I think Secondwind is in the position of a reseller/recycler when selling used machines;
but in the case of open box, or unopened, they may be helping dispose of excess inventory,
and in the event of older or damaged packaging, older firmware, etc.,
and are afforded some leeway, as that's the only way it could be done.

Five out of nine U.S. Supreme Court Justices say it is legal: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/29/washi ... .html?_r=0

(Think maybe the other four are CPAPers?)

When corporations take control of your/our government ... anything that corporations do is legal.

When are you people going to realize we're not in Kansas anymore?
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.

Constitutional Democracy - Still the best government money can buy
When in doubt, open the case. Remember: If you can't open it, you don't own it!

Prescribed APAP range - 6-10 cm/H2O, titrated at 8.
Current range - 9.0-11.5 cm/H2O - still searching for the magic "zero night" but averaging 2.2 AHI
