m37auctionCALEDONIA, Mich. (April 15, 2014) — Sure, there are websites like eBay and Craigslist that allow you to hunt for gently loved treasures from your home, but one is based right out of West Michigan and they get the neatest stuff!

Have you ever heard of M37Auction.com? It’s a family owned and operated business right in Caledonia. It’s deemed an “on-line consignment auction business”, that prides itself on great customer service for buyers and sellers. They are great about keeping buyers and sellers up to date right on their Facebook page.

What will you find? It might be easier to answer what you won’t find! They have everything from toys and toasters, to vintage style tables, bars, pet items, motorcycles, trailers, lamps, purses and beyond.

To bid on items, you go to http://www.m37auction.com and create a free account, but you must have a credit card on file with them. Then there is a list of items that you can scroll through by category or even the latest that were added into the mix. You don’t have to hover over your computer to keep bidding on an item; you can actually enter a maximum bid and the computer does all of the bidding for you. If you aren’t certain about an item right away, you can also create a watch list.

Have items to sell? Settling an estate? Need stuff picked up? The folks at M37Auction.com will do that for you, too. You can call (616)871-2662 or email Ardith@M-37Auction.com. Churches and charities are also encouraged to contact the business about doing fundraisers.

You can also drop your items off at the warehouse, providing a description as well. M37Auction will take photos of your items and post them with descriptions on their website. People will bid on your items every other Tuesday. For instance, April 15 at 8 p.m is the final day of bidding for the most recent items. Winning bidders pick up their items at the warehouse, 9790 Cherry Valley Ave, Caledonia. In return, those who put items up for bid, receive a check in the mail.

If you have items that you would like to sell on eBay, M37Auction will do that for you, too.
