I've found stuff on eBay that could not be found elsewhere. OTOH, one
medical supply that I buy is considerably more than Amazon.
Couple of times a year I buy a Respironics filter. Amazon is 8.95 but
eBay is from $8 to $14 from various sellers. You have to look through
a lot of stuff to find the good deals.
