Please be aware, all my trade is in non ladder d2r. Not warlock.

Yes.

-Res does work on all Necromancer, Warlock and Druid summons as well as

Shadow Warrior,

Shadow Master or

Valkyrie.

Assassins traps also do count as minions.

Same is for the effect of a Sunder charm.

BUT: -Res/Sunder do NOT work for your merc!

For low items I also accept: Perfect Amys,

Ral,

Hel, Tokens, Keys. Please don't offer runes lower than

Pul (with the named exceptions).

My "Resurrected" trades can be converted to RotW! Just message me.

@DasNarf are you sure?
According to maxroll it doesn't work for minions:

-xx% Enemy Resistance
Items with -xx% Enemy Resistance (i.e. Rainbow Facet) only applies to monsters which are not Immune, or whose Immunity is considered broken by other sources. The final Resistance reduction is the summation of all sources equipped to the character. This Resistance reduction does not apply to damage dealt by Character summons, with the sole exception of
Hydra. -xx% Enemy Resistance cannot break any Immunities, regardless of the total value.

It does work for traps since patch 2.6:

Assassin
The Assassin's trap skills now benefit from -% to Enemy Resistance.

Honestly can't remember if it got added/worked for 'pet summons' but maxroll is simply dated/incorrect as usual, seeing how that paragraph is proven wrong by traps alone already.

MarcoBioBoi from Maxroll says it doesn't work for

Tainted in the following video (at 5m 3s - 5m 14s):

GingerGamingMentor says the same in this video here (55m 50s - 55m 58s):

So at least for

Summon Tainted -enemy fire resistance doesn't work. But that could also be a warlock bug blizzard didn't fix yet so still not sure about other summons.
