Sell Omnipod Pods for Cash
Yes. Sealed Omnipod 5 and Omnipod DASH pods in their original boxes are bought for cash, by mail from any US state or in person through local buyers. Pods arrive by the box on a schedule and stop being needed all at once, so a sealed stockpile is the usual situation, and it has a ready buyer.
Cash For Test Strips USA is an independent buyer. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Insulet Corporation in any way. Omnipod and Omnipod 5 are trademarks of Insulet Corporation, and are used here only to identify the products being bought and sold.
Which Omnipod products are accepted
Boxes must be sealed and in original retail packaging. The Omnipod 5 boxes are sold in versions matched to a particular CGM pairing, so the pairing printed on the carton matters when you describe what you have.
Omnipod 5
- Omnipod 5 (Purple) G6/G7 pods
- Omnipod 5 (Purple) G6/Libre 2 pods
- Omnipod 5 (Purple) Libre 2/Libre 3 pods
- Omnipod 5 Starter Kit (with PDM)
Omnipod DASH
- Omnipod DASH 5-pack pods
Check the front of the carton for the generation (Omnipod 5 or DASH) and, on Omnipod 5, the sensor pairing shown on the label. A photo of the front panel is the quickest way to describe it. What to photograph and how to send it.
Two ways to sell: mail-in or local
Shipping pods is simple: ask for a kit, put the sealed cartons in the box provided, stick on the prepaid USPS label and drop it off at the post office. Nothing is due from you up front, and payment follows once the cartons reach us. Start a mail-in kit.
If you would rather hand pods over face to face, use the buyer directory lists buyers nearest your ZIP and which brands each accepts. Questions before you start? Call or text 518-278-6008.
Why people end up with spare pods
A switch to a tubed pump is the most frequent reason. Pods ship in cartons of five on an automatic schedule, so by the time a change of system is complete there is often a month or two of cartons still arriving.
A change of therapy, a new insurance plan that covers a different system, or a household cleared after a bereavement produces the same result: several sealed cartons that nobody will use.

What is not accepted
Opened cartons are not bought, and neither are supplies that came through a government-covered program. Only the Omnipod 5 and DASH lines listed above are covered on this page. Reusable accessories and loose single pods outside their carton are not part of the accepted list. Other reading on what is excluded.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell sealed Omnipod pods for cash?
Yes. Sealed Omnipod 5 and DASH cartons in their original packaging are accepted. You can sell by mail from any US state or look for an in-person buyer in the directory. There is no auction, no storefront and no platform fee.
Do you buy Omnipod 5 pods as well as DASH?
Yes, both. Omnipod 5 pods in each CGM pairing, the Omnipod 5 starter kit that includes the PDM, and DASH five-pack pods are on the accepted list. Different generations can go into one quote.
Does the CGM pairing on my Omnipod 5 box matter?
It is part of describing the box accurately. Omnipod 5 cartons are labeled for a specific sensor pairing, such as Dexcom G6 and G7 or FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3. Include the front of the carton in your photo and the pairing will be visible.
How many pods do I need to have before sending?
There is no minimum on the page. Even one sealed carton can be quoted. Larger lots usually go in a single mail-in kit, which keeps shipping simple.
Is this different from the Omnipod blog post?
The blog post explains what to do when pods are left over and why people end up with them. This page is the direct route: which Omnipod products are accepted and how to sell them by mail or locally.
Can I sell Omnipod pods together with sensors or test strips?
Yes. Sealed Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre sensors and sealed test strip boxes can be listed in the same quote and shipped together, which is convenient after a full system change.
