I was called by a friend of mine who was at a job sight with the same offer.
The seller was asking $7000. He wanted me to come down and work a deal. Not
something I wanted to do.

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.
