CRUMPTON AUCTIONS DIXON'S FURNITURE, DYLAN DIXON CROOKED AUCTION MILLINGTON, Maryland
Crumpton Auction held on Wednesday's used to be a pleasure trip to take my family to every week. Sometimes we went just to bid, sometimes we had a table of items to sell. Dylan is the grandson of the owner. Dylan is ruining the family business and favoring certain dealers aka "Locke Auction" out of Locke, NY.
I used enjoy the auction. Nowadays, I am lucky to get a bid in. Sometimes they "throw" a table lot and Dylan does not think everything is on to what is going on.
If you want to make money at a fair auction, do not go to Crumpton auction. Most likely Locke Auction will swoop in and steal your table for little or nothing. They favor Locke Auction and its very unfair business. I have spent hours finding items, bringing my items, setting up a nice table, just to watch in horror seeing it get thrown for about $20 -$50 when it should have brought at least $800+.
They also have a woman named Linda who owns a flea market in DE who will purposely bid you up. She sort of works for them. If there is something she wants, she tells them what it is. Later on, she will get it for nothing. It's disgusting how she claims a table with her sheets thrown on top it. I know because she told me herself. It's dishonest there and I am so glad to find this website to reveal what is going on.
I hope the word gets out. Alot of people who go there already been complaining about it to Dylan. But he does not care. He makes his commission off of Locke Auction. They drive a huge truck there every week and fill it up and take it to Locke, NY and re-sell everything to make a killing at their own auction.
Check out youtube sometime. The truth will be revealed!

I just want to say that I have no doubt about the practices going on at crumpton auction. I've actually never been to one. I frequent Andrew's auction at American corner. However, I do know Linda. She goes to all the auctions in the area. It's her thing. I dont believe she bids people up. She likes cheap. She buys the crap nobody wants. Have you ever been to her " flea market"?All her stuff is outside covered in tarps getting ruined. She doesn't sell much. There's so much stuff and you can't see it because its covered but it's what she likes to do. All the auction people know her. When something isn't selling Curtis looks to Linda to try to get her to bid. She buys cheap..sells for double. As far as bidding people up. I think thats false. I'll be mentioning it to her.

Dixon Furniture Auction the Best

Apparently this person has not idea of what is going on. I have been selling for 35 years at Dixon furniture Auction in Crumption Md. Dylan Dixon has done a fantastic job of employing fainess to all the auctions run. There are many times I have lost and gained as a seller and have been outbid and won on the other side as a buyer. This person sounds like sour grapes. Antiques are not what they once where. You need to educate yourself before you make quick judgements. As for Linda, she takes bids for dealer who cannot be present at the auction and she is above board on everything. The auction has no buyers premium and is one of the best around. If it was dishonest, no one would attend. Buyers and sellers flock from New England to South Carolina, every week. don't let one sour grape spoil the brew.
