First visit to this store. They have great clothes and decent prices. I felt some items were overpriced. I will definitely return in the future when I have more time to try things on. I was able to find two hoodies that I love. They have a rewards program, so be sure to sign up. The store was clean and inviting. 1/29/26 read more

I really wanted to like this store. I gave it several chances and visited multiple times before writing this review. While they have a large selection of clothing, frequent new inventory, and a staff that has generally been friendly, the overall experience has been disappointing. The biggest issue is the lack of quality control. On my most recent visit, I purchased two shirts and a pair of shorts. One of the shirts had a terrible odor that didnt bother me at first but I noticed it a lot more when I got home. Even after washing it, the smell wouldn't come out. In fact, it became even stronger in the heat - it smelled like a mix of cigarette smoke and mildew. It's so bad it's unwearable. Really wanted to like it too. The shorts were another disappointment. They were sold to me with the security tag still attached. Since I needed them for the weekend, I tried removing the magnetic tag myself rather than making another trip to the store. Unfortunately, the tag broke and ended up damaging the shorts, leaving them unwearable. To make matters worse, the cashier also didn't honor the advertised 30% discount on shorts. I didn't notice until after the transaction, which only added to my frustration. The only reason I'm not giving this store one star is because I did find one shirt that I genuinely liked. Every once in a while, you can come across a good find, and the prices aren't outrageous. However, between the inconsistent quality, items being sold in poor condition, forgotten security tags, and advertised discounts not being honored, I can't recommend shopping here. There are better thrift stores that offer more reliable quality and a better overall experience. read more

I brought in several articles of clothing for resale. They were highbrow alternative and vintage items. Some of the stuff included hardly worn plus size steel-boned corsets, TUK Creepers, and a vintage coat. It was two younger women working whom clearly didn't bother even googling my items. They also told me to "come back closer to Halloween" even though those items are quality "everyday" wear for alternative people. If you're going to be accepting resale, it's probably a good idea to educate your buyers about the various styles and brands that exist outside of their own recognition. I've always recommended Uptown Cheapskate to others for buying and selling. Now, I feel alienated as a customer, plus sized woman, and alternative person. read more

sorry what I once thought was agood place to shop I have to say I will not be back .I get the fact they have to make money so they offer pennies for your item but wore is how they treat people s if they are doing you a favor offering you disgusting offer and than putting own your items as they have things in far worse condition on the floor ,The fill a bag events are a joke . The staff well I will not get into that as some are very nice while a few are very snooty ........Again I will not be back as it is not the welcoming store it had once been I get the fact they need to make money but the attitude of a few ....I rather not be exposed to it . read more

Ok this is a really nice second store. It's all name brands for the low low. If you have the patients to Fidel through all of the items you can find a good bargain. They have a lot of great purses for ladies who are into purses. I know people who shop here and always recommend this place so I thought I'd stroll through there while I was waiting for my food and I did see a lot of brands that I would normally select. The employees were nice and friendly and seemed to be smiling the entire time. I just wish the store was bigger so I didn't feel a squished. read more

Went in today with two large totes and went home with almost all of what I brought in and a $19 dollar store credit for the 5 items they bought. I'm reading some of these reviews that are low and I just have to say that this is pretty unfair. If you're not happy with the offer they make just go elsewhere or sell the item online. These guys are running a business let's be kind and understand that they don't need or want everything we have to offer. I left today with my two containers that I will be donating to the red, white and blue thrift shop on 50th. Zero hurt feelings. The service is always great and the staff is always incredibly kind! read more

My SO and I frequented Marshall's and this store was never in our radar. Until recently when we went to T-Mobile and this store caught our attention. Out of curiosity, we went it and we were very surprised that this store existed. I talked to a nice lady who said this store has been there for 3 years now. Wow!!! I could have been selling or traded some of my branded items. Now that I have learned about this place, I will surely come back. They have a pretty good selection of clothes, shoes, and purses. Prices are very reasonable and they look great. Recommended. Happy thrifting read more

Horrible Customer Service Haft to wait in line for an extra 20 mins after getting a text message saying the items that I brought in were ready.

They're incredibly stingy with the amount of money you're given for items your selling, I had a hoodie worth $60 dollars alone with some other things and even shoes and all together only got 25 DOLLARS!! If you're trying to sell your stuff for a reasonable price don't go here read more

Love this store! I'm enjoying taking items a couple times a month to sell! For me it's a great way to downsize the massive amount of clothes I have. Getting cash is so helpful! Or store credit! Whatever works for you! I've been selling misc cool stuff for decades, and time to let go of the stuff I have that didn't sell that I can't use. The owners are so knowledgeable, cool, and just sweet! It is just beautiful the way they've styled the store! Very fair and reasonable prices! read more

I love shopping here the selection is always really good and the owner is super friendly and helpful. read more

It's weird to lie and your store texts the offer amounts lol but as another customer stated , you're trying to to save face which is okay. You devote a lot of energy to the people who've left you one star (as I am not the only one) . I hope you use the reviews to improve your service rather than deny you need improvement. Every customer has had their own experience in your store, some better than others. My experience was unfortunate but I hope for better for everyone else as I hope you fix the issues that have been mentioned . read more

I brought in designer shoes (boots) all are designer. My first experience was great but I was also dealing with the owner who knew her business. I was told by the owner to bring back the Fall/winter items around this time, and they only took one item. He did't tell me which and gave me $9 and was rude. Told me because of condition??? Ha! I'd rather sell on Posh. read more

Value . Prices selection! Great location and service! Value . Prices selection! Great location and service!

