Some of the items in there were priced higher than they were originally purchased for. Other than that, the store was clean, the staff was friendly, and everything was organized fantastically. The clothing was in great shape also which was so great to see. read more

I recently discovered Uptown Cheapskates and decided to check them out. Cheapskates kinda reminds me of Plato's Closet but way neater. I browsed the store for about 45 minutes and didn't find anything worth buying except for a tiny purse. They did have some beautiful jeans that were in really good condition, but not in my size. And a few jeans so liked that I tried on didn't fit quite right. I did notice a couple of jeans that had some stains in the front and I think that for $20 it is expensive. In my personal opinion, I feel like if you're going to sell jeans with stains on them, they should be $10 maximum. I could be wrong but I think $20 for stained jeans isn't a bargain when you can find $20 jeans at Ross or Marshalls brand new. Something doesn't seem right about some of the prices here and the same thing goes for Plato's closet. Overall, I'm glad I came in because I was able to walk out with a brand name leather crossbody purse for $12. And that was definitely a really good deal! Definitely coming back to check things out again in the near future and hope to find something that will fit well. Thanks for the dreamy bag Uptown Cheapskates! read more

Uptown Cheapskate - Leather Crossbody Bag $14.99 extra 20% final price $12! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Brought my stuff in and waited over 3 hours before I had to called to check in. Said they haven't even looked at it yet and couldn't tell me when they would be done. I brought in a massive amount of clothes and accessories so I figured it would take some time, so I didn't mind the wait. I told them I needed them done before they closed as I wouldn't be able to come back the following day however. Then magically after 5 minutes off the phone with them, they somehow have gone through everything and decided they didn't want anything. I have no idea how you can process that much clothing that fast. Feels more like they just didn't want to do it. Waste of my time, and I wouldn't recommend wasting your time here either. Better luck selling on Facebook. read more

I love coming in to this store! You never know what you're going to find and the team members are always so friendly. I have bought brand new sweaters with the tags on, really nice jeans, and a Michael Kors bag just to name a few of my finds. I have also taken several friends here and it has now become a spot we like to visit on a weekend afternoon. read more

This store offered a fair price for what they decided to purchase, $60 cash or $75 store credit. I chose $60 and then purchased two things while I was waiting. The workers are very kind and communicated the process very well, there is an option to donate anything they do not choose to purchase which saved me the trip to the arc after! HUGE selection of nice quality leggings - lululemon, athletha, and aerie. Also the store is very organized and makes shopping much easier. Will definitely come back to shop and sell any clothes in the future! read more

The staff was so friendly and helpful. We were visiting from Chicago area and sought out this place for a selection of different items than we have at home. The shoe and boot selection for occasions was really unique. read more

Ash and Carmen helped me buy and sell. Ash is always there and is so incredible making the whole process so easy. I loved that Carmen explained everything and helped me decide on what I wanted to get. I love shopping and selling here! read more

