Why? They are free standing and just plug into the wall/drain/vent essentially.

If I have a $300 washing machine, or a $3000 washing machine, the potential buyer will offer the same price to me.

I took the $6k fridge out of my home I recently sold and replaced it with the $500 fridge that was in the new house I bought. In my mind I saved $5500 right there.
