Resmed Supposedly Has Re-instituted Their Minimum Internet Pricing Policy
Boy, I dunno. Resmed has been on a roll the last couple of years w/the advent of their S8 series of xPAPs. Resmed excels in ease of access to and amount of data available via the LCD screen and the Resmed devices have always been a quality product.
BUT - Resmed supposedly has re-instituted their Minimum internet pricing policy. I would guess in conjunction w/the release of their new S9 series of CPAP and APAP. (I doubt they are going to be in any rush to introduce an S9 bi-level since there is less demand for them and the VPAP Auto was introduced in Jan 08 and the VPAP Auto 25 in July 08.
This was posted on another forum by someone professing to be an online internet provider:
"... A direct questions was sent to Resmed asking," Can an internet company advertise the minimum price but sell at a lower price if not advertised on site." Response was, yes as long as they come to your office or call you". Well, that defeats the entire internet purpose. With that in mind, every avenue for us to provide you with affordable equipment from Resmed has been taken away. An example of the price difference would be this, Resmed Autoset II with heated humidifier would go from an average of 640.00 to a mandated price of 1092.00. NO DISCOUNTING ALLOWED. ..."

Actually, you guys have it pretty good with prices over there, here in Australia (where Resmed was invented!) back in Aug 2007 when I purchased my Resmed S8 Autoset spirit it cost me $1900.00, the humidifier 3i plus was $300.00 and the Mirage Quatro FF mask was $300.00, thats $2500 Au. ($2,250 US) for the total package. We have no medical assistance cost from the government either, so next time I want to upgrade I might get in touch with a US supplier, seems like it would cost me half the price!! It certainly looks like we have some price fixing going on here............ I replaced my Quatro face mask last week, $150 off ebay US instead of the $300 + my supplier here wanted and it was new unused in original packaging and free postage to my door! Why are they twice the price here, the top end of town again taking advantage of a monopoly I think
