There are so many items to look at and buy that I was there for about an hour. If you look carefully you may find what you're looking from the old days of Hawaii. I found a very interesting marble collection which I didn't even know they had. I used to play with marbles when I was very young. The marbles were so colorful and unique that I bought a few. Near the register I discovered a very small Pittsburg Steelers lapel pin. They were my favorite team back in the old days so I bought it. All of the items are very reasonably priced and the owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. They will tell you stories about their collectibles. It was like going to a museum where you can actually but things. I had a great time!

It's amazing that a place like this even exists on Oahu and I'm so glad that it's here, because I…read morefelt like I stepped into the old Bone Room when it was on Solano Avenue in Berkeley, California. The Bone Room sold many fine items, like Gothic Alchemy jewelry, bug specimens, home decor, minerals and rocks, antiques and incense; Hound and Quail has all that except the Gothic Alchemy jewelry and human/animal bones. They do have some taxidermy, antler horns and a hanging (fake) skeleton, which caught my eye and lured me into the store. As soon as you step into the store, you feel like I entered a portal into a past time where old Victrolas ruled, steam trunks were the "in" luggage, men's swim suits looked like women's, when skeleton keys actually worked, and when people had to actually write letters and wait for a reply! If I were on Instagram, I'd tag this store with the following words: magical, curated goods, historical goods, household decor, old, antique, men's, taxidermy, leather, man cave. I actually did not want to leave. I wanted to stay there all day, and even possibly the next day and maybe the day after that. One of the owners, Mark, was super nice and attentive and genuinely happy that I was enjoying their taste in curated goods. It's pretty epic, you gotta go check it out yourself! I parked in the Chinatown Municipal Parking on Bethel Street and it was pretty cheap at 50 cents an hour on a Saturday.

This auction house carries EVERYTHING, from local Hawaii estates (usually 2 to 4 estates per auction) to art from local collectors & museums. WARNING: THESE AUCTIONS ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. Where else can you find a handwritten letter from King Kamehameha V to John Dominis, original paintings & prints by Jean Charlot, Madge Tennant, antique & contemporary furniture, an 18" Hawaiian koa outrigger canoe, a vintage 1960's Easy Bake Oven in the original box & a set of carpentry tools; all under one roof? They sell housewares from fine china by Lenox & handblown crystal stemware, antique tea cup collections, plus everyday use stoneware & glassware sets. I bought an entire rosewood living room suit - Ming-era style, carved with Chinese prosperity symbols, consisting of a 3 seat couch & two chairs (with custom-fitted cushions), 2 footstools, a large coffee table & 7' long credenza, all carved rosewood with custom cut glass tops on the coffee table & credenza; all in excellent, like-new condition for ONLY SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ($600) - that's 1/10th the original cost. The matching solid rosewood dining table with 10 chairs sold to someone else for $600. They sell estate jewelry, everything from vintage affordable costume pieces to high-end quality gems & fine jewelry designs, to antiques watches & wall clocks. It's a family run business with a small full-time staff & a large group of family & friends who volunteer to help out during auctions. Wendy McClain, the owner, conducts the auctions herself & is tireless. There are no upset prices, but some people think that means they can offer $20 for something worth $20,000. Be warned - Wendy does not suffer fools lightly. People who repeatedly shout out ridiculously low offers find themselves invited up on stage to find out just how "easy" it is by auctioning one or two items themselves. I discovered McClain's a couple of years ago & now I attend almost every auction (they hold one about every month), partly to keep an eye out for undervalued treasures, partly to socialize with other regulars, who include local celebrities. I've also used their services to trade up - selling some of my older furniture & art when I've seen something that better suits me become available. There is a showing every Friday before the Saturday auction from noon to 6 pm, and fro 8 to 10 am on Saturday, with the auction starting at or shortly after 10 am. The auctions are attended by dealers & private collectors buying for themselves in addition to some very nice, genuinely helpful people, so take any advice or information you get with a grain of salt & take notes to do your own research at home the night before the auction, or bring your smartphone or tablet/iPad & look up comps on site. The staff & volunteers are helpful & friendly, but none of them claim to be experts, so be prepared to do your own research. McClain's used to be located in Gentry Center, but about a year ago they moved to 780 S. Beretania Street, directly across from HPD headquarters. There is no on-site parking, but there are metered stalls along Beretania & the side streets, and the metered stalls in the municipal lots (ewa makai corner of S Beretania & Alapai) are free on Saturdays. It's a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

I bid two auction lots Sunday afternoon and scheduled pickup for Tuesday after 1 PM. The figurine…read morewas flawless; only Lot #538 Chinese birdcage had severe undisclosed damage. The online listing contained zero photos or notes of the cage's split, partially missing front door. I trusted the auction's professional listing service, which comes with a mandatory 15% buyer's premium meant to cover full pre-sale condition disclosures. I would never have bid if the major breakage had been shared upfront. Upon pickup, I was shocked to find the cage door broken clean in half. Staff confirmed internal archive photos proved the damage existed long before the auction went live. I stayed calm and polite the entire time, no loud outbursts or scene-making. I respect the owners as acquaintances and understand all businesses face hardships, so I approached the issue reasonably without overreacting. I simply asked why the critical damage was hidden and requested to reject the defective cage--this broken piece holds no value to me, and the omission was entirely their error. Owner Wendy confronted me angrily and rudely. She claimed she did not take listing photos and insisted her staff described the item fully to their knowledge, then blamed me entirely for failing to inspect in person pre-bidding. To make matters worse, she dismissively said the split door was not severe damage and I could simply glue it myself. I was stunned by this careless, unprofessional remark from a business owner. It is baffling why they intentionally concealed obvious structural damage just to sell a faulty cage for a $75 bid plus the 15% premium. This whole situation is ridiculous; it feels they actively misled a long-term loyal customer of 15-20 years who trusted their business, and I ended up falling victim to this lack of transparency. They shift all accountability for their incomplete listings onto buyers while acting entirely blameless and painting me as the problematic party. Their defensive, hostile attitude makes their operation appear unethical and unfair to consumers. Despite collecting a steep buyer's fee, they refuse to take responsibility for their failure to disclose major pre-existing defects and offered zero resolution or remedy. I formally dispute the 15% premium charged for Lot #538 and contest the misrepresented damaged item sale. I question two core standards: 1. Does the mandatory 15% buyer's premium oblige the auction to fully disclose all known major structural damage to listed goods? ​ 2. Is the auction permitted to hide prominent pre-existing flaws to complete sales, passing all risk to buyers with no recourse? Pre-auction in-person viewing is optional, yet no visual or written clues of the broken door appeared online. It is disappointing this local Hawaiian business disregards honest customer practices and exploits trusting long-time patrons. I share this review to warn other collectors and online bidders of their lack of transparency and confrontational customer service.
