Whether you are starting out as a new restaurant owner or you need to replace your eatery’s outdated equipment, purchasing used inventory at an auction can be a wise decision that can potentially save you thousands of dollars.
Commercial restaurant equipment auctions are the best sources of purchasing used furnishings. Normally high-priced items such as stoves, reach-in refrigerators and freezers, compressors, dishwashers, and even tables and chairs can be found at a deep discount at auction houses. While buying these items new will supply you with a warranty, new kitchen equipment seldom breaks and repairs may cost the same in the long run either way. As a result, it is smarter to buy these same items used at a discount from an auction house.
When bidding on smaller items, you may consider used dishes, glassware, and silverware that would be appropriate for your restaurant’s decor. Bidding on these small items in bulk will also save you a substantial amount money.
Before the auction, make an attempt to find out more about the equipment that you plan on bidding on. For example, find out how old the items are and if they were they originally purchased new or used. On the day of the auction, get there early so that you can closely examine the selection of items up for bids. Plan on spending some time at the auction location since the bigger items may go up for bids last.