They certainly live up to their name, they act "Uptown" like while being "Cheapskates" on what they pay (if they even buy your clothes) When this place first opened, I loved it! It was a good way to get rid of unwanted clothes, which would then be purchased and used by someone else, thus discontinuing fashion waste. But...it seems like their mission has changed. Helping the environment? Yeah right! Only if the clothes that you attempt to sell are in fashion this week. I'm very disappointed and will never again sell or buy anything from this hoity-toity store. So unless you're a fashionista that partakes in fast fashion and have clothes that are in fashion that week that you sell them, I don't recommend buying or selling anything here. read more

I actually found this place via Yelp as I was looking somewhere new and near by to sell my clothes. It's not really near by where I live but headed this was was last traffic then going to the valley. I actually called before hand to see how long the wait was and how the process worked and the lady I talked to was super helpful and descriptive, I forgot her name but she actually helped with my buy when I came in. You sign in on an iPad with your phone number and if you're new like me you just make an account and then they check you in. If you stay in the store while waiting for your buy they'll get to it quicker rather than dropping it off and coming back. I brought a tote bag of items and they took a decent amount of them. It wasn't much for what I got but I feel like if you bring in more designer pieces you'll get more for your buck. Also if you decided to take trade (store credit) they offer that as well instead of cash. They had racks and racks of clothing both men and women but mainly woman. Prices are good, even on the designer and higher end items. They have items for all styles so you'll be sure to find something you like. I didn't end up leaving with anything this visit but I'm sure it'll happen the next time I come in to sell. read more

Thank you for opening up a buy buy and sell store in our area. A lot of people still unaware of away in which they can serve the community and repurpose clothing while also making a profit instead of just donating it all I do wish you had a better vintage section though Maybe you will soon thanks again read more

The staff are very authentically nice. Very sweet. Each person there is a treat to deal with. All so very friendly and helpful

Uptown CheapSkake is amazing all around, staff is cool, very welcoming to customers! So much selection with value thats great.

Place is legit. Always new inventory and interesting pieces to choose from. Owner is cool..

I always have a wonderful experience when I visit this store. I haven't been here for awhile due to health issues but I was greeted like always. Everyone was so sweet and happy to see me. I also bought some great clothes. I bought a huge bag of vintage and designer names for 100.00. These clothes would have cost 300.00 anywhere else. I have really missed shopping here and can't wait to come back and get more. There were so much to see and the store was beautiful ​ read more

Your rebuttal to my review is just that a rebuttal to save face in front of your customers. I get it , however making false statements that I apologize and for what reason that your establishment was in fact unprofessional? The conduct that you're approving says a lot about how this business is conducted. Please review your employees and as a group you as well take a course in customer service and I'm sure you just may be successful in the near future. Shame On You and how you made false statements about my wife . You are no longer allowed to do business with our friends and family and you shall be blocked from all on facebook and Instagram. This establishment buys used and unused clothing. However be advised that when you're selling your items after clearing your closet this establishment is extremely selective as to what they feel is reasonable regardless if your items have tags. Dealing with the store employees especially when the employee makes you aware that her mother is the owner, depicting how entitled she is which is so unprofessional. This makes one feel that they're belittling you as unimportant and that you need them more than they need you. I tried to overlook this fact but only to confirm my viewpoint when being offered $49 dollars for 16 items that are above fair condition. I requested if their offer could be rounded up by one dollar and they said offers are final (regardless if appraisals are off). I almost took their offer except for the refusal of giving 4 quarters more to make it an even 50 dollars. This showed me that customer are not their priority. This review is not meant for the employees and is only meant for the store owner to adjust the stores core mission statement. If you see positive reviews it's most likely family or friends of this location. read more

Do you enjoy being insulted while shopping for clothes? Then this place is for you! From the moment I walked in, it was clear the staff had mistaken the store for their personal hangout. i was never welcomed in literally backs were turned towards me no one said hello or offered to help me. I was met with eye rolls and sighs when I dared to ask a question. The clothes were okay, but honestly, the terrible service overshadowed everything. It's very hurtful I love shopping at family owned businesses but this one is not a very welcoming family. Save yourself the grief and shop elsewhere. read more

I simply walked into this establishment, I've been here a couple of times to show my support for this community clothing center but this time was different. I got a pair of shoes as a gift but they were not in my size, they were way too big. After trying them on , I never wore them again. I decided to finally give them up and possibly receive some Spare money , so I came to uptown cheapskate. The name says it all , I talked to the lady upfront , they had me log into a tablet then told me to wait for a couple of minutes. The woman returned and called me to the front, saying they had an offer for me. I want you to imagine in your mind a decent pair of barely worn shoes , that still had that brand new shoe smell , you're probably thinking I would get somewhere around twenty to thirty dollars because the brand is Nike. I was anticipating a good deal then she opened her mouth and said , " TEN DOLLARS " , my face was absolutely gobsmacked. I decided to keep the shoes , so if you want a good deal , just go anywhere else. read more

Wanted to love this place, but I have been in a few times now and had the same overall impression. Items are overpriced. A friend brought her items in to trade in and they really low ball you only to list them high. I guess that's the name of the game, but feels yuck. Staff could also be more welcoming. read more

Great staff. Love bringing in the clothes I don't wear anymore. Always a fair offer, and also a nicely curated selection of items to buy.

Love this place! So glad I decided to finally stop by. All the products look brand new or gently used and the prices are to be expected. They have so many name brands as well as items from target, SHEIN, and forever 21. The staff was also super friendly and let us know about deals currently going on! Such a gem. read more

They had an amazing sale going on for the winter items with lots of selection. People are always very friendly and welcoming.
