I spoke to the owner pay for an apartment clean and asked if wanted to see first. He said no and quoted me $375 and $25 because of stairs. He had 2 guys with box showed up today and after the job and charging $1200. I had a verbal agreement and he did NOT honor. When I tried calling him he woudl not answer. He is not honest and a crook. I will be filing a complainet with BBB and the state! read more

There's a lot of old appliances and unique devices here for very cheap. Fishing equipment, construction tools, plumbing fixtures, even new work gloves all very affordable. Plenty of DVDs and books, new notebooks for school, discounted jeans, I picked up a few picture frames for a personal project all under $20. Friendly fellas at the front desk. Check this place out if you're doing repair and need a random piece of work equipment read more

A large, almost overwhelming store. This business offers a variety of things and even has a whole separate area for larger items and furniture. They have a decent selection of books and movies and a great selection of household goods. Don't worry if you can't make it here. They also have an eBay store. Unfortunately, their prices reflected this. A few times, I picked up an item and had one of those "Really?" moments. A fun place to browse but nothing came home with me. read more

Roosevelt Tower Antiques & Salvage - Thrift Stores Near Me - Derby, Connecticut

Attempted to show me a bench vise via Facebook marketplace, we agreed upon a price. When I arrived 30 minutes later, they no longer had the item and tried to sell me a different bench vise. The vise they try to sell me was smaller with bench adjustment pins. I offered him bus money, and he refused. Wasting my time, don't waste yours. read more

I used to drive this route to college and remembered passing a sign for Books By the Falls. While doing some cleaning of our family home I looked up Books by the Falls to make a donation and upon arrival found that it has beed absorbed into this establishment. My mother and I found the collection of items remarkable and we enjoyed walking around and looking at all the treasures. My opinion of this place changed dramatically when in the rear part of the building I spotted a Trump 2020 sign over a doorway. A place of business is no place for political ads. I should have gone back and retrieved my donation but instead we simply left. To this day I regret leaving my small donation with this business out of principle. I'll never visit Roosevelt Tower Antiques & Salvage again and I hope the owners one day reconsider posting political ads inside a place of business. Byeeeeeeeeeee! read more

lots of fun to wander around on a weekend afternoon. Plenty of unusual finds and old school toys!

Let me start by saying that I completely understand that any business person can ask whatever price they want on their own merchandise. It's a free country. I have driven past this place many times, and being interested in antiques, I finally decided to stop and take a look around. Lots of junk that although it will never sell, is ridiculously overpriced. I saw a old beat up 4-stack barrister bookcase that was missing knobs, had peeling (delaminated) wood on the back, some deep gouges in the damaged finish, and a poor overall look to the finish. It was obvious by its location in the store that it has been there for quite awhile. I figured that it could be a "project" for me, and asked the owner for the price. He came back around to where it was located, and without even looking at me (he apparently had no intent of actually doing any business) mumbled "$1300...it's a barrister bookcase" then turned around and walked away. I have been to antique shops and fairs/markets all around New England and know that in better condition, the item would only sell for half of that price. Ridiculous! Store had a $1 table full of items that had "original price tags" on them that could only have been put there to "convince" people that they were getting a deal. Would you pay $1 for a dusty old pack of brown paper lunch bags...oh wait, they were originally marked at $3.99! I must be getting a good deal! When prices are that far from reality, and an owner apparently disinterested actually conversing with a customer, there is not any point of even trying to purchase anything at this "Antiques and Salvage shop". Don't waste your time here! By the way, upon leaving the premises, I got the privilege of reading a 2 to 3-foot sign on the exit door that expresses the owner's contempt for political correctness, and his thoughts on the subject. Thanks for the lesson! Enough said.... read more

don't deal with this company. Pat not only beat me up for a few items but also noticed when he left that he had taken items that he never mentioned he wanted VERY SHADY AND NOT REPUTABLE read more

This place is a scam. There were a ton of flags outside that said "50% off". When my husband and I went inside we found out that it was only the yellow tags. After looking around at the overpriced, dusty junk, there were no yellow tags to be seen. So in effect, NOTHING was on sale. Stay away!! read more

My girlfriend and I stop by this place regularly and have found some great deals as we go about renovating and furnishing an older home. We've found very good deals on tools and furniture and one-of-a-kind items that are helping make our new space just what we want. We have found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. If you're looking for something in particular, just ask. Our understanding is that they have a lot more stuff warehoused then they can fit in the retail space. Hearing about what they do is worth a few minutes of your time. I don't consider them overpriced. There is a WIDE range of stuff. We've certainly gotten what we consider some very good deals. I give them an honest four stars, because I'm a fan. I'm tempted to go to five, but saying this is "as good as it gets" is pushing it a little, perhaps. But it's good, and fun, and worth my time. read more

There seams to be a Theme with this business and their ratings they are getting. Went in to look around and when I found a Luggage bag that I was interested In purchasing , mind you there way a price tag above the Luggage area that said $9.98 for large soft case . Then when I went to the front to make my purchase they told me that it was starting at that price and that it would be $50 . After hearing that I could tell that it would be hard to find any type of deal on something I might be interested in , so I left . I'm not sure on the market out here for used dusty old luggage, but it must be good seeing that that have a over stock of it and are asking crazy prices . I will leave anyone this that is reading this review, "There is always another deal" that same day I walked in to goodwill and found a wonderful large Victorinox bag in great Condition and not all dusty all for $14.99 Wow! Sometimes it's better to move Product rather than try to get over retail . read more

Salvage yard with antique store prices. I got really excited when I drove past it. Salvage, you say? Treasure it is then! Nope. The stuff is all packed in a dusty warehouse, with the few "display" furniture pieces outside. Think 70s dusty chairs, a ton of super ugly tables, a million filling cabinets, etc. Everything is broken, or dirty or missing parts. Which is really not a problem for me. There is also a front "antique" section with all sorts of kitschy crap. Prices though? Same as curated antique stores. Turnaround is long, since why the hell would anyone shop here. Overall, don't even bother stopping if you drive past the place. read more

Ridiculous prices. Some nice things, but the majority are typical tag sale finds. For example, the old style metal 10 gallon fish tank stand for $40. And it was badly painted red. Waste of time. Better off at the thrift stores. read more

Outrageous outrageous prices. A combination of awesome stuff & weird stuff like a bucket of old family photos & first communion certificate. It's amazing what they think they can sell & the prices that they sell for. read more

We are serial treasure hunters. My husband and I stopped in here to buy a door and hinges. They have such a fun variety of items. Everything you could imagine. I love this. It is like going back in time and visiting your grandmother's and grandfather's attic and workshop. Such fun. Make sure you leave plenty of time to browse. I am going back to buy this BEAUTIFUL china cabinet that I will repaint and LOVE. This place is not to be missed. From the outside, you cannot tell what is inside. A++++++ read more

Theese people that own this place should be ashamed of themselves. There very pety and split hairs on everything. The lady and her husband( the guy with the goatee/Texas hat) fought with me over a few bucks. Not only this but all the people who work here are worse then car salesman. They follow you around when they see you are looking for something. An try to sell you everything except for what you want. I reapeted more than once " I'm good I looked and you don't have the size i need". But what about this what about that. Ughhh hello you def or you got some screws loose? I said I'm good more than 3 times. Overall theese people give thrifters/ collectors a bad name. Cheap, very pety , and no respect for the same people who are paying their bills. Don't go here it's a waste of time overpriced and there definition of negotiable is knocking off 5 bucks off a 100. Once again to the owners/workers SHAME ON YOU !!!! read more
