Where to buy a cheap Quattro FX?

[Paul Van Dyk]

Hi. I'm looking to buy a cheap Quattro FX. I need to buy one without a prescription. I looked on secondwindcpap and it's $185!!! That's expensive for me. Where else might I look? Can I get everything I need on Ebay without having to screw around with buying it in different pieces? Thanks.

Might anyone have one to sell me that isn't worn out?

Lastly, are there different parts to it that come in different sizes?

Thanks!

You'll find some new ones at cheaper prices on AllofCraigs.com.

Agree, AllofCraigs.com has new ones for $125. The mask comes in different sizes and also has 3 different size headgear as well (S,M,L). CPAP.com has some fitting/sizing guides and information. If you buy on Ebay, you have to buy parts, they can't sell complete masks on Ebay without a prescription. You can find most of the components on Ebay although the plastic mask portion doesn't show up very often. I'm doing a one week trial right now with the Quattro FX from CPAP Library. It's a pretty good mask but I don't know if I want to switch from my Resmed Liberty hybrid mask or not.

Ok thanks. I'm switching from my Liberty hybrid. I'm just gonna try something else. Haven't been all that impressed with it.

So what is allofcraigslist? I did a search and all it seems like it did was bring up a google results page with craigslist ads from other cities. What good does that do me? Do craigslist people send stuff from out of state now like ebay?

Can't help on the mask itself, but once you have it, if the cushion wears out or goes soft on you and the rest of the mask and headgear is still in good condition you can replace just the cushion for $54, saving you from having to buy the whole thing over again. http://www.directhomemedical.com/resmed ... -mask.html

You might want to check out the CPAP Library 1-week trial program. It allows you to try out any mask that they have in inventory for 1 week for only $14 fee to cover shipping and handling. I just finished my trial with the Quattro FX size medium and am thinking of possibly purchasing one. It's a good mask although I did have one evening that for some reason I couldn't get a good seal at the top of the mask and ended up switching back to my Liberty mask in the middle of the night. Except for that one night though, I got some really good results. I just put in a new trial request with CPAP Library for a Quattro FX in size large so I can determine which size fits me the best.

I just heard about AllofCraigs.com recently and it does appear that it's kind of like a Craigslist search engine of some sort. I live in The DFW area of TX though and the guy that is advertising new masks at discounted prices happens to be in Dallas. Good luck!

If you have experience purchasing on eBay, you can find new replacement face cushions for a Quattro FX for about half that price.

So can I do this without a prescription? As my original post states, I'm not going that route. Thanks.

The CPAP Library trial program does not require a prescription. It is more of a CPAP educational site and they offer the mask trial program for you to try out different models of masks without having to buy them. They do not sell masks however.

Finding a mask that is priced right takes some effort, just get on the internet and look. About the only place you don't need an Rx is craigslist. Every DME will need one. The cpap library masks cost you $14 for shipping and you get to keep it for a week then must return it.
