Everything You Need to Know About Our Weekly Thursday Auction
Buying and Selling in Our Online Auction
If you are familiar with our company at all you probably have seen something about our weekly Thursday auction! This is one of our favorite things to do, as it allows us to serve a wider range of buyers and sellers! In these auctions, we accept consignments from anyone looking to sell – as long as the items meet our selling requirements. We hold the auction out of both of our primary locations, Byron Center/Wayland and Ortonville, Michigan so that we can sell items to as many buyers as possible. The great thing about these auctions is that anyone can participate in them and find something that they would be interested in purchasing. While many of our other auctions are focused on a specific industry or type of equipment, our weekly auctions have a wide variety of goods to choose from. If you’re looking for cars, campers, boats, jewelry, kitchen appliances, clothing, household tools, storage containers, musical instruments, essential oils, home décor or office supplies this is the auction for you!
