How much would you expect to pay for a used restaurant quality pizza oven? Where would you look for such a thing?

Buncha listings on Craig's List. Prices seem to vary hugely, as it appears "pizza oven" covers a very broad range of equipment.

Searching by title narrows it down a lot, you might try contacting the guy who had to give one away by last weekend.

contact a local restaurant supply shop. they take trades on new equipment & are the best source for used professional equipment.

I know it is off-topic, but there is another option if you have the space. [lifehacker link]

The term "pizza oven" can mean a couple things: a colossal, car-sized monstrosity with a conveyor belt and ovens or what's often called a "deck oven," which has a long rectangular door that pulls down, allowing you slide the pizzas in, then pull out with a peel. If you're thinking of the former, I've seen 'em go for $500 at auctions. Those things are a pain to move and they take up a lot of space.

Deck ovens do too, but generally cost a little more. Check your restaurant supply store. If I had to guess I'd say about $1200 for one of those at a store, used. We bought two at an auction for $500 but couldn't use 'em. A restaurant supply store bought them from us for $300. Your mileage may vary.
