So I hate fast fashion. 95% of my clothes, shoes, accessories, and even furniture are second hand because I'm trying real hard to not leave a large carbon footprint behind. Unfortunately it's really hard to only buy second hand and still look cute, the local thrift stores had really been disappointing me and my wardrobe has been shrinking as of late. And then I found this shop. I love it here. I spent $200 and now I have an entire new (to me) wardrobe. read more

I tried to sell some clothes and they tried to scam me. very unprofessional they have teenager running the stores with their policies. you might as well give your clothes to goodwill for a better cause then giving it to them here for the little amount of money they want to sell it for. read more

Loved the variety they had, service was ok I asked about sale and didn't know about it, showed text discount. But other that friendly and store is very well organized and clean. Fitting rooms are spacious the whole lighting in there is preety. Selection of all type of cloths was found from dresses to office clothing and value with extra discounts saved me some dollars. Found some of my favorite brands too read more

Over 400 articles of clothing 1/4th had never been worn, another 1/4th had only been worn once, and they only wanted to give me $5 for it. They must have some GOOD crack that they are smoking in the back... or the employees are too lazy to do thier jod. read more

Low ball offers for sellers and the woman's plus size selection is none existing . plus size doesn't stop at size 18.

I've only been once but you can find amazing things if you look! They have a separate section for designer clothing that is fantastic. It's surprisingly well priced considering the clothing is quality and name brand. You get great value for your money. The service was friendly and I was asked many times if I could be assisted. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

I'm not a typical thrift shopper but when it comes to this place I live the vibe, the staff is so welcoming and friendly and there's so many great finds that are great quality 10/10 recommend! read more

This place is just a "maybe" for me. They have a decent selection, a number of items I looked at had rips or stains. It requires a significant amount of time looking through racks and racks to find worthy items. Prices are varied, some are a steal and others arent worth this. Regarding the buying process, they are relatively quick (~30 minutes on busy days) but the value is questionable. $37 in store credit for three like new Lululemon items. If you opt for cash the pay is 20% less ($30). Staff is kind during check out, and purchase. Pretty repetitive like they're not listening, but alas. read more

Decent selection. I didn't find what I was looking for but I did find some tops for good prices.

Love Uptown! A Momma on a budget appreciates great affordable prices for Name brand items. Makes it affordable for me to stay up to date with my wardrobe whilst also finding unique Zara clothing. Our Teen daughter also love this store. read more

Great experience at Uptown Cheapskate on North Mesa Street. Staff was friendly and great service!

I always love popping into second hand shops, but almost never find anything I like. This was not the case at uptown cheapskate. I was actually almost overwhelmed by the selections. Everything was in great condition, very on trend, styled beautifully throughout the store. I went back to the fitting room three times. Prices were about what I expect for second hand, and I will definitely be back for more! read more

Great selection lots to choose from. Has some name brands. Some things are a little pricey for used clothes. But check it out.

This place is awesome. I always find some funky, fabulous, fun outfit to wow my students with. Prices are great. Variety is slammin. Love it! read more

Very organized little thrift shop . I like that the young ladies working dressing room don't mind letting you in the dressing room .. no eye rolling or the such. A lot of good deals on stuff that still have a lot of life in them. read more

I definitely Love Uptown Cheapskate . Great deals and top shelf inventory . There is something for everyone at Uptown Cheapskate

Im coming back from Yelp retirement just for this review. It is held to a certain standard because "up scale" brands are sold. This is a hyped thrift shop, a version of GameStop when it comes to brining in your clothing for store credit or money. The customer service is below value of treatment to the consumer/customer. The policy that is in place requires one of two options stay in the store for about thirty minutes and wait for the offer on your items. Either cash or store credit. Or leave for an estimate that can take up to two hours. Leaving requires your signature that you will accept whatever money they decide correct for they they will buy from you. The rest of the items will be donated to other agencies. There is no garante that even a large quantity or clothing will result in just one dollar of pay out. You won't know what items are kept or donated. Your items should be taken in disposable bags or boxes, which is not stated. Those are just my two cents on their two cents. read more

Easy walkways, accessible products. Quick customer service! I went in to purchase fragrances. Love their oil fragrances! Great, stop and shop! read more

Uptown Cheapskate is what a city girl needs to keep up with fashionable clothing but doesn't want to break the bank. Purses and shoes are club scene worthy. It's a great store for the treasure hunters. read more

My daughter needed to leave without trying on her clothes. Doing so would have had her in a long line and she needed to go. No bathroom. Some clothing didn't fit and was returned 2-3 days later. They DO NOT give refunds. Store credit only. HORRIBLE policy. Do not shop here. read more

