The Medical Equipment Markup
High-end electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters (like those from Permobil or Pride) cost thousands of dollars out of pocket if insurance denies coverage. However, families frequently sell these expensive units on local classifieds for a fraction of the cost when they are no longer needed.
Filtering the Listings
You need specific features like tilt-in-space or specific joystick controls, not just a standard scooter.
- Brand Sniping: Monitor specifically for complex rehab technology brands, ignoring cheap travel scooters.
- Battery Status: Filter the description to ensure the seller mentions the batteries hold a charge, as replacements are expensive.
