This is what Lost Eras(in Rogers Park, and I eventually need to redo my review of that place) would probably be like, if it had 2.5 times more space, plus an outdoor area(just off of a left side door past all the TVs) to sell even more stuff(though the most interesting stuff by far is inside). This store was seriously like combining the most interesting retro things you'd find in someone's basement(more like the most interesting items of all the basements you've visited), and displaying them all in a very huge space. All the previous reviews are right-on about this place being great. Looks deceptively small when you first enter, as you only see the main room, a 2nd room just behind that room, and a side room filled with LPs/music/books/etc. at first. But when you go to that second room and realize there are several more rooms behind that door(albeit these rooms aren't air conditioned or heated at all, unlike the main 3 rooms), then you realize how much hidden treasures are here. And this is the ONLY caution I'll give about this place: the bathroom(in the back half of the place that doesn't have a/c or heat) isn't in the greatest shape, so I'd suggest finding one somewhere else if possible, unless you have to go very badly. I believe the staff lets you haggle on prices at least somewhat(but not sure to how much of a degree they allow this), since I overheard someone at the register and a customer appearing to do that before I began exploring the back rooms. Glad I didn't rush my time here, and savored exploring this store. Can't wait to return to this store at some future point. *NOTE: Closed on Sundays* read more

Hammond Salvage & Resale - front entrance into store, and store sign has been updated from the one shown in earlier pics. - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Hammond, Indiana

I'm taking one star off because I go here all the time and I've noticed that the prices are becoming like that of an antique joint and it's NOT an antique joint. It's a SALVAGE shop. Big difference. I'll pay higher prices if the picking-over and searching and digging are done FOR me. I'm getting to the point where I don't want to come anymore... read more

Yes I am a fan ... of digging through piles and finding great old ties, lamps, vintage coasters, barware and more. Stacks of books, records, pictures, posters don't freak me out. Climbing through stacks of old doors, windows, brass beds, and kitchen appliances makes for a great afternoon. All that and more is housed in the many rooms of Hammond Salvage & Resale. Will you love everything here? No. That's not the point. The point is hunting for the odd, the fun, the one-of-kind things. This is the place to do it. PS -- nice people, the kind you're glad to spend some time with and a cute little dog to welcome you as you walk in. read more

Also known as my favorite place on earth. I've started collecting several things (old recipe books, vintage trays, photos of strangers, etc) I'd otherwise had no other interest in, solely because of this store. The prices on the furniture are often pretty unbelievably reasonable, and you can find some pretty great things. I really like the family who runs it; they always seem like they're having a good time and they're never not friendly. Their good mood is infectious, especially while surrounded with a bunch of cool stuff. It's just a fun place to be. I can really only go on Saturdays, because I think they changed their hours, and close at 6:00 now, so I don't get there as often as I would otherwise. Bummer. read more

Out of all the resale stores in NW Indiana, this one is the best! I've been living in Hammond for 8 years now, and I've been visiting here on a regular basis for the entire time. I don't know where the guys (and girls) who work here get all the stuff in the store, but they always manage to have a fresh supply of items when I walk in. Rarely do I make a trip here that I walk away empty handed. There is literally something for everyone here. As soon as you walk into the main room, you are surrounded by great furniture at low prices and occasionally some really cool larger items, like a 4 foot square stained glass window for a bakery. The front entrance of the store was recently re-done, so when you walk in there is a vast supply of old VHS cassettes off to your right along with some newer DVDs, all at very low prices. Farther up is the area with all the display cases and the cash register. The display cases are my favorite part of Hammond Salvage; there are tons of old pocket knives, zippo lighters, antique glasses, keys, doorknobs, and the occasional piece of militaria. Off to the left is a room, about 10x10, that is FULL of old records, books, and older electronics, as well as a bunch of cassettes and CDs. I've never been interested enough to look through all the things in that room, but I'm positive that here are some gems trapped in there waiting for the right buyer. The doorway at the back of the main room leads to the first of several additions to the building, all of which seem to have been built at a time when Hammond had very questionable building code enforcement policies. From the outside, these additions look haphazard and dangerous, but once you're inside they don't look so bad. The first back room is partially filled with housewares, partially with tools, and finished off with fabrics and blankets neatly stacked on shelves. The tool section is really neat, there are tons of vintage tools, saws, and toolboxes stacked up that have always caught my attention. The rooms beyond this part of the building are not heated, so brace yourself and close the door after yourself when you continue forth. There are four rooms beyond this door: the first contains hockey and golf equipment, a few clothes, and luggage. The second room is mainly lamps and other small furniture. The two beyond that are filled with larger furniture, bed frames, and a lot of mattresses. Hammond Salvage also has a courtyard area next to the building, which has several lawnmowers, but also so much other neat stuff that I could write a separate review just for that area. The bottom line is that this place has some of the best prices on resale items I've seen, and if something seems too high, they are always willing to negotiate a bit. The staff is very friendly, and there is always something new and interesting to find in the store. I definitely recommend this place. read more

