LittleWins is a peer-to-peer marketplace web application that facilitates the exchange of durable medical equipment by connecting people through public listings across the country.
Do you need insurance to use LittleWins?
Not at all! In fact, we exist to help the families and individuals who were denied their insurance coverage for durable medical equipment. Some equipment that is normally thousands, could be available on LittleWins for just hundreds or less. It is an open marketplace.
Do you inspect your equipment?
Currently, we do not inspect each piece of equipment exchanged using our website. We do require users to mark the condition of the listing prior to posting it.
However, it is ultimately up to the buyer to determine its condition, as all exchanges take place off line.
