Spent a thousand dollars on an item that was broken and not in working order. They knew it didn't work and didn't list that in description. I can't trust them anymore to sell quality items. If it doesn't expressly say "tested working" that guarantees that the item is Broken!! Stay away and save yourself and your wallet.
I worked with David for two auctions of my closing business. The first time was great; no issues that didn't get worked out and I enjoyed working with David. I had some more things to auction, so based on the positive first experience, we agreed to work together again. However, the second time, after the auction was over, I was told I'd get a reconciliation of the sales like I did the prior time and get paid promptly. That didn't happen. David made multiple promises to me about sending the info and check, and didn't follow through. After several requests, he finally sent me a check, but no reconciliation. So, I did one myself and figured out that he under paid me by over $1000. I reached out to David and sent him my numbers, and he has completely ghosted me. I've called/texted/emailed him now several times for over a month and he refuses to get back to me. It's never a good sign when someone won't get back to you. I mean, if my numbers are wrong (they aren't), then you at least dialogue with people. If he's tight on cash, you try to work something out. But it is completely wrong under any circumstance to dodge contact and communication. Completely unprofessional. Given all of this, wouldn't recommend working with David/Madalyn.
I recently won dinner plates at auction with this company, and the reason I bid was because they write : SHIPPING AVAILABLE. But, what I got was horrible. They sent a picture of the plates shrink wrapped on a palette and told me to contact a shipper. They charged me an additional $100 for shrink wrapping! I wish I could add a photo!
Great job and nice guy that was there and very helpful on what I asked about things no
My first auction with them and not happy at all with communications, found auction to be not on the up and up.
The auction itself went great. I was able to bid seamlessly and won almost all of the items I wanted. The tricky part was the shipping. I did not know I would have to locate a carrier, which was an education. The local shipper only palletized my items, and I think they are on the way, a week and a half later. I would have liked better coordination and clarity about what to expect regarding getting my items to me.
Auction company was fine but wanted delivery a bit sooner but couldn't get anyone in the Auction company to meet up with the delivery company for over two weeks.
We love working with Madalyn. The bidding and pick up processes are super simple, and you can find some great deals at the auctions.
The only issue that I encounter is the fact that the equipment needs to be picked up the day after the auction. It would be a lot easier to schedule if they were a couple of days to be picked up from the warehouse.
Experienced and professional. Helpful at every stage.
I bought several items that were the same product. Instead of talking photos of 5 individual products, the photos were unfortunately repeats. Therefore, the items I purchased were not as seen in the photos, some taken apart and missing pieces instead of what the item looked like in the photo. I understand there is a preview day but even so, the online photos should be exactly what you are purchasing.
Onsite person was friendly and knowledgeable.
Well organized for load out. Quick efficient process
Madalyn Auctions are always organized and accurate!
I always read the master rules on auction dates and pickup dates before bidding. After arriving from my 1.5 hour drive on the pickup day, I was told there was a special note on one of my items that I never saw that said it would only be available for pickup on a different day at a different location. The existence of a second separate pickup day and location was NOT in the master auction information online. I was not available to drive to the “storage facility” for a pickup at a different location and on a different day than the auction I participated in, but was told I would be losing the money I spent on that item. I do not believe this “special note” was present on the individual items page at the time of bidding, but even if it was I believe you must list ALL pickup days and locations in the MASTER auction information and details section so that bidders can make an informed decision if they are available for ALL pickup days and locations before beginning the bidding process on any item in the lot. I lost my money and the item.
The instructions on the website for purchase of the brewery tanks were not correct. It stated everything had to be removed in a four hour period the following day including the fermentation and brite tanks. That prevented me from bidding on them because coordination of a forklift, transport, riggers, etc in 12 hours is impossible. While on site today to pick up what I did bid and win, the tanks were still in place and I was told those did not have to be removed in the four hour window for all the reasons I stated above. So that was false advertising in the auction and not something I will participate in again from your company.
Yes we absolutely try and work with our buyers who communicate with us to facilitate their needs 👍
It was a good experience. However, it would have been easier if all items were available for pick up at the same location. We must make another trip tomorrow to another location to pick up our remaining items.
Product was as described. Person at pickup was friendly and knowledgeable.
