As far as auctions go I believe this is the number one auction in all of Washington or Oregon. I've been a customer for years, for buying and selling. It's a family-owned business. The employees are very helpful. You can truly find some very wonderful treasures here. As for all auctions the items are used so you must preview. The Auctions are held on Thursdays with most starting at 6 p.m. since you should preview I would get there one to two hours earlier.

This auction house offers a great variety of quality items at auction every month. I personally won a cup & saucer from the Nanking Cargo at their last auction and was more than pleased with their exceptional customer service and quick response to all of my questions. Definitely recommend this business!

Horrible Experience! If you want to get ripped off, then work with MDA Auctions. I consigned several items with them. They "failed" to list one item on my consignment sheet that was worth well over $150.00. When I asked about the item, I was told "we are busy" and don't have the time to research. Then I was told it must have sold with another item.the bottom line is they ripped me off!
Check you consignment sheet carefully. Especially if the son writes it up. In addition to all this, they are arrogant, unfriendly and act as thought they don't want or need your business! Take my advice.go elsewhere!

This family run auction house has impressed me with its integrity as well as with the scope of the items it runs through its auctions. Friendly, courteous and pleasant dealing with even when an occasional problem might arise. I would not hesitate to consign objects to them for auction, nor would I hesitate to buy at their location in Renton. It is a long trip for me to drive there, but it is always worth the effort. If I could think of even one negative comment, I would not hesitate to list it. They may not walk on water, but they come pretty darn close.
