Why use CookBid to find restaurant equipment auctions?

Buying used commercial kitchen equipment at auction is one of the most cost-effective ways to equip a restaurant, food truck, or catering business. New commercial fryers, reach-in refrigerators, and range ovens typically cost thousands of dollars; the same equipment sold through restaurant liquidations and auction houses often goes for 50–80% less than retail. CookBid aggregates live auctions from trusted US auction houses so you can compare prices, spot genuine deals, and bid with confidence — all from one search.

How the free tier works

The free plan gives you full search across all active restaurant equipment auctions, including deal scores that flag undervalued items, auction house information, and end times. Free users see listings from the most recent days. If you find an item you want to track over time — or you want alerts the moment a specific fryer, ice machine, or prep table appears — the Pro plan unlocks the full picture.

Who uses CookBid Pro?

Pro is built for restaurant owners opening or remodeling, food truck operators, kitchen equipment dealers, liquidation buyers, and anyone flipping used commercial kitchen equipment. The saved-search alerts mean you never miss a deal in your category or region — search once, and CookBid notifies you when matching restaurant equipment goes up for auction.

Enterprise & bulk buyers

If you buy equipment at volume — dealerships, hospitality groups, or resellers — the Enterprise plan provides CSV export and API access to auction data, so you can integrate restaurant equipment pricing and availability into your own systems and track multiple locations from one dashboard.

Our sources

CookBid monitors active restaurant equipment auctions from established US auction houses, including TAGeX Brands (Restaurant Equipment Brokers), Rasmus Auctions, PCI Auctions, and AuctionFactory. Every listing links directly to the auction house, where bidding and payment are handled securely.

Frequently asked questions

Is CookBid an auction house?

No. CookBid is an aggregator. We find and organize restaurant equipment auctions; you bid and pay directly with the auction house.

Do auction prices really save money?

Yes. Used commercial kitchen equipment routinely sells for 50–80% below retail at auction. Our deal scores help you spot the items priced well below their estimated value.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime, from your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. See our Terms & Conditions for details.

Do you charge a buyer's premium?

No. CookBid never charges a buyer's premium. The auction house may apply its own premium, which is always shown on the original listing.

What equipment can I find?

Commercial kitchen and food service equipment: fryers, ovens, ranges, grills, refrigerators, freezers, prep tables, ice machines, dishwashers, mixers, and much more — from cafés, restaurants, catering kitchens, and food trucks.
