Following a death
I'm sorry if this is not an appropriate topic for this forum but my husband, who had MS, and was receiving emails from this site, has recently and suddenly died (not MS related).
He had purchased an expensive Motomed machine and a RehaMove Functional Electrical Stimulation box to help with his mobility. It is only 6 months old and I wondered if there are organisations or specialist sites where I can advertise it as being for sale.
Hi,
!
First off, I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. I do hope you have plenty of support as you weather this unexpected change.
Secondly, I think it's great that you are wanting to make sure things he purchased can get used by others in need. If you are comfortable with a space like Facebook Marketplace, you can try posting a listing there. It's not without its flaws, but I use Facebook Marketplace more than any other app or site. Also, you can sell items through Nextdoor, which is a site/app focused on your specific area, so it would be a good way to sell the device locally. Also, you can try Ebay. This is a site dedicated to selling new/used medical equipment -- https://bimedis.com/. I am not personally endorsing the site, but it may be a good place to check out. Also, selling can be a real pain and take a good chunk of your time, but it may be worth the effort to recoup some of the cost of the equipment. And here is another site that focuses on selling medical equipment -- https://www.dotmed.com/. As always, please be safe when selling online. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for these ideas. I will investigate all of them.
I do have support. People are so kind but nothing comes close to compensating when you lose partner and best friend in one go.
Thank you again
Fiona, I am sure no one truly gets that kind of loss unless they have experienced. I have not, but please know my thoughts and support go out to you. I wish I had magic, helpful words, but sometimes, there just *aren't* words for the really big things that happen to us.
Please know you are welcome here anytime, as someone who has been impacted by MS. But, I understand if you don't feel the need to visit here often.
Best, Erin, Team Member.
