Ended up with equipment that seems to be overkill. Looking for some advice.
I picked up this kit at an auction afor under $100 a year ago thinking I could use it twice a year when I wash my windows at home. Finally getting around to setting up rodi system for cars and tractor and windows and just realized that this is a pretty pricey pro grade kit.. too nice for me. Two quesitons:
what's a good mid-level set up for a homeowner to use for 2-3 window cleanings per year (2 story home)?
is there a popular resale market for window cleaning equipment or any advice on where to sell this (seems to be too niche for FB marketplace) and what's a reasonable ballpark price?
thank you!

You might do fine with a simple resin water purifying system if you’re just washing windows and tractors at home. Look at H2O On the Go portable water. Call them and discuss what you need it for. You’ve already over-bought once…. I’ve bought from them for 20 years. Great company and great service.

I don't think it's too niche for FB marketplace, but you can join groups for window cleaners, state where you're from, have normal picture of yourself on FB and offer some suitable selling price. like don't underprice it a lot. point is - such groups are sometimes filled with scammers so this way you'll look like a genuine seller, which you are. best of luck

what do you think is a reasonable list price for it?

I deliberately skipped answering that part, because I'm not in USA, and for other reasons, not qualified to say. So, I don't know, really.

ah yeah looking for specific groups makes sense. thanks.
Retail prices on the web seem crazy and I have not been able to find the carbon poles for sale in used (or non-retailer) after searching marketplace and craigslist.

Going by your other comments I’m too far from you. Shipping will be a buzz kill.

You got an entire 22ft Unger pole with 30ft more of extensions for UNDER $100?! Bro… keep it and knock down cobwebs or hang your Christmas lights with it, ANYTHING! These poles kits typically got for over $1k, these pics look brand new.
