I've had nothing but great experiences with MJD Auctions. I even had a case where the listing was incorrect and they made good on it. They are courteous, responsive and deliver great customer service. These are all great qualities when dealing with online auction houses plus their buyer's premiums are among the most reasonable. I only wish that they would load more photos of each item.

I recently brought in tools for the upcoming auction. These guys are great. Very welcoming and took time to explain the process to me even though they were very busy preparing for the auction. Excellent service. I recommend this business to everyone! Thank you to the crew, Jason

A very professional and respectable company with friendly and polite staff to assist with your needs. You can contact them by phone, internet or in person. I have used these folks to sell tools a few times and I only have good things to say about my experiences with them. A real top notch outfit.
