What clients say about Funk & Junk Islands Auction Co in Friday Harbor (WA)
*Store decided to delete my review after 5 months of it being up, this review is still accurate*
i enjoy going to this place every so often. they have cool stuff to check out. they’re a little pricy, which always bums me out, but window shopping is always nice. i went recently and was shocked to notice nazi memorabilia displayed and for sale
by the register. with them, is little note saying something along the lines of the business not supporting nazism, however, i find it odd that they’ve decided to sell and profit off of nazi memorabilia instead of donating it to a museum. these pieces exist because of hatred and ignorance and are made from the blood and death of many innocent people. to me, i don’t understand how you can say you don’t support nazism, but also profit off it. it’s disgusting and upsetting, especially during a time where antisemitism is on the rise. so with that, i don’t think i can return. i will advise friends and family to do the same.
I love visiting Funk & Junk every time I’m in Friday Harbor. I do a lot of antiquing and Annie always has an amazing selection- often at lower prices than Seattle vendors would list comparable items.
Annie is a very interesting and kind person. I’ve had many lovely conversations with her over the years. She knows everything about the islands. But she will also leave people alone to shop and enjoy, if they prefer.
This is a really fun store to visit. There is an amazing variety of all sorts of antiques. We found a beautiful coral and turquoise ring that used to belong to the owner’s friend, a fisherman. I will always think of this cute spot whenever I have it on.
Close to the farmers market on Saturday and was at the same time. Lots of cool stuff, the owner/worker lady wasn’t behind the counter at first but when we were ready to check out she was there and very nice/friendly to our young daughter who was buying a little item.. she helped her count change and was very sweet. Worth a look!
I'm not sure why someone said the owner was rude, she is one of the sweetest, most personable people I've met in San Juan. The prices in this store are absolutely reasonable considering the great quality of it's inventory. The things aren't just old, they're well preserved pieces of history so the price tags on these items are 100% warranted. I hope to stop by during my next trip!
