About
Dive into the thrilling world of high-stakes auctions, meticulous restoration, and profitable retail in Salvage Shop Simulator. Your journey begins as a humble shop owner turning discarded container cargo into a thriving business empire.
Your inventory comes from one place: exciting container auctions. Each massive metal box has been salvaged from the deep, holding untold potential. With only 10 seconds to peek inside and make a split-second evaluation, you must quickly identify valuable finds and hidden junk. You'll be competing against a cast of NPC opponents, each with their own unique bidding personality and style. Learn their habits, anticipate their moves, and use clever tactics to secure the best haul at the lowest possible price.
Once the auction gavel drops and you secure your win, the real work begins. You'll need to load the winning items onto your transport vehicle. Start small, but as your profits grow, you can purchase new, larger vehicles to handle even the biggest hauls. Master the physics and the art of efficient loading to maximize every trip back to your shop.
Every item needs attention before it hits the shelves. Engage in satisfying minigames to bring life back to discarded goods:
Cleaning: Scrub off the grime and dirt with a dedicated cleaning minigame.
Repair: Use your workbench to restore items to better condition, boosting their potential sale price.
Evaluate: Visit an expert to evaluate the true value of your items. Be wary of bootlegs!
Your shop is your stage. You have full control over the retail space:
Custom Shop Layout: Personally design and arrange the shelving units and racks to maximize floor space and create the most appealing layout.
Merchandise Display: Carefully place each item on the shelves, deciding how to best showcase your top-tier finds and attract customer attention.
Personalize Your Space: Inject personality into your store by painting the walls. A visually appealing shop draws in more clientele!
The journey doesn't end with one successful shop. As your reputation and bankroll grow:
Unlock New Auction Locations: Gain access to different ports and specialized auction houses, offering higher-risk, higher-reward containers.
Expand Your Business: Acquire new, larger store locations in different parts of the city.
Reclaim New Property: Each new shop location needs your touch! You'll need to personally clean up and organize the newly acquired property before it’s ready to become your next retail hotspot.
Do you have the keen eye of a deal-maker, the steady hand of a restorer, and the business sense of a mogul? Test your skills and build a salvage empire in Salvage Shop Simulator!

Until they fix the crashes that dont just crash the game but sends my pc haywire i will not be recommending thsi game... it has potential dont get me wrong... I just cannot play more than 5 minutes before i have to restart my pc to get over its issues.
PANOWIE MACIE NIEOSZLIFOWANY DIAMENT, Gra ma ogromny potencjał, ale już zauważyłem kilka rzeczy do zmiany lub poprawy już na początku rozgrywki. 1- przy nowej grze pomieszczenie powinno być puste a nie już kilka regałów a w nich już rzeczy do sprzedania, mam wrażenie jakbym puścił save z 2h już grania a chyba każdy chce zacząć od zera sobie wszystko kupić i poustawiać. 2- nigdzie nie widzę zakładki wynajmu pracowników...? a to podstawa w symulatorach ;) 3- grafika ładna ale trzeba ją upiększyć i przede wszystkim zoptymalizować bo niby mam rtx 5070 i 160 klatek na ultra ale dziwnie czasami szarpie i klatki nie są płynne. 4- jest tam radio ale nie aktywne a przydało by się kilka utworów różnego gatunku w końcu całe życie spędzimy w sklepie. 5- grze potrzebne nowe typy licytacji, nawet kupowanie rzeczy i wycena od klientów bo to urozmaici na pewno grę. 6- wielki plus za polski język i obsługę pada ale w tablecie, menu ta strzałka kierując padem posuwa się straaaaasznie wolno, zwiększcie to albo dodajcie w ustawieniach suwak z możliwością przyspieszenia strzałki nawigacyjnej. Prócz tego dodawać nowe przedmioty, nowy kontent , usprawniać grę a jestem pewny że mimo początkowych trudności i zbombardowania ocenami negatywnymi gra się obroni i odniesie sukces więc nie poddawać się bo klimat super, podobny do storage hunter simulator ale tam gra odniosła gigantyczny sukces. Ta jest o podobnej tematyce ale ze swoimi pomysłami i innymi rozwiązaniami. Zobaczymy za kilka miesięcy co z tego wyjdzie ale macie plusa na zachętę.
Не решаются игровые проблемы,администрация не реагирует на просьбы игроков,давно нет обновлений.
Ich finde es ganz gut, bin noch am Anfang. Nur leider kann ich nicht weiter spielen, da eine Uhr im Kofferraum des Autos liegt. Ich kann sie nicht entfernen und dadurch auch keine neue Auktion annehmen. Habe schon einen Neustart versucht, die Uhr leuchtet kurz aber ich kann sie nicht nehmen.
Although I do like this game the changes they make seem to just make the game more annoying than fun. CONSTANT popups about cheap customers and your prices are a MASSIVE annoyance, and considering that prices change daily unless you go through your ENTIRE inventory each day you will be spammed with useless messages constantly, and it isn't like those messages are in the corner of your screen either, NOPE right in the middle making sure you are fully aware of the useless messages. Also the appraisal system is just an annoyance that your customers seem to be unaware of and NEVER buy the rare items at the price they are appraised at so just don't use or pay for that dumb system. This game is a long way off from being playable without pulling your hair out due to all the constant annoyances and the dumb pricing system.
Encore trop de bugs. J'ai perdu une partie parce que de par magie, lors d'une enchère, mon van c'était transformé en break et le container restait fermé. Aucunement possible de sortir de la partie via ESC. Obligé de kill le jeu. Et dans ma nouvelle partie, allez rebelotte, impossible d'entrer en mode "hôte de caisse", je ne peux pas encaisser les clients...
When i start playing the game didn’t glitch on me and the beginning of story mode didn’t freeze on me when second half of story mode completed frozen I got kicked out of the game and idk how to fix that in end had get refunded on the game
Mit dem Update vom 21.04.2026 Habe ich neu Angefangen und Habe das Gefühl die Auktionen sind noch schwierieger geworden ich würde gerne eine Positive Bewertung abgeben zurzeit geht aber nur neutral Je länger man spielt und umso mehr Geld man hat werden die auktionspreise immer teurer das wäre eigentlich kein problem wenn die anderen bieter den preis nicht ins unermessliche treiben würde und die können höher bieten als wir wir können max 100 bieten die manche 1000 Dann der komische talentbaum die hälfte davon ist nutzlos gibt exp aber keine echten vorteile und die echten vorteile 20% auf jeden verkauf scheinen nich zu funktionieren
The concept of this game is good, but there's not a great deal to it once you reach a certain point. I've played 21 hours, reached around level 43 but the achievements only unlock to level 11 with nothing further to unlock. There's some things which have frustrated me tonight so I've switched it off in anger. Items fly out of the back of your vehicle and land in the skip, so you lose money before you've even got the stuff out of the back of the van. If your prices are inadvertently too high, a huge banner appears on the screen which is right over the top of the amount of change you're supposed to be giving, it takes it's merry time to disappear. The items in the auctions are limited and the locations, so you're essentially selling the same things over and over again (boring) but the thing that annoyed me enough to switch it off? I came back from the auction with a van full of £10k items, the van was empty! Before that items had got stuck in the front of the van which can't be reached so you're just looking at them instead of selling them. Like I say, the concept is good but there's definitely some extremely annoying bugs and not much in the way of progression.
Thank you for the beautiful game. You are the best game design studio 2026
