You'd be surprised. Some of that restaurant equipment is in high demand, and is also pretty pricey. Anything pro grade can be tens of thousands of dollars each.

Just some of those espresso machines are $10K [1] and $25K [2] each.

Freezer is $24K.

Of course, all these are "new" prices.

For used auctions (for things with demand) figure about 75-25% new prices.

If there is a glut, sometimes you’d end up with just price per lb. (Often just a couple dollars per).

About 10-20% below local used prices is what I’ve seen though sometimes they go above (bidding frenzy?).

Who is opening a restaurant right now with labor costs and borrowing costs where they are?
