Guide to buying and selling catering equipment

How to buy or sell catering equipment

We sell commercial catering equipment on behalf of a range of businesses, whether it may be as part of a liquidation sale, or disposing of surplus stock. If you are seeking to make an investment in restaurant or catering equipment, buying by auction presents significant cost benefits compared to purchasing at retail prices.

What is the auction process?

In order to bid, you must first set up an account through registering here. Then, you can save auction slots which may be of interest. We host our auctions online, which makes it easier for bidders to join from across the nation, and on an international scale. Our online auction process provides a fast and effective sale method with quick turnaround times for sellers, and a low-cost option for buyers. 

How to sell catering equipment

If you would like to sell your catering equipment, contact our team to discuss the sale process and how we can assist through the auction stages. First, one of our expert auctioneers will provide an accurate valuation of your equipment for an estimated guide price. As members of RICS, we conduct our valuations in accordance with the highest professional standards to ensure transparency. Then, we will market your equipment to target buyers for the auction, and oversee the sale transaction for a smooth process. 

Selling sustainably

In choosing to sell your restaurant equipment through auction, and giving it a new lease of life for the next buyer to use in their business, you can contribute to the circular economy. This promotes sustainability through the reuse of equipment which would have ended its lifecycle and gone to waste. Not only can selling by auction provide cost benefits, but also encourage sustainable use of equipment within the food industry to reduce unnecessary waste.
