I respect this business, I’ve watched someone roll up on a clearly stolen e bike to attempt a sale (trust me, that person didn’t own it) and they turned em down without hesitation. The guy running the counter said he has no tolerance for that BS and I really like when I business stands on principles when others might have a mindset that’s more focused on making money no matter what, with a “not my problem” mentality. Definitely not this business, and any time I’ve made a sale they’re always very reasonable. A few times I’ve brought in items that I was being unrealistic about and the clerks are patient and show you how much it’s worth new and everything no big deal, they still made an offer that was reasonable based on the original sale price and that’s their principle you can count on. Like I said I appreciate that, as opposed to being given the run around.

The manager/owner (I think he's also the owner) is outstanding in his business practices and how he treats his customers. He shocked me with something he did that was totally unsolicited on my part. I didn't ask him for any favours — he just did one, and it was a big one.
If you're looking to patronize a business like Island Traders, it deserves you as a customer. Yes, I know this reads like a paid testimonial, but I assure you it is not. I've written this only because I believe one good deed deserves another. Thanks again to Island Traders, Courtenay.

These guys are great! I bought a brand new GameCube controller which was broken out of the box and they just replaced it, no questions asked.

Awesome store with a wide selection. Everything from jewellery to electronics to guns!!🤙🏼
The staff were super cool and gave a a 15% discount when I bought multiple items. Great store to just swing in at when you're in the area as they got good prices!

Often been coming back here since moving to the valley many years back and it's almost consistently had just the right thing I needed. Staff are helpful and quite fair with what they give for things you bring in. Happy to keep giving them my business!
