I arrived to a warehouse that used to be abandoned. It is now cleaned up and full of stuff. Any kind of stuff you can imagine. I went in looking for a door and that have a whole enormous and long isle of doors organized very well and lit even better (motion sensor lights to conserve electricity). I didnt buy a door as the average was fifty dollars but I found some light switch covers and a lamp for a dollar and twenty six dollars for the marble looking lamp. The lamp is somewhat damaged at the bottom so one should probably check whatever they buy to see if they agree with its condition. They have a ton of items. All seem to be recycled and/or antiques. I could spend way more time in there and spend a paycheck or two more. I thought it is great that someone decided to buy one of these warehouses and repurpose it. There are so many opportunities for gentrification in the city of Jacksonville Florida.

To begin let me say that this place does have a lot to offer and the staff is very nice but the problem is that they dont know what items they have, or how to price them. This is a salvage operation yet they consistently price items at retail. I have visited eco relics over a dozen times and they consistently dont know their inventory, prices, or what the items even are. If you make the mistake of telling them what the item youre interested in is then they will just check eBay and google for prices and charge you retail. Ridiculous. Especially when the very same item is on the shelf priced at half what you are quoted on check out. It is really a shame. I have given this establishment the benefit of the doubt on more than several occasions and continue to be let down. There are better deals to be had if you are willing to look and I would encourage you to look elsewhere.

one worker said a item on a not priced yet shelf wasnt for sale and after an explaination walked away. Another guy asked husband if we needed help and he told the worker about the box he gave me a price. When the first worker noticed me carrying the item she went to the office to tattle. The owner was ok with the sale but, the lady taking the money acted like I was stealing it from her baby. So, for a $7 item, that I would have let them keep had my sweet husband not been there, we wont be back to buy the new-old front door or windows he had planned to get. Had fun first visit bought some stuff I still havent found a real use for yet, all the staff was great that time which is why 2 stars.

The Manager decided today to ask me to show him I.D. saying that he wanted to know if the Credit Card I tendered to pay for my purchase was mine. I know that anyone can use a valid Credit Card to make a purchase. The Manager was rude and disrespectful. He singled out some customers to ask for I.D. Shame!. Eco Relics has changed and the current Manager has to be replaced. Eco Relics Manager of July 12th. 2017 turned his back to this customer to show "Manager" on his back. Rude and unprofessional. I have done business with Eco Relics for some time, even donating two hot tub shells to the store, and I never felt disrespected by any other employees. Eco Relics is on the way out of business.

Went once, never again. Extremely overpriced, trying to sell so-called rare antiques at above retail prices. Many of the antiques are in poor condition yet they are still marked with ridiculous prices well over their actual value. Rude owner and manager who only seem to care about the almighty buck. Dont waste your time here, youll do much better on ebay where you can make offers on items and get them for much lower prices than ecorelics. For large salvage I would go to another salvage yard, they will not bargain at ecorelics. Overrated, overpriced and overbearing owner. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

The warehouse is huge, and the staff is very friendly with a good sense of humor. They have just about anything you could ever want lumber wise, with huge slabs of different cuts of trees taking up a good portion of the store. They have lots of old doors, marble counters, bathroom fixtures, and even claw foot bath tubs. docked off a star because the smaller things and trinkets are pretty pricey, and the warehouse is pretty dusty, but its a cool place to wander and check out the old stuff. I would highly recommend if youre looking for somewhere to get nice, huge slabs of lumber from.

The staff is great and very helpful. I found the prices for the things I was looking for to be pretty fair. They have a bit of pretty much everything, from bakelite, to old records, old sewing patterns, fabric, house fixtures, very interesting decor pieces. I love the old wood that they have, and have made a beautiful desk from the old barn wood. From my 40s apron patterns,to the old hollywood movie prints, its hard for me not to pick something up whenever I go. When it comes time to update my backyard, I know where Ill be going. Its also a great place to find a gift.

The staff is so friendly, Nate & Shannon were AWESOME! Owner..... Not so much. She was so rude! So rude! Her prices are so high. I was inquiring about a vintage lion, asked about price and if it was firm or not she quoted one price and when I told her that her staff quoted another she smugly and rudely stated she owned the place and what she says goes, and she overrides what they said. I left my items right on the counter along with her business card. Totally rude and Im an antique dealer and word travels fast. This place is not worth the drive.

We have purchased many items for our 115 year old house at Eco relics. Our latest purchase was two really old 5 panel doors for a den that were only $125 each for solid wood doors. Lowes price for 2 solid wood doors was around $700. Big savings and the doors match the style of our home so much better than something new. Also, this place is massive. If you cant find what you are looking for just ask one of the many helpful employees and they will help you find it. Love this place.

If youre looking for antiques, expect to pay antique store prices. This isnt the place I go to find a bargain for things to repurpose to resell. The prices are too high. Some of the building supplies and such are a little cheaper and they do have a lot of variety.Management will work with you on things and are very helpful. Their front desk cashier can be pretty rude though.

Great place to walk around the staff is awesome and super helpful. You can find amazing things if your into DIY just be prepared to pay! The owner lady is a bit rude and not very helpful at all. Not sure what her deal is. If only the owner had the same attitude of the staff this place would be incredible. Other than that really an amazing place to shop.

Place full of over priced junk, if you do find something nice. Its going to cost you an arm and a leg to get it. Went to get a fire place mantel and they wanted $450 for a white beat up one, then they had one for 199.00 but as soon as I touch it, It started falling apart. Will never be back, I will take my chances on Craigslist before I go back.