Best consignment store I've ever been in! I had a lot of unwanted clothes that I had accumulated and decided to sell my clothes here. Walked in on Saturday at 11:30 am and was quickly helped by the friendly employee. She explained to me how the selling process worked, and told me it would be about a 3 to 4 hour wait, or that I had three days to come back and pick up my unwanted items. In the meantime I looked around and was surprised to see how organized and clean the store was. The store itself did not have the "thrift store" smell that all the other consignment stores that I have been in have. I found some cute items that I decided to buy. I found a cute swimsuit for $12 and a nice dress shirt that I found in the clearance section for the hubs for $1.75!!!! Yes!! They also have clearance sections and the clothing items that are there have a percent discount on top of the already cheap prices!!! They ended up buying 36 of my clothing items and I had the option of store credit or cash. They were giving me $105 in store credit and $85 cash.. I'm very happy with the great customer service, how easy the selling process is, and how clean the store was. There are a ton of name brand items here and the quality is great! Definitely will be back! read more

The cloths here are super fashionable and inexpensive. They have so much variety and I got everything I needed and more. The staff is super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend!! read more

Large selection, good brands but the prices gave me tj maxx vibes and I felt like I could just by it new. You can sell your clothes, similar to a Plato's closet. If you are trying to save some $$ this is great but it's not on my list of my fav thrift stores in the area read more

Lots of good clothes for men! The shoes are not half bad and the handbags too! My only complaint is that the women's section had more variety for SMALL whereas the medium and large was OKAY. Will try again but please include more variety for all sizes!! read more

They had a nice selection of accessories and bags. Super chill spot that I will return for.

Probably one of the tidiest, well assorted gently used clothing shops I've seen! I like how super cheap and reasonable the prices are and the many different style clothing they have for men amd women. Naturally, there is a ton more to offer on the women's side but the setup for the men is still very extensive! I am thoroughly impressed. I think my favorite part of the place is how they also have an excellent set up for their fitting rooms. There were a good amount of them and they had door types, not just curtains. I also absolutely love how a part of their proceeds go to a better cause, and with each purchase, they give you a token to choose 1 of the few charitiea or foundations they donate to. That is so humble! Definitely my new favorite thrift shop! read more

This place is shady and disgusting. That take your clothes, tell you that's it's worth nothing, while the staff is laughing, (while you're there)because they just put your lululemon stuff up for sale. read more

I normally shop at UpTown and recommend it to alot of friends ! But today's experience was terrible even after receiving help from the "manger" who took zero accountability for her actions and didn't make us feel understood or valued as a customer at all. I was charged an extra 15$ that was incorrectly put into the computer, the cashier double checked the receipt and then finalized the purchase and said I was free to go. She charged me an extra 15$ and was about to knowingly let me walk out the door . I caught it and went back to let her know , instead of reducing me or just canceling that one item completely she had to cancel the whole purchase and re charged everything , normally I don't mind but it was such a busy day I was in a rush and there was just little to zero care about my time and the fact that I was charged 15$ incorrectly and they were about to let it slide . Even after speaking to the manager she kept saying "yes I'm sorry" and that's it , she didn't care to learn more about what happened for fix the issue , she was ready to let us leave confused and unsatisfied . Very sad to hear the management and employee does not value or care for customers to admit when they've made a mistake and do the easiest thing possible to fix it and make sure the customer has an enjoyable experience. Will not be giving my services money or recommendations to this company or location anymore . What do you think ? read more

Horrible service. First the staff was horrible and lying about who the manager was. I took four XL trash bags filled with clothes, shoes, and purses. Some stuff still had the price tags on them. I did the leave and come back option & donate all the unsellable stuff to charity & when they emailed me my receipt they were only giving me $5. Said they were stocked up on inventory and could only buy 1 item. And that the rest of my stuff was already donated to charity. (Mind you this was 2hrs after I dropped off the stuff.) It was a huge rip off. If you want to sell your stuff go to another side of town maybe the workers are different but not the one on Mesa. They never mentioned they were full on inventory which I believe they should mention before agreeing to donating the left over items. The manager (whoever that is because they kept lying) was absolutely no help. Do not go here trust me not fair nor friendly at all. read more

Great variety of clothes and shoes that are very well organized, friendly employees and decent prices. Will definitely be back soon!

