Shopping Tips

  • Visit midweek if you can — Monday through Wednesday tends to bring freshly added inventory and lighter foot traffic, giving you first access to new arrivals before the weekend crowd.
  • Don't overlook the furniture and larger pieces; RVA Antiques often carries items that would cost significantly more at vintage or antique specialty shops elsewhere in the Richmond area.
  • Come with an open mind and flexible measurements — bring your room dimensions if you're hunting for furniture, since good pieces move quickly.
  • Check back regularly, even if you've visited recently; the inventory at RVA Antiques shifts often enough that a return trip within the same month can feel like a completely different store.
  • Strike up a conversation with staff — experienced secondhand shoppers know that the people working the floor often know what's just come in or what's tucked in less-obvious spots.
