Buying testing strips? (work)

I passed a strangest ad on a pole on my way to work


WE BUY DIABETIC TEST STRIPS


With phone number.


Anyone knows, what's going on here? Didn't say new or used. Just that and ph #.

Big business on Ebay.

I buy test-strips at a very good price on Ebay. I assume these people buy them wholesale, and have a very viable market where to make a decent profit.

I've seen the same sign here in Lakeland, Fla.

Medicare also deals direct with mail-order suppliers so the supplies are free.

They need something that fits between a home A1c test and 3x day finger stick testing.
