ORLANDO, FLa. – Interested in purchasing the table where you got engaged in 2005 or the lobster tank you stared at in horror as a child? Well, you’d better open your wallet.

An internet auction company announced on Monday “The Largest Restaurant Equipment Auction Ever” just hours after Florida-based seafood chain Red Lobster closed locations across Central Florida and the country.

“WINNER TAKES ALL – meaning, each winner will receive the ENTIRE contents of the Red Lobster location they bid on,” the listing reads in part.

According to the auction listing, they are auctioning off the contents of more than 50 locations across the country.

News 6 confirmed that several Central Florida locations had closed on Monday. According to the restaurant’s website, locations were closed in Altamonte Springs, Daytona Beach Shores, Leesburg, Sanford, the Vine Street location in Kissimmee, and three of the Orlando locations (on East Colonial Drive by Orlando Executive Airport, on West Colonial Drive near Hiawassee Road, and off Sand Lake Road near Florida Mall).
