The problem is that I moved countries in the meantime and here it's not quite so easy buying one on your own :(

You should have a look at your local craigslist alternative (like OLX in europe) or facebook marketplace. Lots of people sell their CPAP machines.

Yes that's an option but I don't really like using a used one for hygiene reasons.

It's annoying that they're so restricted here with all the medical red tape. They can't even go high enough to do actual damage. It's not like a respirator.

You can probably order one from the US if you still have your old Rx somewhere.

I didn't live in the US though (In fact I've never even visited it!)

Or do they take foreign prescriptions too?

I'm honestly not sure, they are super lax about checking Rx in general though, so maybe email them?
