Will someone else sneak in at the last minute and outbid me?), especially when it's something I really want. But it's a good option to have. I'll check it out. So thanks again.
My VIRGIN bid on ANY online auction anywhere was for a machine on CPAPAuction. I shook in my shoes until the email came that I'd gotten it... then shook in my shoes until it arrived.

Now I'm reading manuals and figuring out how to set it up. It's going to be my back-up / emergency machine. (My mom has been ill, and I sometimes have to drop everything to spend the night at the hospital with her: one night propped up in an easy chair was quite enough to convince me I needed a back-up machine!)

I can tell you that the one my insurance got for me has changed my life incredibly in the last five months!

I sure hope I can say the same in the not-too-distant future! Onward and upward!
