Hello, tell me please (because i did not understand exactly), it is a CPAP or an Auto CPAP ?

OP says it's an S9 Autoset and I believe it but it's hard to confirm by looking at the Photobucket pictures. Prospective buyers will want to see a photo showing "S9 Autoset" by the On/Off button on the machine, as well as photos of the display screens showing both User Hours and Total Run Hours.

I keep thinking about what you said here and wondering if you're giving up again too soon. A couple more hours trying two different pressures just doesn't seem like enough to conclude that there's nothing that would help with the problem. If you've already decided to sell for sure, then no need to keep a dialogue going, but if you're still on the fence we can help you troubleshoot. (For example, are you using a nasal or full face mask that is overtightened and causing/contributing to your headache? Did your doc suggest any temporary meds to help you in the early days of getting used to the feel of the pressure? Do you use the longest Ramp time possible to help you fall asleep? Last night did you try 8, get a headache, and then try 4 after that? If so what about starting the night at 4 or 5 instead so you aren't trying the low pressure immediately after the 8 cm headache?)

Whatever you decide, best wishes.

Tried it on 8 then went down to 4 cm after the pressure woke me up. Don't believe it's my mask. It's a full mask and it feels comfortable around my face. I believe it was tight at one point but I loosened it months ago.

Anyway, I do believe I am set on selling it. Could use the $ to spend on other medical issues I really need fixed.

My oxygen issues might be mostly resolved after my deviated septum was fixed- my lungs definitely felt the change and I know I've got at least 70% more energy than I did prior to the surgery. I think my main issue now as to why I'm not feeling 100% energized is I can never get my mind to shut up XD I'm still experimenting with sleep aids for that though.

Anyhow, guess I shall take some pictures of the display and the amount of used hours

EDIT:

Your headaches could be due to humidity, not pressure. Too much or too little humidity give me a wicked sinus headache. It might be worth experimenting with that, too.

Thanks, but I experimented with the humidity level a lot before. Didn't change my problem really.

Anyway, filled out the form on secondwind again with the updated hours. Would they really take $100 off the offer just for 2 extra hours on the machine? There was just 24-30 hours in between the first form I filled out and the 2nd.

Think I'm going to try selling to an individual instead...

$100 less because of 2 hours...I doubt it. More likely supply and demand and how bad they want it or who made the offer.
Maybe a different person.

Sell it to an individual...it will help a person in need. Secondwind buys wholesale and sells retail...a lot of people can't afford retail even at their reduced retail.
