Such a cute store! Went in to take a peak, walked out with four awesome summer outfits! Great selection! Clean and organized. Look for Ziggy and I think her name was Shanelle? So helpful and sweet! read more

I called in first to see the process about selling clothes and if it was okay to come in and they said yes. I came in to Uptown Cheapskate for the first time today to sell some of my clothes, shoes, and purses. I brought my items in a trash bag and they said they don't accept items in trash bags so next time use a reusable bag. I wasn't told on the phone and didn't see this on the website. They told me to fold my clothes nicely into the laundry basket. I put my items in a laundry basket they had behind the counter. They gave me a 10% off coupon for any purchase I made today in store. I walked around the store while I waited for them to price my items. I was called over for the payout of my items and they bought 5 items out of a large laundry basket size of items I brought in. I'm disappointed because I had namebrand items new with tags and gently used namebrand items that they did not buy, I brought mostly summer items! I was frustrated because a lot of the items in the store were way more beat up than my items. They threw all my clothes into the basket all a mess! I was told to go to the register to pay for the shoes I found, and I waited a couple minutes while making eye contact with an associate at the purse counter, who continued to ignore me as I was waiting to checkout. He finally came over and charged me out and I had the coupon next to the shoes and after being charged out I asked if he use the coupon and he said no, I didn't see it, it's too late. You can use it next time. I went to gather my items to take out to the car and I did use one of their laundry baskets to take all the items they wouldn't take back to my car and the door sensor went off. I went back to the sell item counter and the associate told me he forgot to tell me that there was a security tag on the basket. The employees were very chatty with each other and I feel like the customer service was neglected heavily for my experience. 2 stars because I did find a pair of shoes but I would give a 1 star for customer service. read more

This place used to be great, it has gone down tremendously but I guess when you have trash people working there, it's expected. Went in to sell, brought it in one trash bag which is no longer accepted, so the girl at the counter said to put my items in a basket. She already seemed annoyed at the fact that i brought in one trash bag with clothes, and then started to tell me repeatedly at the things they were taking: "we are only taking things for summer, so no jeans no sweaters, no long sleeve tops" I said okay but she kept repeating herself and i finally said okay i get it, im just going to put it in because some of the items are name brand, is that ok?" she said "yeah we can take a look at it" She definitely had an attitude and was very short coming. So I added workout clothes as well (lululemon sport bra, summer clothes people are outside and working out you know). Anyways not even like 10 minutes go by and my name is called which is weird, because I put in a lot of clothes like linen pants, body suits, crop tops, etc. Another girl then tells me they didn't take any of the items today. Mind you I came in with a full bag filed with clothes, you're telling me not ONE piece was taken? That's complete bs and I know it was done on purpose because of the girl and her attitude. I was really shocked so I just said "oh really?, ok" and left. This was the first time I've ever been declined of selling my clothes, and I used to come here for years... I didn't even want to donate the clothes there like I usually have done in the past, went instead to Goodwill where I know my clothes will be much more appreciated. Drove 14 minutes out to Buffalo Exchange in Fullerton and immediately got better customer service with friendly employees. Sold a few of my clothes as well. So save yourself the hassle, drive a few minutes out to Fullerton and sell your clothes there. read more

This is the 3rd week in a row I have drove all the way here and they have a sign in the store CREDIT ONLY the sign outside says WE PAY CASH FOR YOUR CLOTHES and I've been coming here for years since it opened really gone down the drain there's a guy there that buys totally rips you off big time on what he pays out like soooo bad! I don't know how you run a business when you contradict your advertising read more

Uptown Cheapskate - 3rd week in a row I've come here to sell this is outside the store inside on the counter says CREDIT ONLY - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Placentia, California

Ok, so I heard about this place and heard how great it was. I decided to go Christmas shopping for my daughter here, and I am glad I went with my Mother-In-Law because I was overwhelmed. There is so many clothes in there, and they are all name brands and priced very well. Everyone inside was super friendly, and greeted every single person that walked in the door, they even greeted me twice, because I stepped outside to make a phone call and came back in. I will say, it is mostly women's and girl's clothes there were just a few boy's/men's clothes. I would highly recommend this place to any of the ladies out there looking for a cheaper place to buy name brands. read more

Really disappointed in their staff. 3 staff were working when I came in to sell and none were friendly. I had two big bags of clothes to sell and they called me back within less than 5 min saying they couldn't take anything. They clearly did not look through the entirety of the bags. They left some stuff hanging off the sides so I took some of it out to fold correctly and fit them in the bag and the girl behind the counter gave me a look like I was in the way when there was literally no one behind me. Never trying to sell with them again. read more

Love the selection here! Honestly, their prices have been getting a little more expensive compared to back in the day but overall, I can find something I want here. Still ends up being cheaper than at a regular clothing store. The workers are young but are very welcoming! read more

Uptown Cheapskate - Looks brand new and was only $5! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Placentia, California

Not big girl friendly and the ones that were it was very minimal . Shoes weren't as cheap as advertised idk I guess its ok if ur a thin gal

