Junk & Disorderly

Whoa what a cool store– this store is what I would like my future apartment to look like with it’s cool vintage mix and match-​ness of random objects and no rhyme or reason organisation that somehow just works.
So many cool things to browse– it’s like a garage sale combined with an op shop with a high end vintage store housed in a big warehouse. Has kitchen things, furniture, clothing, handy-​man DIY knobs and pretty much anything under the sun as well as commercial products.
Well worth a look!

‘Junk & Disorderly’ is a second-​hand shoppers’ haven: inundated with everything vintage including timeless books, kitsch ornaments, old-​school pails, rocking horses, dainty tables, mannequins, crockery, 1970’s sofas & the kitchen sink. I absolutely adore this oversized jumble-​sale, that favours the consumer. I have purchased, borrowed & browsed this awe-​inspiring warehouse for days without boredom. Parking is a dream, located in the heart of Northcote — go and find some treasure without delay!

This is a really fun shop to have a wander through! Give yourself some time to really see everything and do some digging. The coffee caravan in back is a nice addition. There’s some seating if you want to have a coffee and sit for a bit.
Junk & Disorderly stocks a nice mixture of old and new. There is a lot of secondhand furniture, housewares, paintings and pictures. Some of the bigger pieces were out of my price range, but they were gorgeous and one-​of-​a-​kind.
It’s a shop you need to visit often, as it seems they are always unloading new items! The staff is very nice, knowledgable, and helpful. This will definitely be a new, usual stop for me!

We went here today in search of a desk, and sadly, didn’t find one. Well, we did, but it kind of had a SOLD sticker hanging off it, and when we enquired as to whether it was actually sold (since the sticker looked old and was hanging on by a corner), no one seemed to know, or wanted to find out.
We had a look around anyway, and this place is a hipster’s paradise. Most of it is genuinely old, and slightly overpriced. I got two sewing patterns for $ 2 apiece (and they weren’t even that great), and other op shops are selling them for around 50 cents each. We also grabbed a couple of spanners for $ 2 each, and I got some zips and piping for another $ 2.
There is a large section of stuff that isn’t secondhand and is brand new, and is extremely expensive. I saw a set of double bed sheets with foxes on them for $ 214. I know foxes are «in» right now, but seriously. Obviously very much taking advantage of the whole «vintage vibe» that people are loving right now, and good on them I guess, but I was looking for genuinely old, unfashionable secondhand stuff, and of that there just wasn’t that much, sadly.

this place is seriously a GOLD MINE.
whether you’re looking for a retro clock (they had some choice ones in stock when i was there), a motorbike helmet, a miniature tea set, or, say, a december 1969 copy of National Geographic magazine… junk & disorderly’s got you covered (and for a bargain at that!)
i thoroughly enjoyed wandering the enormous warehouse and examining all the trinkets, books, old records and furniture in stock. i can say with confidence that there is literally something for EVERYONE here.
as if that wasn’t enough, the service is cheerful and friendly too — in fact, one of the owners helped me out during my visit, and, from one simple interaction i could tell just how passionate he is about the shop.
definitely a fan. next time you’re passing through birkenhead/​northcote area, don’t let this one pass you by.

I love my op shops. Love a good trawl through stuff to find little gems at ridiculously cheap prices. Who cares if i’ll never wear or use the stuff, it was a good deal! Well if you like op-​shopping then boy oh boy do I have the one for you. Junk and Disorderly, apart from being delightfully punny, is the Mecca of second hand shops. This place is huge, like warehouse huge. You won’t find clothes at this particular Junk and Disorderly but you will find pretty much everything else. There’s artwork, furniture, appliances, crockery and more. You might come for one thing, but it’s almost a guarantee that you’ll leave with more. This place is so well-​regarded that there is often a waiting list for specific items, so get in quick if you’ve got something in particular in mind. Whether you’re visiting for a purpose or just to have a wander, be prepared to spend longer than you anticipated here.

Yes this place does have absolutely everything! Some things essential like tables and chairs and some things bizarre like giant beer cans and old spoons. It’s quite a lot of fun wondering through and checking out things that may have played a huge part in someone’s life. I had a blast searching through the books and even through some of the old CDs. I also bought a pirate sword! It was such good quality I couldn’t go past it! For a «junk shop» though some things can be overpriced. You really need to be prepared to dig to find the treasure!

The coolest second hand and collectibles store in Auckland for sure. The mass size of this warehouse is amazing and full of everything from a Tonka truck for the kid to vintage surfboards that make the man cave look awesome.
My first visit to J & D I spent over an hour and a half just wandering back and forth peering at peoples past belongings. I have purchased a beautiful vintage glass cake platter the kind that nana used to have, and a glass perfume spray bottle that opens up and allows you to fill it up with any scent you wish.
Prices are not too pricey, so won’t break the bank.
If you love exploring antique stores give this a try you might find a painting that inspires you, or a vintage lounge suite to redecorate with?
Staff are helpful however, usually only one person working the store.
Be prepared for cool and cool is what you will get.

This place is an epic wonderland of all things second-​hand and retro. Based out of a large warehouse in the back streets of Birkinhead, I could spend hours trawling for pieces of vintage furniture, picture frames, cute teacups and general flotsam and jetsam.
Service is always with a smile, plus they offer a reasonably-​priced delivery option if your new wares won’t fit into your car in one piece.
