Our Mission

About Crazy Good Auctions

At Crazy Good Auctions, our mission is simple: to help restaurants, bars, and other foodservice businesses seamlessly buy and sell high-quality equipment at unbeatable prices. Whether you’re turning excess inventory into cash or searching for the perfect commercial oven to grow your kitchen, we’re here to make the process secure, efficient, and—most of all—surprisingly profitable.

Our Story

Crazy Good Auctions was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, born from one simple observation: restaurants & foodservice operators often struggle to find a fair, hassle-free way to liquidate or acquire commercial equipment. Our founder (and longtime restaurant industry insider) saw firsthand how small business owners lost precious time & money dealing with outdated liquidation methods or overpriced equipment dealers. Determined to offer a better way, we launched our online auction platform to connect sellers who need quick, profitable sales with buyers hungry for real savings.

Starting Locally, Growing Nationally

We began by serving local Cleveland-area businesses, conducting both in-person and online auctions for everything from walk-in coolers to stylish dining room furniture. Word spread quickly: our straightforward process and “no sale, no fee” approach made us a trusted resource for owners ready to close, relocate, or simply upgrade their kitchens.

Today, Crazy Good Auctions facilitates online auctions nationwide, handling equipment from mom-and-pop cafés all the way to franchised restaurant groups—still fueled by our passion to deliver crazy good outcomes for our customers.

What Makes Us Different

Fast Liquidation & Cash Offers

Time is critical for many sellers—especially when a business is closing or relocating. That’s why we’ve pioneered a fast-turnaround auction format, often selling items within 7 days. For select inventories, we even offer direct cash purchases, so you have money in hand when you need it most.

Unbeatable Deals for Buyers

From lightly used fryers to premium espresso machines, our bidders score remarkable deals—often at a fraction of the retail cost. By connecting directly with sellers looking to move inventory, we cut out middleman markups and pass the savings along to you.

Transparent & User-Friendly

Online bidding shouldn’t be complicated. Our platform is designed for ease and clarity: straightforward fees, clear item descriptions, secure payments, and helpful reminders so you never miss a closing bid. Plus, our friendly customer support team is always ready to help.

Industry Expertise

Our team has over 20 years of combined experience in both the auction and restaurant industries. We understand the unique challenges restaurateurs face—whether you’re upgrading equipment or liquidating an entire space—and we use that knowledge to guide you every step of the way.

Community & Trust
