We have both purchased from and sold to The Bomb Shelter and were pleased with every experience. Their inventory is spectacular and priced fairly. Kevin and the staff are great to deal with. If you are looking to step back into mid-century Americana, this is the place that will take you there.

This place is so unique and quirky. They have stuff you can't find anywhere else and it's arranged in such a fun and attractive way. They don't only have antiques--they also have lots of architectural stuff like doors, windows, industrial shelving and cabinets and so much more. Do you want a pipe organ? A big statue of the virgin Mary? Do you want vintage clothing? How about an early tv set? Do you want a kitchen from the 60s? They have everything!

I have a 1940s Magic Chef stove with instruction booklet. Would you be interested in buying it? Picture on for sale site.

Cheryl lashinske | Oct 21, 2018

You must actually call the guys to give you an estimate. It must be in almost pristine condition for them to accept an item and they do not pay top dollar if that helps. They will tell you if yo don't like their price take it to Abby Ann's or another place. They will look item up online then low ball offer from there. Just be prepared to get a lot less than what you wanted or expected. This has been my experience 2 or 3 times.

Do they buy items on Sunday
