I am not a fan of people who use their forum, which they provide as a free service, as a place to bash cpap.com. If you don't like their price, buy it elsewhere. My experience with cpap.com has been very favorable. I find their prices very very competitive and their service exceptional.

I suppose when you are invited to dinner, you criticize the host's cooking too.

Mike,

I believe I have particularly unique and strong position to come from when I say that you have nothing to be whining about here.

Sorry Mike,

I'm with Jaggles on this one. I've never bought anything from cpap.com but have received great help for free from this forum.

At the end of the day they are a business & entitled to charge what they want. If the customers don't like it they will vote with their feet.

Do you always bite the hand that feeds you, Mike? If you don't like their price, buy elsewhere.

I completely disagree, as I have before. It's ridiculous to say we can't criticize Cpap.com on this board just because they run the message board. This is exactly the type of reasoning that kept Imus on the air so long. He'd say things ten times worse than what he said about those Rutgers girls, but people would defend him and say, "oh but he does so much for charity." Just because they provide the board, doesn't make them immune to criticism or complaints. If anything, complaints on this board would be met with a more genuine response. If the people they provide a board for are complaining about them, then maybe they're in need of change. Just my $0.02.

I STILL don't know why I have to vote twice for the vote to register.

Your $0.02, is overvalued, You can criticize anyone, you want, as long as you are allowed, that however doesn't make it the polite, or the correct thing to do. The only way customers set prices are, by the gun, or vote with your billfold. Jim

What something is worth comes down to what it's worth to us, when we need it. Supply & Demand 101 I'll bet you still buy Gas for your car, someone must be.

CPAP.com is as open to criticism as anything or anyone else on this board. However, when I read a poll that starts out with "Is CPAP.com ripping us off", that goes beyond criticism and is purely an attack. If you think the price is high then say so, but the implication is our forum sponsor is stealing from us.

That is both disrespectful to the company and personnel.

I would just like to note the administrator has not removed this thread, which would of occurred on other Forums.

CPAP.COM has not taken anything from anyone by "force" ... the customers have a choice to buy or not to buy.

Silly humans ... always blaming someone else for their disappointments

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Have any of you asked cpap.com if they are willing to meet that price before buying elsewhere?
