No response from the seller to my e-mail and it's been a few days. Plus he's a new seller.. Good deal but I will have to look at others..

I asked what the exact blower hours were on the machine and if he had more pictures of the actual machine and possibly the mask as well.

Here is another one on craiglist that is in my area and I can actually go over and look at...

I don't think too many from here use the Polaris.. Is there a reason?

Thanks!

Thank you Georgio.. I just received my prescription from my doctor today and am so ready to buy a machine! Having a limited amount of money makes it really hard to buy something that I really want though. I am sort of going crazy right now looking all over the internet, thrift stores, yard sales for one. It's my whole life right now! I am so eager to get started on this..

Hi Michelle,

This unit, M Series Pro C-Flex CPAP MachineAuction Number: 29191, has no bids and is $150.00 right now. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you got it under $200. I think that is a real bargain. I think that CPAPAuction.com is going to be your best bet to find a bargain somewhat quickly, unless you get really lucky on Craigslist. Good luck.....I know you are anxious to get started and finding the right machine at the right price isin't easy. Think in terms though that this can be something you'll use for 5 years or more.....and that it is an important medical necessity.

Oh yeah, you need to send, fax, upload your prescription to cpapaution.com before you can bid.

That is so sweet of you TR I really do appreciate it. But I would not want to take a chance if something went wrong with your machine and I could not afford to fix it I would just feel horrible... Plus I have pet's..

I am surprised this thread has not been deleted.
I got this from the modeator and assume she is opposed to any mention of buying from auction other than this site.
Is this a good idea to not allow this?

----------------

I'm going to have to reject this message as this subject always gets
heated and sometimes ugly in the group. Personally, I would never
suggest anyone purchase a machine without a prescription.
