FS: UNUSED RESMED S8 AUTOSET VANTAGE, HUMIDAIRE, MASK = $300

Post by atwnsw » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:38 pm

Hi there,

I am selling an unused CPAP machine that has been sitting in my closet. The doctor wrote a script for one
and I never used it. I have taken multiple photos of the unit and accessories. Everything you see in the photos is included. I should note that the mask
is an Ultra Mirage II and also has never been used.

NEW LOWERED PRICE: I am asking $300 +$20 S/H

It has been in a non-smoking home. I will ship it Fedex Ground insured to continental US only.

Since I am new to this board I can provide references to make you comfortable that I am legit.

Please PM if you have any questions.

Thanks

Anthony

Here are links to the actual photos. For some reason I think the file size is too large for cpaptalk and it is cutting off the end.

At $500.00.......you're hallucinating. That's about a $150.00 setup there. The Vantage came out around 2005 or 2006 and the Autoset II (the next newest model) came out in about 2007 or 2008. So, you're trying to sell a machine that's about seven or eight years old for what new (current) ones sell for........and the new ones are much better than the technology in those old ones. The algorithms in those old ResMed Autos wouldn't pursue apnea events above the pressure of 10 cm. That's why they called it the A10 algorithm. So, they actually functioned better in CPAP (single-pressure) mode.......so, why the heck have one of those APAPs if they aren't any better than a CPAP.

Another problem with them is that the data cards are no longer obtainable and if a person can even find any, the card readers are about as scarce as hen's teeth.

Good luck.

He appears to have a data card in one of the photos. The readers pop up on ebay for upwards of $50 from time to time. It's too bad, a brand new machine like that sitting in a closet for 7-8 years.

If he drops his price, he'll find a buyer and it could be a good machine for someone who just needs straight cpap and doesn't have insurance.

I got it in 2008. As far as the value, I listed it on ebay but learned about their policies on medical equipment and the listing was terminated.

May I ask what is a fair value for this unit?

Secondwindcpap.com has one for $299. You could try for that but in a private sale you might sell more quickly if you go lower. Good luck.

The photos also show that the humidifier is the older H3i.

I believe that the kit to upgrade it to the better-performing H4i are still available online (but not at cpap.com) for about $35.

-correction-

cpap.com does have the H3i to H4i conversion kit. It sells for $36.

Based on the feedback I dropped the price to $300 + 20 S/H.

I welcome all reasonable offers.

Thanks
