I ordered some hotel pans from ebay. I could have gotten them cheaper from Restaurant Equippers in Ohio, better quality, too. They also offer some used equipment. I like to see appliances, etc. before I buy. Restaurant Equippers has a website you can request a catalog from. They were very pleasant to deal with, I liked the quality of the merchandise I bought from them(we bought new smallwares), and they shipped promptly.
I keep looking for restaurant equipment auctions and haven't seen any in the paper. One source here is the school board. They sell excess equipment in Jacksonville, FL from the school cafeterias every once in awhile. It might be worthwhile checking into that, or maybe hotel chains in your area.
