Deal-hunters, get ready. Bid On Wilmington, the online auction where you can score local products and services for a fraction of retail price, is coming back this fall. Bidding opens October 7 and runs through October 11 at BidOnWilmington.com.
Sunny 103.7 is one of the CMG Sunrise stations behind the auction. You get first crack at real local deals, often starting well below retail. Bidding typically starts at 40 to 50% off, and past auctions have seen items go for up to 60% off what you’d pay walking in the door.
And if you’ve been putting off trying somewhere new in Wilmington, here’s your excuse.
When It Runs
Bidding opens Wednesday, October 7, and closes Sunday, October 11. Items close on a rolling basis, so the early bird really will get a shot at the best stuff first. Set a reminder (or just keep listening to Sunny 103.7) so you don’t miss the kickoff.
What’s Up For Grabs
The auction catalog is still being finalized, but past Bid On Wilmington sales have featured deals like:
- Restaurant gift cards and dining experiences
- Health and outdoor stuff like guided tours, water parks, and ropes courses
- Home services: cleaning, lighting, home improvement
- Things to do around town: museums, laser tag, axe throwing, and more
For example, local gym MissionFit Strength Studio is putting up two 6-month unlimited membership packages, each valued at over $1,000, for this fall’s sale.
Once the catalog goes live, the full list of items, starting bids, and photos will be browsable directly on BidOnWilmington.com.

Why It’s Worth Your Time
Every bid is a real shot at a real deal on a business right here in Wilmington, not a raffle ticket. If you’ve been meaning to try a new restaurant, book a spa day, or find something fun to do with the kids this fall, this is a low-risk way to do it for less.
