Salvage Angel By The Sea

K★★★★★a year ago

This might have been the oddest shopping experience of my life. There are a lot of treasures in here, definitely something for everyone. However, like many others have said, the experience is sketchy and inconvenient. You have to take pictures of what you like. Many things are piled on top of each other, so I felt nervous, even touching them. At the end, you bring the woman at the front desk, who is a very unfriendly, a list of your photos. She writes them down and then looks on the internet to see about pricing. This process took about 15 to 20 minutes, while we stood there awkwardly waiting for her to come back. Then she comes back, tells you to take a picture of the pricing and contact her with any questions. She told me to Venmo her if I’d like anything and walked away. It was just very odd, very unwelcoming and very very inconvenient. I wish I would’ve looked at reviews before I wasted my time here. There were definitely some items that I would’ve loved, but ended up walking out empty-handed mostly due to the process and the insane prices for some items that weren’t even close to being in great condition.

Yes, the owner has a specific method for selling the items - take a photo and don’t touch. This is also why it is THE MOST ORGANIZED AND ENJOYABLE shopping experience you will ever have at an antique or architectural salvage store. Front doors lined up with dimensions on the side? YES. Themed rooms of wares like vintage mirrors? YES. Love this place and it is worth the process. Bought multiple pieces for our home reno here. It won’t be the lowest prices but everything is in good condition and you can negotiate if you’re getting a few things.

What a cool find this place was! You could spend hours wandering around looking at their treasures!! The couple who owns the place were really nice!!

The place has amazing stuff no doubt. But the experience leaves you feeling unsettled. The owner is rude and makes you feel like an inconvenience.

Very well laid out for a salvage yard. You really need half a day to truly appreciate this place. It’s full of all kinds of salvaged items but very well organized and laid out. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for unique pieces for your home or business. Friendly staff and cute doggy too.
