Junkology Thrift Store & Goodies — Local services in Truth or Consequences

Places like Junkology and people like Dave, the owner, are becoming increasingly rare in my experience of traveling across this country. This shop is full of art by local artists (both current and historic), antiques, collectibles, local gems, curiosities, hand-made items, vintage Americana, an excellent record collection, and some crazy junk!

The place is , sight to behold and an experience not to be missed, whether you are staying in TorC or just passing through.

However, the best part about Junkology is Dave. He is a warm, genuine, witty, and engaging guy. He has amazing stories to tell, decades of experience as a "junkologist", and a devoted and well-loved resident of TorC.

There are many of us who set out on the open road searching for what remains of unique small businesses that reflect the specific character and culture of their town and authentic, quality human beings who are interested and interesting - people who care about what they do, who they are, their town, and their customers, old and new.

I could not love this place any more than I do! This magical moment in time is literally WHY I travel....

Last month, my husband and I visited Truth or Consequences, NM for our anniversary. We had recently seen a YouTube video where the vlogger visited Junkology and had a memorable encounter with the owner, Dave. We were so intrigued that we stopped by when we arrived in T or C. Dave was there and we told him the story and he immediately remembered the vlogger. He chatted with everyone in such a comfortable and organic way, that the experience was as much the super cool shop as it was its owner. He's a storyteller and shared some great memories tied to some of the items in his shop. There were treasures in every nook and cranny of his store, and in the conversations we had while there. We walked away with smiles on our faces and a piece of art for our home. It's definitely worth a visit! -Kimberly...

You would think a place named “Junkology” would have some fairly decent prices for what they sell… I mean they have the word “junk” in their business name. So it baffles me everything in this cobweb filled store is so overpriced. From used bongs, cobwebbed lamps and used guitars I don’t think I saw a decent price for any of this stuff. Walking around you have to be careful to not step on any of the clutter. I get it, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. But you’re not selling treasure! It’s called Junkology for a reason so I don’t get why a store filled with cobwebs would sell used...
