Should I put appliances into an empty kitchen before selling?

I bought a discounted off-market home that needed some fresh carpet and paint before reselling. The quick flip will be done in about 2 weeks. The previous owners took their kitchen appliances (Fridge, stove-top range, and dishwasher) with them. Should I buy new appliances and have them installed prior to listing the home? Will the house sell quicker with appliances? 

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood outside of Pittsburgh. House will be listed for $70k.

FHA buyers would require the house to be livable upon the sale date...which means at least a stove to cook food. So you may ultimately end up stocking the kitchen with appliances anyway.
