    Just an idea of some of the surplus that they have.
    Brooke T.

    Why doesn't this place have more reviews, seriously? This place is truly amazeballs. It is located right off of Rte 1, if you go to Rhode Island Ave you have gone too far. Nope you can't see it from the road, nope there isn't any grand signage. It just is what it is. Metered parking is available. So what is it, you ask? It is the surplus from the UMD system, like everything that you can think of related to an office; from monitors, desks, file cabinets, computers and more. Oh and it isn't cheap stuff either. This is the real deal Holyfield stuff, heavy wood desks, Dell monitors, apple producrts, etc. Now keep in mind that because this is a wwarehouse, theventory fluctuates as it becomes available. Things don't last here long folks. The prices are very reasonable and the items are barely used in my opinion. No guarantees, and no refunds are offered as items are sold as is. I have no problem with this because the prices are uber reasonable and you can tinker with things if needed. Before buying dual monitors (less than $100 total with cables included BOOYAH!) they were set up and tested. They are closed on Mondays and follow the closure of the school (think spring break and the like). My suggestion is to call before you venture out. There is also a website available where you can participate in a live auction. Here's what I know for sure, whenever I need something else for my computer, or office I'm coming here first.

    5 stars - Highly Recommend! We had a wonderful experience…read moreworking with Chris from Orion's Attic for the estate liquidation of my elderly aunt's home. From the beginning, he was professional, compassionate, and incredibly organized. He kept us updated throughout the entire process, sharing photos of his progress and maintaining excellent communication every step of the way.

    I was lucky enough to find Orion's Attic on ChaGPT. Chris went above and beyond my expectations…read more An elderly relative of mine with health issues lives alone and when I went to visit, I was devastated to see how cluttered and disorganized his home was. No one should live like that. Chris and his crew stepped in and cleared out all rooms, taking many items for donation and other items to be trashed. They cleared out his kitchen which had so many canned/boxed food items that were expired. Chris even moved items so they weren't a tripping hazard, he pointed out fire hazards too. He did all of this with compassion and understanding, even recommending a company to help with ongoing cleaning/care to avoid my relative's place returning to its unlivable state. He even provided tax documents for donated items. I live out of state and couldn't be there, and Chris communicated with me throughout the process, sending me videos as he progressed. I even got quotes from competitors who weren't as compassionate or affordable. I highly recommend Orion's Attic!! Chris is amazing!!

    Late to the party but I finally made it to this vintage store when I saw they were doing a big…read moregiveaway on a bunch of random things on some random weekend. I used that as an opportunity to visit, and I got to explore the rest of the store. They're located in that random giant industrial area that runs alongside Route 1 on the side where the train tracks are. It can definitely be easy to miss, and parking in the lot itself is quite limited. The adjacent street allows parking too, but sheesh it gets crowded. The vintage store is bigger than it may appear from the outside, and there's truly a LOT to sort through. Furniture, trinkets, pillows... you name it, they have it. There were some small tables and stools that almost found a home with me, but I was like... where am I going to put these things?! My kitchen is already being to be overloaded, and I rather not have that same energy rippling through the rest of the house. I ended up seeing this beautiful and vintage black and gold highball and shaker set that fit my bar / living room space really well, and I couldn't resist. I haven't been back in a while, but I'm sure if I returned I'd find something else neat. We'll see!

    Such a gem of a store. I have not found anything like this anywhere else in the U.S. You can feel…read morethe passion that the owners have for this work. Quality furniture at fair prices in a quaint store, which attributes to a lower overhead. Thank you for saving this genre of furniture and design.

    Seen they were having another sale on the estatesales app in Bowie, MD and decided to check it out…read more Very friendly employees and even greeted me upon entering. I had been to two of their prior sales. One of them was a massive mansion in Chevy Chase and the other a victorian house in Bethesda. At the Chevy chase sale I must have spent a little over $500+ on various luxury furniture items which would have cost a fortune in the high end stores and also purchased a couple of small items like books and stuff. The guy running the sale I forgot his name but he gave me a awesome deal on the stuff. Also even help me load the small stuff in my car. Had to call a buddy with a pickup truck to haul the furniture items. At the Bethesda I purchased a diamond ring for a girl I was planning on marrying which didn't work out. I didn't want to continue the relationship. So I took it to a jewelry store to get it cleaned and polished and they said I got a good deal on it so I'm still happy. I can always get it resized for the next fiancé. Lol. The Bowie sale I just purchased a few silver coins. I would advise everyone come early to these guys sales. The Chevy Chase sale had a massive line of people waiting but they were letting like 30 people in at a time. They tend to get the big houses and mansions with the rare and awesome stuff so I definitely recommend checking out their sales. Only downfalls is parking can be a little tricky due to the massive crowds of their sales. But with any estate sale I always go early. Also some of the other customers get a little crazy at the sales because of the rare stuff people find. Overall A+++++

    Other reviewers are wholly correct on how potential buyers are treated. If you value informative…read moreinteractions or basic respect, I'd look for other options. There's no shortage of estate sales in the area.
