Island City Antique Market

"Had a great experience here with the unique antiques and friendly staff."

"One of the best antique shops you will find! So many great items. MCM, glassware, jewelry, art, advertising, old farming items, lamps, perfume bottles, a bit of everything! The staff is so lovely. I really enjoyed chatting with them. I am only sad that I live 4 hours away and can't visit more often."

"I am surprised with negative comments overall. I often stop after hiking north of town ...love the store, wonderful conversation with either owner or worker around logging industry memorabilia and they held something for me ...had to measure space in my cabin and could not pick up immediately. I have bought a few things over the years and while some items are high I seem to always walk away with a good deal ."

"The merchandise is antique heaven, but the staff act like they're trapped in antique purgatory. They hate you as the customer and hate that they are there. Definitely don't come if you have children, a backpack, or social anxiety. All the cases are locked (understandable, reasonable) so you have to ask for them to unlock them, which they seem annoyed by, as if they didn't put the locks there. I've asked questions about whether a lamp turns on when plugged in and was answered by a snappy "Everything here is old!!! You need to rewire it!" There are signs taped on the cases that say "If you try to open this case, we'll assume you're stealing!" My husband was standing next to the counter while we checked out and a staff member told him "I'm going to need you to move." I've visited this store more than 10 times because it's organized well and the prices aren't bad. Every time I go, I think "Maybe I overexaggerated that experience in hindsight" but every time, it's validated. I'm a quiet browser and I often make a purchase so I don't feel like I've earned their vitriol. I guess it's nice to know their spite is distributed equally."
