Help with selling a zero hour CPAP machine

Post by dan.roz » Fri Mar 27, 2026 4:24 pm

I was diagnosed with minor sleep apnea a number of years back and I tried a CPAP machine for a while, but after losing a decent amount of weight, my doctor and I decided I didn't need it anymore. The machine I had was the Philips DreamStation CPAP that had the recall, so I sent it in and got a brand new DreamStation AutoCPAP in it's place. This new machine has genuinely never been used and has zero hours on it.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience trying to sell their CPAP machine and can help me figure out how to go about it. It's a perfectly good machine and I imagine someone can get some good use out of it. Would prefer to recoup at least some of what I spent for it as well. Any advice? Are there people on this forum looking for a zero hour machine?

user LSAT has sold many machines here. he'll be along shortly to give you some tips. the main tip that *I* can give you is take a photo of the display that shows zero run hours because interested buyers will want proof of that.

good luck!

Selling these can be tricky because most major marketplaces like eBay or Facebook block medical device listings. Your best bet is to look for private forums or specific second-hand sites that deal with sleep apnea gear. Zero hours is a huge selling point though.
