Estimate first
Calculator ranges are generated before shopping links are shown. Affiliate status, ad placement, or provider availability does not raise or lower a value estimate.
FTC disclosure
Ads and shopping links are separate from value estimates
Restaurant Equipment Value Checker may earn money from display ads or qualifying purchases made through shopping comparison links. Compensation helps support the site, but it does not change calculator math, category guidance, or sale-channel payout ranges.
Shopping links
Some comparison links may use affiliate tracking for marketplaces, parts sellers, or equipment suppliers. Links are comparisons, not appraisals or endorsements.
Display ads
Content pages and result sections may include display advertising. Ads are separate from valuation logic and are not buying, tax, legal, or repair advice.
How comparison links are chosen
Rule 1
Comparable listing links use equipment category, brand, model terms, and likely buyer intent.
Rule 2
Replacement or parts links are repair-versus-sell references, not proof of resale value.
Rule 3
When affiliate IDs are not configured, the site can fall back to ordinary search links while keeping the same disclosure language.
