This is apparently a standard "come on". We had the same package
offer. My boss went for it hook, line, and sinker,though I don't
know what he gave for them. The only tool we have used so far is
the power washer. All the tools are engine driven. The engine is
an indistinguishable copy of Honda, but I'm fairly sure it is made
in Chaiwan. The engine has performed well and the pump has done
what we asked of it.

I would worry about warranty, etc. If you are interested, I will
try to remember to write down the brand name. I looked them up on
the internet when we bought them, but there was very little
information on the site. The tools all have an 800 number written
on them to call for warranty and parts - NO EXPERIENCE.

A guy showed up at the shop door today with a pick-up load of new
equipment to sell. It probably wasn't a scam as the truck was
painted with the same logo/brand as the equipment. Anyway, the
story was that the items were left from the trade show and they
wanted to sell them rather than return them to the head office or
sit on them. Can't remember the exact brand but it was familiar
but not major label.

2 generators on rolling carts..didn't get the exact specs but
one was diesel and rated at 18 amps, 240 the other at 30 amps
240

1 gas powered air compressor. Twin "hot dog" tanks that
appeared to add up to about 15 gallons. I would guess it was
about 6 HP

1 pressure washer...probably about 6 horse

1 trash pump which I couldn't see well due to the amount of
shrink wrap.

All items were new and still in shrink wrap with warranties that
were also transferable.

book list was $18,000 which probably means that retail was about
$ 8000-$ 10000 (guess)

He wanted $ 4600 for the lot. I said all I could go was $ 2500
which he passed on. Didn't need it and didn't have time to try
and sell on e-bay.

What would you have done (and I know you can't see the stuff)?
One generator would have been nice but the rest was a little too
much to take on a whim.
