Salvage Shop Simulator

Salvage Shop Simulator is about building a retail business from discarded cargo. You bid on salvaged shipping containers, transport your winnings to your shop, restore the items and sell them to customers.

Bid on container cargo

You have 10 seconds to look inside each container and judge its contents before bidding against NPC opponents. Each has a distinct bidding personality and style, so learning their habits can help you anticipate their moves and try to secure a haul at a low price. Containers come from different ports and specialized auction houses, which offer higher-risk, higher-reward lots as you unlock them.

Transport and restore your finds

After winning an auction, you load the items onto a transport vehicle and bring them back to your shop. You start with a small vehicle and can buy larger ones as your profits grow. Efficient loading and managing the vehicle’s physics help you make the most of each trip.

Before items go on sale, you clean them in a minigame, repair them at a workbench to improve their condition and potential sale price, and visit an expert to assess their value. Some items may be bootlegs.

Run your shop

You arrange shelving and racks to shape the shop layout and make use of the floor space. You choose where to display each item, decide how to showcase your best finds and can paint the walls; an appealing shop can attract more customers.

As your reputation and bankroll grow, you can acquire larger stores in different parts of the city. Each new property needs to be cleaned and organized before it is ready to open.
