I got nothing against someone getting a good deal and re-selling for a higher price if they can but the way you are going about it is all wrong.

You can find brand new 16’ tandem trailers for $4k-$5k. Figure another $6k for the washer. Another $1k for the hose reels and tanks. Those are new prices. You might get $10k for it but probably a little less. There’s not a large market for a pressure washer setup. I’d personally prefer to spend a few grand more and buy all new though.

That is of course, only your opinion. What do you see that is wrong?
Can you provide a link to this 6k hot water unit?
Here you go. I’m sure there are some even cheaper but I found this one with a quick search.

I’m not giving you any tips as I don’t like the cut of your jib - just my personal opinion though…

I’m not even involved in this, but here goes. You came here asking for advice, you got it, you bought it and got a great deal. Now you are trying to sell it to the same people who helped you and make a tidy profit off of them. You might be able to sell that setup for 10-12k on Facebook, but you won’t here because everyone knows what you paid, and no one wants to be taken for a ride, especially after giving you solid advice. If I was trying to sell you a used car for 10k, but upfront I told you I only paid 6k, would you want to buy it?

Well yes I would, if it was worth it and matched my needs. And I’d congratulate you on a 4K profit. Everything you’ve ever bought, someone else has made a profit on. You should know this by now. It’s not personal. It’s business. My profit margin has nothing to do with whether or not this rig fits your needs and is worth the asking price. Now, Whether or not 13k is too high…maybe. But that’s just a number I though looked fair. Looks like I need to come down, especially after seeing a hot water rig listed above for 6k ish.
Not quite the same caliber as the one I have but I get your point. Didn’t know they made ‘em that cheap!
If you can’t explain yourself then why bother tossing your opinion out there?
I have no idea what would move you to talk to someone like that. Relax, it’s just pressure washing.
Well some better manners and some business/sales sense would be a good place to start.
Satch broke it down a bit for you and it appears you’re not snacking on what he’s packing.

The bit about the used car? Not much more I can say about that. Mountain Dew cost a few nickels to make and they sell it for $2. Are you saying that because you know they are making a tidy profit off you that you now won’t buy Mountain Dew? Naw man, you’re going to buy it. And you should because it’s delicious. 
Same principle here. 13k is probably high! But I had to start somewhere. But you telling me I’m wrong and being called a D bag hardly seem like good ways to teach a brother. I can take correction. I can’t take being devalued as a human being.
Listen dude im not calling you one your acting like one , your pictures suck, its a 3000 psi not a 3500 psi , trailers wrapped we don’t know what the gvw is , you didn’t give a decent tour when asked and you obviously haven’t one clue as to what your talking about and need alot of schooling of the mechanics of PW. Id suggest you take your junk and pedel it on FB because you’ve pretty much have lost all credibility here from everyone thus far. And for what its worth go do your homework and take a bunch of pics and get a game plan, or take it to a PW shop and break even or a small loss. Either way I really don’t think anyone cares at the moment or is even thinking of buying anything off you.

So in other words, you already thought it was at least a fair deal, if not a good deal at $8k and you come on here for confirmation. Then in the same breadth you say you got for $6k.
Then you try to sell a wrapped trailer for $3500. The wrap hurts the price because whoever buys it will have to remove it or have another put on and on a trailer that size it easily a $2500 expense.
I offer you a 25% profit for one day, can’t even make that on bitcoin, and you make a smart ■■■ comment.
And now you’re here wanting $13k for it, when 3 days ago you were either lying or pretending you didn’t know if the same setup was worth $8k.
It’s not that you’re trying to make some profit, that’s fine, it’s your approach that needs some work.
And don’t be trying to gouge the same guys that were trying to help you out originally.
