I could use some advice from people who know this industry better than I do.

A while back, I purchased an established cosmetic tattoo business from a family friend who had been in business for 20+ years and was very successful. I went into it with high hopes and every intention of building on what she created, but after giving it a real shot, I’ve realized this industry just isn’t the right fit for me. I'm in Washington near Seattle.

Now I have an entire business worth of cosmetic tattoo and esthetician equipment that I need to start selling, and I’m honestly a little out of my depth. This includes things like PMU/tattoo machines, pigments/inks, sanitation supplies, disposable coverings, esthetician equipment, furniture, and lots of miscellaneous studio essentials. Ideally, I’d love to sell as much as possible in bundles or as a turnkey package, similar to how I purchased it. The family friend I bought it off of is elderly and her pricing and resources are antiquated.

Where do professionals typically buy/sell used PMU or esthetic equipment? How should I price items? Are there reputable resale sites, Facebook groups, forums, or marketplaces I should focus on? And are there places or methods I should avoid?

Any and all inputs and suggestions are so valuable to me through this process.
