FOR SALE ResMed H5i w/ Heated hose and Trvl Bag

[Frankc111]

Selling ResMed H5i heated humidifier, Climateline heated tubing and ResMed Travel bag and all manuals. Limited use for several months (not enough to meet compliance) I changed to another Insurance provider the 1st of the year and their DME does not offer ResMed so I have no use for the equipment. This equipment is like new. I have many pictures available. I paid $330 but will sell for $125 + shipping or it can be picked up if your in the Tampa, Fl area.

Frank,
two pieces of information for you:

1) recently scammers have abused folks on this site with bogus sales of used equipment, so you'll find that folks here will be hesitant to do business with someone who isn't known here.

2) you sould check your price against secondwindcpap.com. They are a trusted supplier of used CPAP equipment, and their price is $90 for an Hi5, tested with a return policy... So your price seems a bit high.

[Frankc111]

John is that with the Climateline hose and travel bag? The other thing is users can look up my 1st post in here and see when I got the machine to verify it a relatively new unit and it is in perfect condition both cosmetically and functionally. Secondwind I am sure does functionality testing and I am sure the refuse the really beat up units but I am also sure most will have some war wounds ( nicks, scratches on the housing or display screen etc.) . But thanks for the heads up

How do you know that?

[Frankc111]

How do I know what? That they may have cosmetic blems? If that is the question if you look at the fine print on the "Refurbished Equipment" on all sites the disclaimer is always there regarding cosmetic imperfections.

From Second's website "All sales are final.
Returns on [used] machines are based on mechanical defect only"

Please note the "good working order" and no mention of cosmetics defects "To sell: All machines purchased by Secondwind CPAP must be in good working order. It is absolutely essential that the machine come from a smoke-free environment, and must be free of heavy odors such as Patchouli Oil, or other heavy fragrances/perfumes; If there is any question about this, please have a third party such as friend or family member evaluate the smell of the device for odor neutrality. Odors are impossible to remove from this type of medical equipment. If there is even a hint of cigarette smoke/perfume on these devices, they will be shipped back to you."

So IOW you're a LSOS.

[mollete]

And since Secondwind is a reseller, then that means you need to undersell them.

I'll give you 65 and you pay shipping.

[Frankc111]

Not sure what LSOS means but we are comparing apples and oranges Molette. I am selling a LIKE NEW 6 month old equipment (used for only 3 months, the last 3 months it has been stored in the travel bag in a closet) Equipment cost new $330. You are comparing a unit from a retailer with unknown usage, it could have 2 years on the hot plate plugs and wiring hood seal etc. The cosmetic condition is unknown as well. You are given a 6 month warranty after that you are rolling the dice with the unknown. If In were buyer I would be more interested in the newer barely used unit that I can see 8 pictures of it and its cosmetic and operational integrity are described and age can be verified by seeing my 1st post in this forum. I appreciate your offer of $60 but I will respectfully decline the offer. Someone will realize the value in the like new, barely used equipment. Not to mention you are apparently not taking into account the Climateline hose and Travel bag. The humidifier is all you get for $90.00 PLUS shipping from Secondwind.

We can verify everything you say by simply cross-referencing what you say with what you say. Very simple. So you see it is obviously worth 3 times as much money as the one from the well respected and well known reseller.
How much warranty are you offering on yours?

Salton your math skills are lacking or can't read or comprehend there are 3 items being sold vs 1 used unknown humidifier used for with an unknown amount of use , age, care from a well known retailer respected retailer. So you are comparing 1 items price to a package containing 3 items. So go buy it from them, then buy the hose and travel bag and tell me what your total comes to Genius. If you are trying to say I started a grand scheme in august 2012 to mislead or defraud someone out of a whole $125 is just vicious and shows your stupidity, maybe you are shady, maybe you are hard up for $125 and would try scam someone but I am not. I am not saying negative about Secondwind or any other retailer I am just stating the fact that you do not know anything about the used product you are buying other than it was plugged in and worked on the day of the test period, how long it was use, its care, cosmetic condition, age of seals etc. So your facts right before you shoot your mouth off ... 1. I am selling 3 Items not 1. 2. No matter how reputable a retailer is you are buying a pig in a blanket with no idea how long it was in use or cared for because the RETAILER doesn't know. So get your facts straight, do your math correctly and don't insinuate that my word is worth nothing before you open you mouth so I don't have to make you look like the fool that you are. I don't want to have to chew you up and spit you out again. This forum seemed like a bunch of nice helpful people that I enjoyed browsing and learning in but since I posted these items for sale it seems like I am under attack by people that just want to beat me down with the price, discourage me from selling and prop up a Secondwind. I am very shocked by the posts on this subject.

[Stormynights]

This seems like a fair price to me.

All I am saying is that you seem to think we cannot trust second wind but your word is golden.
Your name calling is quite skilled however. A fine touch of class.
Perhaps you need more sleep.

[Frankc111]

Salton, Read my posts AGAIN I am not saying anything about Secondwind's reputation or that they would not stand behind a FUNCTIONALLY DEFECTIVE Item. I am just stating the facts and if you were to check with them I am sure they would agree with the common sense facts I have stated. But understand you will have downtime waiting for replacement equipment if it does fail and unless your saying ResMed makes unreliable junk right out of the box then I would say the chances of failure ANYTIME in the near future are very very slim. THEY DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY, USAGE, CARE, HOW MANY PREVIOUS OWNERS, IS IT A USED UNIT THAT WAS BOUGHT BY THE PERSON THEY PURCHASED IT FROM? WILL THEY PROVIDE COSMETICS DETAILS? PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE UNIT YOU WILL RECEIVE? I am sure they are a reputable business but there is something to be said for buying an item from the ORIGINAL owner that can provide the details of the unit being sold other than it was tested and it works today. But I am not trying to trash ANY retailer I was just stating the FACTS. If I were buying it would be a no brainer decision for me I would by the unit that was NEW privately owned, single user/owner that I could look back and see when it was put in service by the clueless 1st post by the owner (me)vs the unit that COULD have been sold and resold before, used by a hospital, nursing home, sleep center or be a couple of years old with a load of hours on it etc. PLUS everyone wants to compare the cost of ONE item vs THREE ITEMS.... not exactly savvy shoppers But how anyone could extrapolate I was trashing or saying Secondwind is not a reputable company by stating the facts of buying a used unit from ANY retailer of used equipment is baffling. BUT AGAIN I am just stating the FACTS not inferring anything negative about ANY used equipment retailer, it is simply the nature of the beast.

We do not know for sure if there is in fact a flow generator, or just the humidifier.
Furthermore can you certify the serial numbers are not on file at a police station?

I assume your question is can I that I did not go steal a CPAP to use then return the rent to own S9 unit to the DME or break up a complete system (which would be much easier to sell) by selling the S9 and not the complete package. UMM yes I can and and thats another advantage of buying from me vs from a used equipment retailer that cannot offer the same history of the equipment for sale.
There is no meter to my knowledge (it would be great for me if there was something that recorded hour of use on the humidifier) all usage data is captured on and relates the CPAP itself.

I think I need to drink some of the cool-aid you people are drinking.
