Hello. I stumbled across this post (and the site as a whole) while researching this machine and I really wanted to know what your experience has been like selling it. To make a long story short, a close family member of mine works for a company who, earlier this year, refreshed and upgraded much of their cleaning equipment and his boss pretty much gave away their lightly used Tornado Marathon 2000, just like the one you posted here. Ever since we got our hands on it I've been trying to sell it but have had zero luck so far... I've tried posting on other cleaning forums, listing it online, lowering the price (well below $2,000 btw), and even reaching out to pawn shops but no one has any use for it. I've considered contacting local companies that would realistically use something like this but feel like I'd be wasting their time and that's not what I want to do. How do you reach out to the right folks who are seeking such an expensive yet specific tool that can only be used by such a narrow margin of people/professionals? I hope this isn't an annoying question, I'm just trying to better understand how to sell this thing properly. Thanks man!
