What unit is costing $500? I had two Saunders units that I used in my office which were only $400 new (still have them in the garage after closing my office).

BTW, the over the door units are garbage. You need 15# just to unweight your head then traction starts from there. So by the time you are receiving effective traction, you have the unit up to 30# which is pretty damned uncomfortable going thru your jaw let alone being able to put that much water in the bag!!!
