unless this is something like what happened when Resmed pulled their equipment out of cpapauction... that the site had to be closed until such time as they could exclude that equipment

Second Hand prices for the most part won't motivate me - I'd just spend a bit more and buy new.
And darn! I was 13 minutes away from bidding on an ending auction for an Icon Auto.
I imagine somebody will eventually fill the niche if CPAPAuction is down for good.

I'll bet it is the guv'ment's response to the B&M DME providers lobby. Wall Street and big business are confident that Americans no long have the tummy for another revolution and civil war. The time may come when these Militias might not seem so radical and extreme! We can't do it thru the elective process because no one w/any integrity, honesty and intelligence would be stupid enough to want to be a part of this government anymore. We've had nothing but the lesser of two evils to vote for for decades now.

Yep, a sad day indeed! Purchased much at the cpapauction over the years, great place to get deals on masks, machines and other CPAP stuff. Sold there, too! I, too, am so curious, wondering why the site shut down so suddenly, with no notice, no explanation. Maybe Johnny will let us know, if he can.

Haven't used it in a while, but it was helpful in the past. This sucks.

No, Ebay does not permit CPAP Machines for sale on their site. You can sell Mask Parts to get around the perscrption needed clause. But the sale of machines or whole masks is prohibited and they will remove the auctions as soon as they find them.
I suspect, (Just a guess) That the removal of the autction site does not come about because Johhny does not want to do it, but because some one (maybe manfacture, but I suspect someone instead) found a legal loophole to go after CPAPAUCTION. And they sent out a legal stop what you are doing now, or there will be legal troubles letter.
Just my guess mind you. However, if that is the case those responsible would probbly target any entities that try to start up their own auction site.
Truth is that with nothing further than "we are shut down" it almost sounds like a settlement with a manufacturer reached with a non-disclosure clause so that it cannot be spoken about. Whatever the case, it will be missed.

Or the government or a XPAP builder has him strapped to a chair, and is beating the crap out of him, or waiting for the mind control drugs to take effect. I knew the XPAP Police were getting geared up, but I didn't think the raids would begin until the elections were closer, but then it does take time to put up the wire cages and build the gas chambers.

I just checked out Cpapauction.com, and there is still no announcement there of the closing. In fact, all the information on how to buy and sell is still there, just no listings. Strange.

I can only assume that the reason Johnny and Caroline haven't chimed in yet is that they are still working to make sure this mess is not permanent.
Thank you, guys--we know you are working for US.

The number of mask purchases i have made on cpapauction.com in my quest to find the one.
i don't recall ever spending over $50 on a single mask.
cpapauction.com made monkeying around with masks so much more affordable
it was one of the key factors for me in dialing in my therapy.

Yes, the auction served as my mask hunting ground as well! Oh, we'll miss it!

7+ for me when it comes to masks... I was not a big user of the site when it came to machines (1 back-up), but for the trial and error of finding the right masks.... well number 14 is the winner and most of the preceding came from CPAP auction.
Thank you Johnny

Well, if there's a market, someone will fill it. Wasn't Cpapauction affiliated with Cpap.com? Given the loud silence as to why the site closed, I still say something smells fishy.