*Uptown Cheapskate* * This is a Cheap consignment clothing store located off of North Academy Road in Colorado Springs, Colorado. * DO. NOT. SHOP. AT. THIS. STORE. ...wanna know why? ...maybe hear my story a little, and hear what happened to me yesterday morning, you'll either understand or disagree, which you have all rights to choose either. Worst case scenario: you spent 5 minutes or less reading a real recent review of a clothing store. I hope this helps at least one person. STORY TIME: This 'clothing store' had a couple cute things I've bought in the past, and before yesterday, I had NEVER seen them completely deny all clothes from ANYONE. I've watched more than two homeless people come in and all their old, dirty, wrinkly clothes were accepted. The last time I came in, my Mom had come in with maybe 12 pairs of Hollister or Abercrombie or BKE (ALL good name brands and ALL clean) jeans all brand new never worn, and the human at the counter didn't take any of them, not even the ones that still had the tags on them. Why? Oh, they told my Mother that *every* pair she had brought in 'aren't stylish anymore'. Yeah, um, I'm gonna leave it at that. BUT, YESTERDAY MY DUMB AS* tried to give them a second chance after they completely disrespected my mom in a line full of customers. OK, SO, I've bought things in the past two years since they opened. I was actually one of their *very first customers* when they opened their store two summers ago. (40$ super old D&B Wallet, 28$ old pair of Vans sneakers, etc.) In the last year especially, I know it's been a financial struggle to survive for literally almost everybody on Earth. Obviously, including me. If you love your clothes and take care of them, you are just like me. I love cute (and sometimes very expensive) clothes. It is my weakness and downfall, probably always will be. I love my favorite name brands and the items from their collections or fashion lines. That's why I take damn good care of my things and honestly it's REALLY hard for me to get rid of the really nice stuff I never really wore because I didn't want to mess it up. On that note; I have accumulated so many beautiful things over the years that simply don't fit me anymore, but STILL look and feel BRAND SPANKING NEW. Yesterday morning I walked in (was not greeted) and it looked like they had just about finished a homeless lady's 3 black trash bags stuffed full of damp and dirty looking stuff. A girl comes up to me and takes my bag of beloved items and says she will call me up in 20-30 minutes and give me an estimate or what they will or won't take. About 7 minutes later, I hear her call me up to the counter. I happily walk up; because I had started a dressing room and was getting ready to try some jeans on and actually buy stuff. The girl told me "Ummm Yeeah we just can't accept any of these items because of their quality". I think my eyes almost popped out of my skulll. "Umm, Yeahhh. Can you simply show me even one item that your store wouldn't accept because 'of their quality'?" I asked with curiosity. She pulls out a black/grey/blue snakeskin printed silky tank top. "This one." She says. "What's wrong with it?" I asked. She said "The print, we just wouldn't sell that here." She snapped at me while chewing her gum. "So, you're telling me, you guys cannot or do not sell anything that looks like snake skin?" She stayed SILENT. I pulled out a lavdender dress with lace at the top that had never been worn before. I asked her, "What about this one? can you tell me what's wrong with this one?" She just stared at me. Then she stared at the dress anf started going inch by inch over the whole thing, doesn't find anything wrong, so she looks at the tag. "Oh, we don't sell 'No Boundaries" here." She snarled at me. "So, you're telling me that if that tag wasn't there, you would take it?" At this point a very face pierced person with hot pink eye shadow came in and said that I had to leave. When I got into the car, I looked in the bag and noticed, more than half of the clothes were still folded and put the same way I had left them. I had a pair of 'Miss Me' jeans & a pair of 'Rock 'n' Revival' jeans that she obviously hadn't even seen or unfolded. She didn't even look through my effing bag. And IM THE BAD GUY who gets kicked out for being SO CONFUSED? like WHAT?????? If you don't want to deal with basically rude wierd human robots, do yourself a favor, don't waste your time. Sincerely, L.S. p.s. sorry I typed this really fast so if you have any comments or questions please feel free to reach out! read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but yesterday's experience at Uptown was hands down the worst. Not only did they ignore shoppers, and loudly talk amongst themselves, but after calling ahead and inquiring as to what they would actually consider buying before driving 45 minutes to them, they spent less than 5 minutes pretending to look through my bags of name brand items(Tory Birch, Calvin Klein, Polo, etc.) While complaining about having to check bags, before offering me nothing. read more

DO NOT TAKE CLOTHES HERE. I've taken 4-5 trash bags and bins into this place, full of new, on trend clothes and received pathetic compensation. less than $20 every. single. time. this past time, i gave an expensive jacket, they said they didn't take it. two weeks later? on the shelf for $35. read more

Unexpected find! Good selection of clothing for all ages, great prices and super nice associates. Had a wonderful experience checking out. He was so unique and refreshing! Sorry I didn't get his name but He was styled like Prince :) see ya next trip! read more

Kind and helpful staff. You get a fair amount for what you bring in (go in person to see what they take and how they price beforehand so you know what to expect.) Clean and organized product. read more

the store itself was clean and organized well. they have a few nice staff members but i didnt have great experiences with the others. i walked in with a very large bin of clothes with brand new jeans and good brands (like lululemon shorts) and they only bought 5 things (not including said shorts) and i received only 20 dollars. they told me it would take 20-25 minutes to sort through my stuff and they called me up after only 5 minutes. the majority of my clothes were left how i folded them. i was browsing the store while they were looking through my clothes and i could hear them openly making fun of the clothes i brought in from across the store. the staff in general talk very noisy amongst themselves and don't ask if they can help me. one of the girls working there is great however. she was very personable and super sweet. she would be the only reason i come back. i would rather go to plato's. read more

I don't normally provide negative reviews, I took in easily 1k worth of high quality barely worn clothes got 8 dollars back and what wasn't taken was "misplaced in the donations" also super young people working with no quality service to provide or guidance to what they are doing. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED read more

My mom is in town visiting so we went out shopping with her, my aunt, & little cousin (14). My aunt and cousin were school clothes shopping when my cousin found a pair of shoes on the ground with no one around. She tried them on, and they fit so when she went to try on some clothes in the dressing room, she took them OFF and with her into the dressing room with her mom as one does when they find a product that they like when shopping. Apparently, some guy with his daughter set the shoes down and left them alone, but wanted them. He made the whole staff search for them, and the staff went around eyeing everyone and their belongings. The dad became increasingly more and more hostile, shouting that "he knew they were in the dressing room," bullying my young cousin and aunt into trying to hide in hopes that they just left. After TWENTY minutes, they came out of the dressing room, and the staff immediately went into the dressing room to see if the shoes were there. There were no apologies to my family for the grown man and staff intimidating them into giving up shoes he left on the ground. We all had clothes we were intending on purchasing, but after how they were treated and how the staff looked over everyone and their items, we put our stuff down and left. On a side note, $48 for used lulu leggings that are clearly worn out is insane. The deals are few & far in between for a 2nd hand store. read more

This is my new most favorite second hand store! They have fantastic selections, pricing is good, the store is clean and well laid out. I highly recommend this store. read more