There is no shortage to the selection. Items are laid out well for the amount of inventory. The employees are very helpful and pleasant. Everything from accessories, Handbags, to clothes and footwear. Definitely an upscale resale shop. I found the prices pretty good with some high end items. After hearing about the purchase policy, I will be looking to expand our relationship from being a customer to becoming a selling agent/customer. There is an additional 25% of savings to be made. What a great find!!! read more

Do not come here to sell. I called right before I left to make sure they are still paying out with cash. Drove 30 mins to the store only to be told that they are no longer doing cash payouts, then the staff proceeds to ignore me. Horrible customer service and cocky staff. read more

I went for the first time.. had an amazing experience. I love thrifting and found this store to have many options at reasonable prices. There were popular brands along with unique findssome items from me. I had few items to sell,,, and I was pleased they bought few items from me. Great service and very clean. I will definitely be visiting again! read more

Stopped in to see what clothes options were available. There are friendly and helpful employees there to help answer any questions. The choice of sizes ran from xs-plus size with designer and every day options. Primarily this store has women's clothes, but there is a small men's section. They even have accessories like purses and Disney mini backpacks. Prices are good but the real value is the additional % off colored tags. While I didn't pick up anything during this trip, I will be back in the future. read more

Came here 35 mins before they closed. And the door was locked after attempting the door that they said to open since one of the doors don't work - I literally saw the lock in place between the frames and it wouldn't budge. There was a blonde female worker who just watched me from the register I waved and pointed to the hours and she ignored me - didn't bother to open the door even though I clearly kept waving and asking why it won't open if the hours of operation are stated - so I walked away to shop else where. If you aren't going to be open when you say you're going to be open - you are wasting people's time driving down and their gas to shop when you are supposedly supposed to be open. read more

Upon walking in the store, I wasn't immediately greeted so that was already a small red flag. I had two bags for possible consignment both had high-end contemporary brands like Rag & Bone and AllSaints, even Self Portrait heels they did not take anything of those brands. Even worse one of the bags seem like it wasn't even look through. It was folded the same way that I put it in. Just untouched. It seemed kind of suspicious because they were done way too fast. I'm talking about within a couple minutes. The girl who helped me literally took one pair of shorts and it seemed like fitting with the rest of the stuff that they were selling, which is mostly way lower and fast fashion. Things that you would get at a thrift store for cheaper. So disappointed because Buffalo exchange did way better when I went there earlier today. Safe to say I'll never come to this place again. read more

This place is not at this location. I had went on their instagram page and got this address so I drove to take some clothes to them. I literally drove in circles which was annoying cause I wasn't finding it. So I had to call and when I spoke with a man he stated they are no longer at that location in my head it's like ok then why is it on your guys instagram page? They moved to another city. I was so upset. So be aware if you go here. Plus I heard they don't even give you much for your clothes after many other reviews. I just checked their page again and see that they finally added their new address but still have the old address. A month ago it wasn't like that it was only the Fullerton one. I'm sure others probably couldn't complained as well. read more

I bought clothes here today, but when I got home, I found a hole where the tag had been, so I had to throw the item away. The clothes were definitely fine when I picked them out, and I believe the hole was made when the staff removed the tag. If they had informed me at the time, I wouldn't have bought it. The staff handed me the item folded, so I only discovered the hole after I got home. I'm very disappointed. read more

I love this thrifty boutique store!! They have amazing clothes and shoe selections for very affordable prices. I always find the best wardrobe pieces here. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend adding this to your list of thrift stores when you're looking to upcycle your closet. The buy clothes, shoes, accessories and purses that are gently warn too! Great spot. read more

Super overpriced for used clothing. Not worth the visit. The word cheapskate refers to the amount they give you for your clothes. Def cheapskates there. read more

Good quality, gently used items (some still have tags! ) they have reasonable prices and great service

Had a great experience selling my clothes here! Was pleasantly surprised by them buying 10 of my items! I was greated when entering and the staff were very helpful and nice! Always love shopping here too they have some great pieces for good prices. Much better value here than large chain thrifts! read more

If there were zero stars I'd rate it at no stars. They want to buy our clothes under $5 each and up sell it for $25+ each item. Nah. Store should just be called Cheapskates. I don't recommend selling here. read more

So I have came here multiple times to try to sell my clothes. On all occasions I have been denied for all of them. I have came with Zara, express, doc martins, Nike shoes (some rare ones too), and Nike clothes. After today I have question why my clothes were not being accepted and I was told "the condition of these are not good" I was confused because some of these men and women clothes still have the tags on them and also these jeans aren't skinny. All of them were baggy to loose fit all in great condition. When I picked out my clothes I asked what is wrong with the condition and she rolled her eyes and left me. Before that I pointed at there sign saying I have all of what they were looking for and checked all of the boxes and yet I still get denied. So I went to buffalo exchange and they gave me a fair offer on ALL my clothes. Psa DONT COME HERE TO SELL OR BUY. This place has dirty Jordans for 80+ (not even retros either) read more

Friendly staff, clean store and nice clothing. Will gladly shope here again. Thank you.

