I won the bid!~

Post by MichelleFL » Sat Nov 01, 2008 5:19 pm

Finally I will be the proud owner of 1 OptiLife Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear. Now I have my mask of choice, all I need is the machine. What a bargain for only 30 bucks! Thanks to the seller and cpapauction.com and the friends here. I am so glad I found this site!

Great news...yes, hope it is the only mask you ever need. Speaking of machine, I read that your insurance will pick up a large portion of the cost? How is it going with your machine?

Congratulations on winning!!!

I love a good auction!!! Nothing more exciting than winning at a great price!!!

Have you thought about running an ad for a machine on one of your local venues? I know in this area we have several sites where you can post a wanted to buy ad and have the sellers contact you. You can even post on craigslist for want to buy items. I have used it when I have needed stuff for my pool and since we live in a small community it gives me a broader base to "get the word out".

Hello Georgio. BCBS told me to go back to the DME for purchase only and see if it would go through. It's not a for sure thing but I will try it anyhow and see what the DME offers me.. But, I have to wait until Tuesday to do so as it's my day off from work. Your so nice to think of me!

I have become a shopaholic on that site -- I have gotton a mask, two machines, and replacement pillows all for less than $225.00.

Take Care

Do you watch craigslist?? I see machines on there occasionally. I saw a resmed S8 with humidifeir go for 200, lady said her husband was presvribed it and refused to use it so it was brand new and she only wanted part of their co-pay back. In retrospect, I should have bought it for a backup.

Oh I most certainly do watch that and cpapauction.com I want to be very careful and get a machine that is almost new but at my price... lol Sort of like finding a needle in a haystack but I will find it..
