Direct answer: sealed retail FreeStyle Lite 100-count boxes pay up to $25 with 9+ months of dating; 50-count boxes pay up to $20. The Libre CGM wave left a lot of households with unopened Lite strips — they're still worth real money while the dating is strong.

The Libre-upgrade connection
Abbott moved millions of fingerstick users to Libre sensors, and every one of those upgrades potentially stranded a stack of sealed Lite boxes. If that's you, check the cabinet for both: leftover Lite strips and any early Libre sensor boxes you never applied. Both are sellable in one shipment — see what Libre sensors pay.
