Scavengerie

Watch out for the male manager of this place, doesn’t seem that honest.

Found a great spot light from the 40’s and the time before that some clown shoes from the same era. Never know what you might find. I do know you will always be treated kindly by the owners though. I feel good spending my money here and so should you.

The owners are a husband and wife. She is Chinese and he is French. They are both very nice people. This place is like a museum. I think the prices are a little high and the place is busting at the seams because they care about the «collection.» Very cool store though. It has a little bit of everything. Lots of vintage guitars, some really cool arch tops and lots of little bitty Martins. They also have a TON of vintage luggage pieces of all sizes. Lots of cool train cases, which are my favorite… I was after a vintage Schwinn cruiser. They have a handful of other vintage bicycles, home wares, and vintage clothes. The owner lady even gave my daughter a stuffed bunny while we poked around. Sweet people and a very cool shop. Support local businesses!

This place is really cool if you’re looking for vintage/​antique-​y stuff for your house. I came here with my friend cause he wanted to look at guitars (they have a good amount here), but I was totally taken aback by all the other goodies they have here. From mannequins, to jackets, to pots and pans, this place has it all! I think we spent half an hour in here cause there was so much to see! Definitely a good place to pass through if you’re into vintage stuff. Only thing is, the store was so cramped and hard to walk through; definitely had me feeling claustrophobic! 3.5 stars for a cool mom and pop store!

‘Not a great deal, but decent assortment”. Ok, that was at first glance… they actually have a great selection of musical instruments, cookware and art. It is not the bargain of the week, yet, I just might go back tomorrow and buy that 12 string afterall. I did scout it today on google reference sites and it is about $ 50 – 75 overpriced… but, I couldn’t find that one available anywhere… so is it really overpriced? How do you find a nice 12 string for less than $ 350? Who knew Martin did a lesser line. Learn something from Unilocaling all the time!
Oh watch the parking meter people… they got me! (add another 40 bucks to that guitar… dang it)

Love the selection here! It’s like a wee fantastic psychadelic trip into the Land of Good Finds!
I have to admit, the owners were charming, so that definitely adds to the panache…

wow, now he wants to accuse me of lying???
This guys business practices lack integrity. no surprise i guess?
One would think a business owner would first try to apologize or claim miscommunication of something at least at first. but not this guy. Denial is his preferred method of dealing with customers.
hey bud, you are in the wrong business!

Fulfill all your wannabe musician fantasies here! At first blush, this diminutive store bursting at the seams with random second-​hand instruments appears disorganized and overpriced, but if you take the time to rummage around and bargain, you’ll find that it offers a brilliant, attainable array of musical mediums. Classic guitars are piled high, and the accordion collection is almost photo-​worthy.
For the kitchen inclined, there’s stacks of vintage enamel potware in gorgeous, bright colors and enough iron pans to make grandma proud and for you to cook up a storm! If you’re looking to adorn your walls with styles of eras past, rifling through the collection will likely result in triumph. Stickers are high so be sure to exercise those wheelin’ and dealin’ muscles!

Pretty awesome little store jam-​packed with neat, vintage stuff, though I think their hours are a little irregular (I believe they are really only open on sunny days, which makes sense because their inventory piles onto the sidewalk). 50% of what they have are miscellaneous stringed instruments. Their dog is tied outside and is very easy. Will give you happy glances for back rubs.

How lovely. This tiny store stuffed (literally) with so many amazing things: vintage suitcases, guitars, enamel pots & pans, artwork, mannequins, bomber jackets and more. They are only open Thursday through Sunday but it’s worth a special trip to check this place out. The owners are friendly, willing to help, and will tell you where to get the best tandoori fish in town (Kabana). My husband bought a classical guitar for $ 90 that sounds much better than one he purchased for $ 400 a year ago.

I love this place. It’s full of stories. And good art, and vintage suitcases, copper cookware, accordians and a million vintage guitars. A very charismatic couple and a charming dog await you inside. Or sometimes outside. It is definitely worth stopping in and looking around. Stop obsessively hunting on ebay and check this place out!

This place is amazing. Good cheap accordions that are found at estate sales. Amazing old banjos and guitars. The perfect place to find quality stuff without the hipster markup. For real. The couple who run it are super nice too and you know this should be the most frequented thriftstore in the entire bay area for musicians. I got my accordion there a week ago and it was a great… like GREAT deal, plus he knocked $ 50 off since I was nice. People have to go here so it sticks around for a long time.
oh — they had good actual military jackets too, ww2 leather bombers etc.

This tiny antique shop is focused mainly on high-​end antique cookware (especially copper), guitars, and suitcases. I bought a couple Revereware pots – they were about the same price as if I’d bought them new, but they were the old «Made In USA», so much better quality for the same price. The owner is as friendly as can be.

Here’s a tiny resale shop packed with lots of fun old things, and loads of used guitars. I found a beautiful 1960’s era signed painting of what I think is Big Sur for $ 45 bucks. Stoked!

I had some time to kill before meeting some randoms in Berkeley. I saw this store that had all of this really random stuff including what I thought was a robot. Found a jacket that fit me perfectly. I never find vintage/​thrift stuff that fit but it was like it was placed there…
