Appliances in a Flip; Specifically washer/dryer

My strategy for appliances in flips has been the following:  New stainless kitchen appliances throughout (range, fridge, dishwasher and sometimes microwave).  When laundry is on the main floor, include washer/dryer.  If laundry is in the basement, do not include washer/dryer.  On my current project (a mid-level suburban home), I have laundry in the unfinished basement which will be freshly painted (floor, walls and ceiling joists). I noticed a Black Friday sale for LG front-load washer/dryer combo in white for $1,100 + tax.  I'm of course tempted to include them in my flip to help maximize it's appeal.  The question is do you think I'll get it back in price and/or sale speed?

I have never put in washer/dryers in my flips mostly because people like to bring there own or there's a specific set they plan on getting. Sometimes if there's existing washer/dryers I leave them if they are in good shape. I really don't think a washer/dryer adds much value.
