Should I sell or turn in my ASV

Post by rozenbob » Tue Aug 22, 2017 11:35 am

I have a Respironics Auto Bipap ASV with three payments of $50 remaining (it is 10 months old).

I now have a new ASV machine from the VA.

I have three options with my original machine.
Return it and not pay remaining $150; Continue paying and then keep as a backup or sell to recoup some expenses.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Pay it off and keep it as a backup. ASV's are costly and have more things to screw up, a spare would be good. Jim

Then you have never seen one that had A.M. and P.M. on the display? I have. Jim

Most clocks don't need brakes.

"What's that squealing noise?"
"Oh, the clock in the tower needs a brake job".

Good choice, an extra cpap is critical to cpap therapy. You will feel lucky if you ever need it, but let's hope the new cpap works flawlessly!

Maybe I'll blow $2 and use my extra cpap's S/N number in the powerball tomorrow and see if I have the super lucky extra cpap machine.
