Amazon can sell full xpap machines and masks now?

Was just looking for parts and was shocked to see full machines and masks for sale. I thought you needed a script but according to an answer a seller left for someone else you only need the script to set the pressure. Seriously???
Morbius, are you bored?

Hmmm. I didn't know that. Seems strange to me. But I am not the smartest person in the world. Hell for that matter not even the smartest on this forum at all.

Be careful if you order from Amazon. It's not obvious if you're actually purchasing from Amazon, or if you're purchasing from a third-party seller on the Amazon Marketplace. To add to the confusion, some but not all of their third-party sellers store their inventory in Amazon's warehouses.

Amazon itself doesn't sell CPAP masks and machines. However, some of the sellers on the Amazon Marketplace do sell them although it's not allowed.

As always, when buying from unknown companies or individuals;
BUYER BEWARE.

I remember awhile ago CPAP machines were popping up on Ebay and members would let us know... soon the listing would disappear, probably the same thing will happen on Amazon. I guess they slip thru the cracks somehow. EDIT: I just checked Ebay and there are some supplies but I couldn't find any machines.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Cpap machines are not allowed to be sold on Amazon according to their prohibited items list:
