Respironics

Post by Rodrugg » Tue Apr 22, 2008 8:14 am

Wow, I been gone a long time sleeping with my machine and all and now I needed a new mask and that ComfortLite 2 mask looked good to me so I made some angels out of popcicle sticks and sold them at the flea market to get some money and that mask was $80 and now it's $130 because that Respironics guy says so. I almost flipped over backwards and hit my head on that thing on the wall. Well, I'm not gonna buy a mask from those guys again. My uncle Stanley went to bailiff training one time and he said that's probably illegal or immoral or whatever. Next time I need a machine I will not buy one from them even though I have one of their machines now. Also, I will not say their name again and I'm gonna scratch it off my machine with a pocket knife.

Yep, I agree. Pretty much sums up my feelings about it as well.

Price-fixing money-grubbers (rationalized in the interest of better therapy for all ... gimme a break!)

Regards,

Yep, they are right up there with the oil companies. Diesel in our parts is now over $4.00 a gallon -- gas is at $3.35 a gallon.

I am glad I don't commute far to work.

Try cpapauction.com, or Mask Roulette to find a CL2 for less. I'm sure there's someone on this forum who hates it and would gladly trade it to you for something. You can always find someone who hates the mask you want and probably got stuck with it by a DME.

Contemplate bartering something non-cpap related. I've gotten some great stuff from forum members in barter. A lovely photograph of a mountain by a lake that now graces my living room wall, some great tie-dyed clothing, a Woot! Screaming Monkey...

Good luck in your quest!

I'll sell 'ya my CL2 for $50 (shipping in CONUS included free) and you can use your remaining $30 for more popsicles

I'll even scrape off the Respironics label with an X-acto knife for an extra $20

Seriously though, PM me if interested.

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.

How do I know you're not that Respironics guy? This seems like it could be a scheme or a lure or a trap or whatever. What is a conus? How do you know I want it shipped in a conus? Maybe I want it shipped in a box or big envelope.

Isn't Kinney on Family Guy?

conus -- usually stands for Continental USA meaning the lower 48 states.

Hummm -- Dreamstalker a Respironics guy? I can picture that now!!

Sounds like he is trying to help you out and save you some money!!

That would be the fault of the commodities brokers, not the oil companies.

Well, I guess you just won't know. Fact is I have a CL2 that I only used for 3 or 4 nights about a year and a half ago and has been sitting unused in my closet (in a box). I'll even lower the price to $40 shipped conus ... does that sound like something a Respironics guy would do?

conus = continental US or lower 48 states.

I can put it in a box, or a big envelope, or a plastic bag, or just wrap it up in duct tape if you want

Sorry but I done finded it on another web place for $79. I guess the Respironics guy don't know about it yet or whatever. I hope he never finds out.

I had a AEOMedics thing or whatever for 3 years and the other night my grandma fell asleep with her cigar and made the alarm go off and I jumped out of bed and ran right into the sliding glass door with my face and that mask shattered into 50 pieces with plastic and metal and whatever shooting out all over the place and some piece of plastic got lodged up into scalp and bleeded like crazy and I think I passed out for a little while. Anyways, that mask is destroyed and this new one looks like it could stand up without shattering into your skin or whatever. I loved that old mask but it is dead now.

Sorry I thought you was scary or whatever. I saw your name and for some reason I thought it was Dreams Talker and I just panicked.

No problemo! My avatar is a bit scary to some but I have never talked in my dreams ... at least I don't think I have but I don't really know cuz I'm usually asleep when I'm dreaming.

Anyhow, I got one of those AEOMedics thingies sitt'n in the closet next to the CL2. I'll sell that one for $40 too if you want another live one. My grandma don't smoke either ... so all my masks are from a smoke-free home.

You can prolly take that piece of plastic out of your scalp with a pair of pliers ... if not, duct tape will cover it up pretty good and help stop the bleeding too.

Take care!

EDIT: I have already recieved a few PM requests for the Aura Headrest. Sorry, but it is no longer available. Thanks.

Rodrugg, you Obviously have not been around this board very much or you would have known that Dreamstalker was one of the good guys. He wears a white hat! Absolutly no connection with Resproinics.