Resale review: Going to start off with pros, this place has good things and it's an exceptionally clean place. Their clothes seem clean and a decent price. However, this place is HORRIBLE at giving cash and low ball so much, at first you stop to think if they're joking. Today, I came in with Steve Madden Cobra leather ankle price that retails for $169.99, and I was willing to accept $20, hardly worn since they are platform. These girls literally looked at me and said they offered me store credit of $5 or $6 CASH ‍. Like girly pop. You're joking. They offer a low amount but resale at a price that is way more. Their prices are as if they paid a lot, but low ball. So they should be able to give a decent exchange. I also came in with a bag of clothes with popular brand names couple years back and they gave me $20 ... the other bag I just gave to donation. read more

I wanted to send this review because I was shocked today when I arrived at the Fullerton store. I was told I could no longer sell or buy, and was not welcome in the store. So here goes, after selling and purchasing I was sent a survey from them. I answered the survey honestly which was negative on their behalf. After a second visit I was also sent a survey hoping to improve there business model which was also critical. Inconsistent buying, not knowing good brands etc. when I walked in today I was told I am not welcome and I could no longer buy or sell because I am never happy. In my life I have never been punished for leaving an honest review. Wow what a way to run a business. I was denied the owners contact info which I believe is very telling. I would rather donate for free than go here. I don't need the money just thought it was a good idea at first as they promote sustainability, but I will never do business with a company who treats their customers this way. I realize this is a long review, but please take the time to read. read more

When I first walked in, I was not greeted by any of the employees working. As I keep browsing through the store I start noticing quite an unpleasant odor, it just smelled like old stored nasty clothes. The floor was extremely sticky and disgusting as well. There were shoes on the floor everywhere, clothes falling from the rack on the floor. Very messy and unorganized. I never ever write reviews but what really got to me was that I noticed a huge roach crawling around the dresses, i immediately told the tall employee about it and all he did was rolled his eyes and gave me attitude by saying that it's normal for them to see roaches once in a while. read more

I had a really disappointing experience reselling clothes at Uptown Cheapskate. Their website says they accept brands like Madewell, Old Navy, Athleta, Anthropologie, and Obey, so I brought in three bags full of clean, stylish items from those exact brands. When I got there, I was told they only take two bags at a time--even though that policy is not mentioned anywhere on their website. The employee was rude and told me I should've called ahead, which felt completely unreasonable. I've sold clothes at plenty of other places and have never been told to limit my bags like this. They gave me a "10% off coupon" with a sensor on it and told me it would only take 10 minutes to process my items. I had to stay in the store while they reviewed my clothes--you're not allowed to leave with the coupon or it will trigger the alarm. I ended up waiting around for about 45 minutes. After all that, they only took five items and gave me just $18. I was considering using the money toward something else in the store, but the item I liked cost more than I was given, so I just left. Overall, this was a complete waste of time and effort. I made sure to bring in exactly what their website said they were looking for, only to be met with poor communication, unnecessary restrictions, and very little return. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it to others trying to resell quality clothing. read more

Service and selection and good value. Great place for browsing for your young teens. Well organized and clean.

Everyone who works here is sweet and kind and so willing to help. I will always be back.

They have a young male who just graduated high school who is pursuing water waste management as a career make the decisions on women clothing to take or to give back to the seller. You should at least have some sense of what brands are selling and have style to work at a place like this. That's crazy. I've been to multiple locations of Uptown Cheapskate and I've never experienced something like this. read more

such great service whenever coming here! So sweet the employees this morning! I appreciate their help.

Nice store and Nice workers . I like the prices. I costumer for long time thank you

Everyone was do kind. Store was organized and clean. I always find great deals I will definitely keep returning read more

They basically want brand new clothes not older clothes smfh I took a whole big bag of clothes and they only took one thing such a scam

I only had this keychain I got here for 3 months and the writing on it already faded a couple days ago. What a low quality keychain! And I believe it was $9 after tax so really not worth it! read more

I love their specials. I got a tank 60% off, which was only $6 clothes are so cute and sustainable.

BEWARE if you sell on consignment. On May 7, I brought in my LV purse to sell on consignment. The owner was out during this time and contacted me a few days after Mother's Day. She let me know some details around price, posting, etc. She mentioned once it's sold, she would contact me and my check would either be sent or I can pick it up. Based on the conversation, it seemed like it would sell a little slower since Mother's Day had just passed. 2.5 months pass and I called because I hadn't heard back from her. The sales associate let me know that it had been sold about 2 months ago and wasn't sure why the owner hadn't contacted me nor sent my check. She was going to let the owner know so that she can contact me. The owner never contacted me. I called back same day and the sales associate again would follow up. Never received a call. I called the next day. Same thing. Never received a call. Finally on the third day I was able to contact her. She never said apologized or had an explanation to why she never contacted me. I was able to pick up my check but I truly believe she would have never contacted me to pay my portion of the purse. read more
