We just found out that we can not sell our Stim Unit. We bought it with no insurance help. What have other people done with there used units? We do not need it anymore. Does anyone know if I can even donate and where???

Why don't you check with your doctor to see if they have someone who can use it.....maybe they can pay you a little bit, or maybe you can donate it....what is the reason you cannot sell it? I am sure that someone can use it, and maybe if you sold it privately it wouldn't be a problem. It may have something to do with needing a prescription to buy one? GAYLE

Tony -
Why not just hold on to it. I know that Maia has done work with a couple of different kinds of e-stim and we go in and out of using them. Sometimes we take a year off, then something changes and we go back to it. We go through phases and one never knows what the future brings...

Because E-stim units require a doctor's prescription, they cannot be sold or even donated by individuals one to another. We have been advised that we must remove all such offers from our website or we would be legally liable.
I wish there was a way. We all appreciate your offer, Tony.

Really you should hold onto it. Frankie had one that we used from the time he was 6 months till he was 4 then we no longer needed it so I left it at at the therapist office she felt she could use it as a loaner while parents were waiting to get theres. Now 9 years later Frankie needs it again, we are hoping the insurance will cover it. Mare
