In an exciting turn of events, RestaurantEquipment.Bid is organizing a major auction that features a staggering collection of over
600 pieces of restaurant equipment from The Market Line, a beloved food hall located in Manhattan's
Lower East Side. After its closure in early 2024, this auction presents a rare opportunity for food service professionals to acquire high-quality, gently used equipment from some of New York City's most esteemed vendors.
Auction Overview
The auction will take place online through RestaurantEquipment.Bid, the largest marketplace dedicated to pre-owned restaurant equipment. The platform allows bidders an accessible chance to purchase premium items well below normal market prices. According to Claire Robinson, a renowned chef and Food Network star, this auction signifies not just an economic opportunity but also an environmentally responsible choice, as it promotes sustainability through the reuse of quality kitchen equipment.
