How Do I sell my Brand New cpap machine?

 Okay, so since I had surgery I don't need my machine. I've priced it out, it's worth about $2500.00 with everything included. I literally used it for 2 months and then not very much. I only got it so the surgeon would be happy that I was compliant with my supposed sleep apnea diagnosis but I don't need it any longer and haven't used it since the day before my surgery. It's brand new, top of the line. It's ResMed S9 AutoSet Elite Escape Auto Escape H5i with heated humidifier and a little device to report to your doctor. How the heck do I sell this? Does anyone need one? I could use the money - but I"m sure I couldn't get what I paid for it. If I could get $1,500.00 I'd be very happy. 
Here's a link to the machine I have:  http://www.thecpappeople.com/products/resmed-s9-vpap-auto-h5 i-heated-humidifier__36016.aspx 


Any Ideas?? Thanks!!

Used CPAPs are not easy to sale. It would definitely not be worth that amount. The Elite Escape is the one that only logs usage data and does not provide treatment data such as AHI, Leaks, Flow rate, etc. It sales for around $700 with the humidifier. Many DME's try to push this one, since they get paid a standard rate from most insurance companies, and it is $200 cheaper than the Elite (non-escape).

One can purchase the higher model (non-escape) buddle with Humidifier and Climate control Line for about $850 brand new here:

Of concern though, is when you say you don't need it anymore. Have you done a follow-up sleep study? I too was diagnosed as part of the bariatric process. My AHI was 28, and with the machine it is now less than one. You would not be able to see this with the Escape model though. Like all things, I finally had to accept that I had sleep apnea and that the machine really is doing its job, and it is very necessary. Sleep Apnea is a co-morbidity after all. It took about 3 different masks to find the one that let me sleep a full night on the machine, and if you find that right combination, it will make a world of difference.

Good Luck.

S A is serious . It cuases many maladies includeing A fib. I was fortunate to catch and cure that after it popped up twofold. 25 yrs on cpap. Long before obesity. Have a sleep study b4 up stop therapy

I second the above--SLEEP APNEA IS SERIOUS.   It can cause serious, permanent and incurable heart damage like congestive heart failure, stroke, liver damage and other problems.  If you have underlying but undiagnosed heart trouble, apnea can trigger a sudden cardiac event like a heart attack.  I learned this the hard way and have permanent heart damage.

Be smart! Get  tested and and get clearance from your doctor before you stop using the machine!

If you received the machine from your insurance company, most likely  you do not own it and therefore cannot sell the machine. My insurer rents the machine from a supplier on my behalf for the first year, then if longer term CPAP is necessary, they  buy the machine for me.  When my insurer changed suppliers, I had to return the machine to the old supplier as soon as I received the machine from the new supplier---or pay full price out of pocket.

My husband had a CPAP machine before his RNY. After surgery and a sleep test confirmed, he no longer needed the machine.Yeahhh for him. We donated the machine to our local hospital and got a substantial tax receipt.  Good for the hospital and good for us. I'm only 3 weeks post RNY and still need machine pending another sleep test. I can hardly wait to donate another machine. Something to consider instead of selling.
