OK, got a Mirage Liberty mask from the dme today (must get from dme for insurance to reimburse) for $300.00+ with the headgear. Cost from cpap.com $174.95.

That's just wrong.

Amazing! And, we all end up paying the extra money through our insurance premiums and taxes. Amazing!

Not strictly apples to apples, but you should also include vs CPAPAuction.com...

Liberty Used Momentarily, $40 reserve unmet, 8 days until it expires.

Yes, great idea to use cpapauction.com! I've bought/sold already, saved $100s. And, this is the perfect way to try out new masks--if I find a mask doesn't work for me, then I'll just resell it on the auction.

It is also certainly not apples to apples when one comapres Johnny to most other DME business owners. I for one am very impressed by his willingness to truely help xPAP users rather than just sticking to the bottom line.

How many other DME business owners do you see helping xPAP users by promoting PAP products at a lower cost and in direct competition to his own so that the less financially fortunate can afford to get the equipement they need to live from night to night?

Thanks Johnny for your great contribution to the world of PAP treatment where business revenue is second to patient health and community.