HOLY CRAP. I am an avid thrifter and lover of junk, junque, and the like. I will probably die in some Grey Gardens-esque manse one day. It will be quite the tragi-comedy. There were many amazing things to be found here from a beautiful chair I couldn't take home, to a claw foot tub out back, to a bunch of crazy dollies I took photos of. I was in antique junk heaven. If I weren't a bit on the broke side, I would have plopped down $12 for a ceramic Grimace bank. I probably should have, but another time. I did come home with a London Fog trench and two beautiful vintage hats. $7. My roomie found a He-Man book and some other wins as well. I think a couple hours on our road trip journey came in here and died along with all the stuff. I need to come back here again and again. read more

Looks rough at first but loaded with treasures at great prices. They definately cover all the bases here with an expansive array of items. You never know what you'll find. I almost hesitate to give my secret bargain bin away, as it was not listed on yelp as of 2/03/2021 But I like the people there and I wish them lots of success. read more

This place causes me so much trouble. I literally live down the street from it and pass it whenever I go to the grocery store. They always have things set outside for sale when they're open, and I always find myself rubber necking as I pass by. I really am afraid that I'll cause an accident while passing by. I've made a policy to not take money with me when I go there because I'll spend way too much. I can do this because if I decide I do want to buy something, I can hurry home and come back with the cash. As some others have said, they can be a bit pricey on some things. However, there is a system. If something just comes in, the price will be a bit higher. The longer it sits there, the more they'll mark it down. Also, if it's been there a while, they're more inclined to haggle. Go in with a great attitude and they will give you a better deal. Go in with a crappy attitude, they won't be so inclined to haggle. Just be warned, if it's brand new to the shop, they won't haggle as much. If you buy a bunch of things all at once, they'll often give you a price for the whole lot which saves you money. I have found some real gems in the store. I've bought an entire set of vintage dishes for my house. I had a tea party for my daughter and got a tea set made in England and vintage, lace table linens for a very reasonable price. I've bought two solid wood desks there. Tomorrow, I'm having an 1950's china cabinet delivered to my house (They do deliver locally, for a price.) This lovely piece is in pristine condition with huge, glass sliding doors, which is why I'm having it delivered. The price on it was a steal. I found it before it was even tagged and will make a great addition to my 1950's built home. I could list all of the wonderful things I've found there but you really need to go yourself. You can easily pass an hour or two there without even knowing the time has passed. So make sure you set aside a good amount of time to look. With a little bit of time, you could actually furnish your house with vintage furniture, dishes and the like for a fraction of the cost of what you would buy new. The older stuff has so much more character and the things I've bought have been solid wood. Not pressed particle board. This is truly a Hammond treasure. You city people would be smart to come and take a look. read more

I love this place. A true resale shop. Room after room, mountains of stuff, organized. I have yet to visit and not find some small treasure, a joyous gift. It never disappoints if you know how to look. read more

Hammond Salvage & Resale - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Hammond, Indiana

This place is awesome. I have made several purchases here since finding this place. Excellent prices and a variety of things. The best part is it is so organized. Most resell shops just throw everything in there for you to dig through. Here they have everything grouped together. It's great for my OCD. LOL. I have become a regular here and love it. Highly recommend. read more

Overpriced for what it is. A lot of fun if you're in the mood to dig through lots of junk. Hopefully you will find the treasure you have always wanted. I didn't. read more

Wow I cant believe how much stuff is here OMG i found a painting of a doberman dog that looks like my old friend spike and she sold it to me at a price that was really cheap compared to most places. This place is awsome and they will even let you make an offer on things. Its Cool read more

This store was exactly what I was looking for. Full of junk that you can pick through and fair prices! My mom bought an antique window for $10 along with two antique suitcases. Great little place, I will be coming back. read more

I love this place. So much vintage goodness. Reasonably priced. It's huge and the staff is friendly and don't hover.

I'm super disappointed with their customer service. They won't hold any items unless it's within a certain price bracket which doesn't make a lot of sense if someone isn't going to buy they won't, yea it's a gamble but that's business. I explained to the lady who answered my situation but there were no exceptions with her. For a small business that relies on its repeat business and its neighboring clients I think they need to be more lenient on their policy. read more

This place rocks! Pretty much anything you could be searching for, there's a good chance they have it there. The people that work there are beyond courteous and helpful. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

Love this place. The women who run it are fantastic and dedicated to helping you.

Best resale/antique store in the area by far. Its huge, friendly staff, prices are great, and def a store you could find almost anything and then some. Highly reccomended read more

I went to this place because I LOVE digging for treasures, and because of the glowing reviews but I was sadly VERY disappointed. A bunch of junk really, like going to a really bad garage sale that wastes your time by putting out a bunch of junk that nobody wants. And the bathroom is disgusting. I'd rather the somewhat rude clerk had told me that they did not have public facilities - instead I was directed to a disgustingly dirty room with a bucket of water to flush the toilet - YUCK! They've also left some wooden furniture outside that is totally unusable, even for the garden. I understand I may have been there on an off-day and maybe they recently sold all the good stuff, but somehow I doubt it. I will not return - EVER!. read more
