Person to person is one thing.

How many person to person machines are you going to sell since you have now posted a second machine for sale in the short time you have been a member here?

You work for a DME. Is that where these machines are coming from?

cpapauction.com exists for a reason.

Jules - I was wondering the same thing. Why wouldn't you sell on cpapauction.com ,especially when you have a number of items???? This is not really a sales site, whereas cpapauction.com is.

if you sell on cpapauction it does cost you $ to register and to pay them a %age of the sale price I think

a person selling one machine here I don't have problems with but the first machine this person was selling about 2 weeks ago was in a smoking environment and now this second one wasn't

these are not person to person sales imho

I assume these are machines clients have returned that someone is trying to make some money off of