Uptown cheapskate has the buy back policy rigged to their total advantage . They expect you to wait whatever time they deem necessary no matter how inconvenient for the seller. It seems that they would like you to spend money in their store. If you have to leave their policy is that you can not refuse their offer no matter what. Also you have to make a trip back to their store that day to pick up any items you may not want donated. It's just not fair or friendly whatsoever. I'm sure it's good for their profit margins. read more

Extremely impressive! I've been to second-hand shops in NY, Northern Virginia, and Chicago, and this is by far the chicest most hip second-hand boutique (not shop) I've been to. The owns & her staff have been extremely friendly & wanting to help consumers that enter the boutique. There are actual dressing rooms to try clothes on. The hangars are their signature hangars & not your standard wire hangars, they actually have signature bags for your purchases, and they have clothes and jewelry that are brand new, never worn. Walking in, one would think this was an upscale department store. Another outstanding marketing concept they've incorporated is to have an 'awards program'! What a grand way to get return customers, & customers love discounts! Their Grand Opening was such a successful turn-out, that I will return when U can browse through every clothes rack! This is definitely a must for all to experience...an upscale second-hand boutique! read more

This is the best second-hand shop I've found in El Paso! Back in Massachusetts, there is a very vibrant second-hand scene, with everything from the casual to the very formal. I hadn't yet found anything like that in El Paso, but Uptown Cheapskate changed that! I love second-hand shops, but am very picky about them. I will not buy from them if their clothes are not up to par with what I could find on sale at a store, so when I say I'm looking for gently used clothes, I do mean VERY gently used. Oftentimes the things I come home with actually still have tags on them! Everything must be impeccably clean--I don't want there to be even the faintest scent of perfume, etc. on the clothes. Essentially, I am the kind of second-hand shopper who is looking for new clothes that were bought, and just never really worked out for their former owner. Uptown Cheapskate is this kind of place! I went in to browse this past Saturday, and ended up leaving with 4 shirts (2 new with tags) and a pair of sunglasses. The Shirts ranged from $2 - $10, and the sunglasses were $10. Two of my shirts were brands I know and love (Banana Republic and J.Crew) and two were not known to me. Two of them still had the original tags on them, too! There was a huge selection of merchandise, with many different styles and sizes. I saw prices that ranged from $1 - $2 up to $30 or so, for some handbags, etc. I didn't take hours to look around, but in the 25 minutes or so that I was there, I was very pleasantly surprised. Bonus: They will let you forgo a plastic shopping bag, and instead, donate the price of the bag (5 cents) to the charity of your choice, by placing a token in one of three "Charity Bins." I used mine for the El Paso Humane Society! Gotta love a great business that does good for the environment and for animals! read more

So it was my first time selling and I am not sure will be my future(50/50). It's a half and half feeling. The place is nice and neat, the staffs are okay, not too welcoming but not too rude either which was fine to me as long as I get my business done. The price is not too fair for me but understandable that they need to make profit as well, and on my side I definitely not needing those items anymore, so getting a little back is a plus. But the thing that irked me was how do they know what items are and aren't accept to be resale? Because I've seen worst conditions clothes compared to the ones I brought. I barely wear clothes for more than 3 times, so most of them are either new or excellent condition. So it'd be best for them to let the clients know why they denied the clothes. So next time we will know what not to bring. Because if I come to that store and see my dined clothes which I decide to let them donate to charity on the sale racks, I'd be really really upset. read more

I have tried for years to enjoy this store. However, for one they take the ugliest things but when you try to sell clothes they take next to nothing and give you cents. Secondly, I dropped clothes off recently, it wasn't ready within the time frame they gave me and I had to go out of town for a family emergency. I had my friend pick up the money they gave for my clothes (which they only give 3 days to do so, otherwise what? Do they keep your money and your clothes???) and I told they they could donate the rest (I don't doubt that they keep it and just resell it) but I wanted my bags back. They SPECIFICALLY asked if I wanted to donate the bags and I said NO. Why not put that as a note???? They kept my Nike duffle bag (worth around $50) and my Baggu tote bag (which if you know they're also not cheap tote bags) and when I finally came back and realized they never gave her the bags I called them and they said they donated it.... When it's not theirs to donate because I NEVER GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO DONATE THOSE BAGS. They did nothing to help and just said "we donated them because they were forgotten". It's not yours to decide???? I sold and donated hundreds of dollars worth of clothes and shoes and in return I got $50 and my bags stolen from me:) if they were really bothered by it being there they should have given me a call and double checked to confirm if they could donate something that was mine that did not have permission or consent to be donated. read more

The staff is super rude! I asked to see some items in the window and they acted super rude as if I was a pain for requesting it. Every time I ask something I received bad looks from all of them. The store is super nice and clean but they should change their people. read more

The customer service needs improvement There is a lady that works there which seems to hate her job and she is very rude.

I was expecting there to be a huge mess after they reopened but it was very clean. Compared to other thrift stores, I was able to browse without having to sift through crowded hangers or misplaced clothes. read more

Great stylish finds at great prices! Good variety and selection of items in great condition. 10/10 recommend.

I do like what this place has to offer. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that I was denied the restroom. I asked to use the restroom while shopping and was told there were no public restrooms and I would need to go next door to Fahrenheit Ice cream shop to use the restroom. I've never been to a business that didn't allow customers to use their restrooms. read more
