Does anyone have any ideas of how to get a good price for used restaurant equipment. I purchased a operating restaurant for the great location and moved my restaurant to its location about 3 months ago. I now have doubles of some equipment as well as a pizza oven that I have not been able to sell so far. I can off it to a wholesaler for a low price but would prefer not to do that. Any ideas anyone?

I've had good luck with Craigslist here in austin, if your city has one I would suggest trying it. It will be abit more work then the wholesalers but I would think the price would be better. Another option that you could consider instead of the wholesalers is donating your equipment to your local charities, usually they would be happy to pick up good used equipment and give you a tax write off.
