practice that covers:
- CGM sensors: Dexcom G6 and G7, FreeStyle Libre sensors.
- Pump supplies: Omnipod pods in sealed boxes.
- Test strips: sealed boxes from major brands.
What we cannot take is just as clear:
- Opened or damaged packages
- Used sensors or pods
- Needles, lancets and syringes of any kind
- Expired items
- Insulin and other medication
Why so strict? A sealed box in its original packaging can be checked in a minute. Anything opened or used cannot be verified, and sharps are a safety problem for everyone at the table. The American Diabetes Association says used needles and syringes belong in a rigid, opaque, screw-top container, never in recycling, and that is where they stay: out of the meetup.
What your supplies may be worth
Our published pricing for two of the most common items looks like this:
| Item | What we pay |
|---|---|
| Unused Dexcom G7 | 70-90 USD per pack |
| FreeStyle Libre 2 | 15-20 USD per sensor |
The exact offer depends on the item, the quantity and its condition and dating when we inspect it. You can see the details on our Dexcom G7 buyback page and our FreeStyle Libre 2 buyback page. For Omnipod pods and test strips we do not publish a set price. Send us what you have and we will quote it before you go anywhere.
If you want to estimate the value of a mixed pile first, read what your leftover diabetic supplies are worth.
Before you book: four checks
A weekend handoff fails for boring reasons. These four checks prevent most of them.
1. Check the expiration dates
Read every box, not just the top one. Different lots in the same order can carry different dates. Our short guide on checking expiration before selling supplies shows where to look on each type of product.
2. Make sure the supplies are really excess
Device and prescription changes leave people with leftovers all the time. A new CGM generation, a switch from strips to sensors, or a change of pump can all do it. Our overview of common device upgrades covers the typical cases.
Keep your own care first. Do not sell your backup stock, and do not change your treatment because you want to move supplies. If your prescription or device is changing, your care team decides that, not a buyer.
3. Know where the supplies came from
Supplies tied to insurance have rules. Medicare, for example, says diabetes supplies are linked to a prescription that names the equipment, testing frequency and monthly quantities. Medicare also says it does not pay for supplies you did not request or that a supplier sends automatically.
If boxes keep arriving that you did not ask for, the right first step is to contact the supplier and your prescriber about the order. Do not assume everything that lands on your doorstep is meant for resale. Our pages on selling insurance-covered supplies and the DME supplier relationship explain how this usually plays out. If you are unsure about your own plan’s terms, call your insurer or supplier before you sell.
4. Gather the paperwork
Keep the original packaging, and keep any purchase or delivery records you have. You may not need them, but having them on hand makes the inspection quicker.
How a weekend meetup works
- Message us. Include product names, quantities, expiration dates and clear photos of the sealed boxes.
- Get a quote. We confirm whether the items qualify and what we would pay.
- Agree on a place and time. Pick a public, well-lit spot. Confirm the day, an arrival window and a backup plan.
- Bring the original packaging. Everything sealed, nothing opened.
- Inspect together. We check the items in front of you, so you see exactly what is accepted.
- Get paid. Payment is made on the spot for eligible items, using the method you agreed on in step 2.
Our meetup and inspection tips walk through the same steps in more detail, and the full guide to getting cash for unused supplies covers the process from start to finish.
Choosing a safe place to meet
We meet in public local locations, and we think you should insist on that with anyone you sell to. A busy parking lot, a store entrance or a daylight coffee shop beats a private address.
The City of Orlando has also set up an exchange zone at police headquarters for people who buy and sell items face to face. Its policy document describes the program, which is aimed at keeping handoffs of this kind safer. Ask us whether a spot like that suits you, and check the department’s current rules before you go.
A note on meeting near the airport
Some sellers live or work near Orlando International Airport and suggest meeting there. Be careful. Airport curbs are meant for active loading. Orlando International Airport prohibits unattended vehicles at passenger curbs and tells pickup drivers to wait in the free cell-phone lots. Those rules apply to passenger pickups, not to a supply handoff, but they show why an airport curb is a poor meeting place. Pick a normal public lot nearby instead.
A short example
Say you switched from test strips to a CGM in September and now have four sealed boxes of strips and two unopened sensor packs. It is Friday night and you want this done on Saturday.
- You photograph each box, showing the brand, lot and expiration date.
- You send the list to us with your Saturday availability.
- We reply with a quote and a time window.
- You bring the boxes, sealed, in a bag.
- We inspect them with you. If one box is expired or damaged, we say so right there, and you take it back.
- You are paid for the rest.
The point of the photos is to make the in-person part boring. Surprises happen when a seller arrives with a bag nobody has seen.
What to do with items we cannot buy
Some supplies are not eligible. Used sharps are the main case. For those, the American Diabetes Association recommends a rigid, leak-resistant, opaque container that closes securely, and it advises against putting that container in recycling. The same ADA guide also describes mail-back programs, where a company sends you a container and you mail it back when it is nearly full.
For other household hazardous waste, Orange County lists the Orange County Landfill at 5901 Young Pine Road and the Porter Road Transfer Station at 1326 Good Homes Road, open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The City of Orlando says hazardous waste cannot go out with curbside trash and must be taken to a drop-off location. Holiday closures apply, so check the county page before you drive. Since these sites close on Sunday, a Saturday morning trip is the practical weekend option.
Do not ask whether a facility will take sharps and then guess. Call first, and follow what the county or your pharmacist tells you.
Our perspective: why we do it in person
We started doing local, in-person buybacks because shipping adds delay and risk for the person selling. You pack a box, wait for it to arrive, wait for it to be checked, and then wait for payment. Many people with leftover supplies just want a clear answer today.
Here is what we have learned from the kinds of questions sellers ask:
- Most people have leftovers because something changed. A new device, a new prescription or a plan that ships more than they use.
- Clear communication matters more than speed. A seller who sends photos and dates up front gets a quick, fair quote and a short meetup.
- Safety comes first. Sealed and unexpired items only. No sharps. A public place. Payment on acceptance.
- Your care comes first too. We never want anyone to sell supplies they still need.
We also keep our pricing policy plain. If we publish a range, we explain what moves you within it. If we do not publish a price, we quote it before you travel.

If you mostly have test strips, our page on selling test strips safely explains the Medicare checks and what we look at on the box.
FAQ
Can I sell diabetic supplies on a Saturday or Sunday in Orlando?
Often yes, but confirm first. We do not post fixed weekend hours here, so message us with your items, your preferred day and a time window. We will tell you whether we can meet and where.
What should I bring to the meetup?
Bring the sealed original packaging and nothing else you plan to sell. Have your photos and expiration dates ready on your phone, and any purchase records you have. Leave used sensors, needles, lancets and opened boxes at home.
Can I sell supplies my insurance paid for?
It depends on your plan and how the supplies reached you. Medicare says supplies are tied to a prescription and that it does not pay for items sent automatically or not requested. Check your plan terms with your insurer or supplier before selling, and read our page on insurance-covered supplies.
Do you take an evening appointment instead?
Ask us. Evening times depend on the day and on whether a busy, well-lit public place is available. If it is not, we would rather move the meetup to daytime than meet somewhere less safe.
What if my supplies are not eligible?
We will tell you during the quote or the inspection. Sharps and other hazardous items should go to proper disposal, such as a sharps container or a county drop-off site on its listed hours, not into the curbside bin.
