There is a parking lot in front of Uptown cheapskate. There are multiple steps that you have to climb to access the store. Once inside you check in and bring your items to the front counter to be appraised. The store does require that you stay inside of the store while they determine how much money they will give you for your unwanted items. The process was quick for me. You have the option of getting cash for your clothing and shoes or credit to use in the store. read more

Went in to sell some clothes as part of my yearly Spring cleaning. They said I had to wait 30 minutes in the store while they sorted through what they wanted. It was more like a 40 minute wait. I knew I didn't want to buy anything but I still browsed around to kill some time, the selection was a little underwhelming. I got more than I expected to get because I know how these places can be. I opted to donate the rest of my clothes since I was planning on getting rid them anyway. But to my surprise they didn't take (or at least pay me for) a lot of new, tags on, Spring items that I brought in. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - I'm surprised this shoe passed inspection. Be sure to examine all items closely prior to purchase. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I discovered this store recently and found things I liked, 2 for me, 2 for my husband. One fit my husband, the rest are too small, will be returned for store credit. I recommend trying on clothes before purchase (I bought a wool sweater, size L, which I think was possibly washed and dried, so shrunken.If I'd tried it on, I would have known it's probably size extra small.) Not sure if there are fitting rooms. The stock suits college age customers, but older people can find things. There are some new items there, most stock fairly priced, I think, though not inexpensive. read more

Went in with two of my toddlers I had a huge amount of clothes to donate . They were very patient and nice . I did call ahead to check how they accepted clothing . I came in around 11 am I had maybe a 15-30 min wait while they went through my clothing . They gave me more than I expected and if I didn't have so many bills due rn I would of accepted the store credit . Super nice and organized loved the staff on hand today as well ! Hoping to come back soon to take a glance personally if not sell a few more items ! Had a cute little pizza place I went to after with my kids across the street! Love it ! read more

I recently visited and experienced horrible customer service. The staff member (tall white guy) I interacted with was very rude, and this aligns with other reviews I've seen. The responses I have read seem to be recurring and the owner doesn't seem to want to take any responsibility. I would stay far from this toxic environment. read more

Got there 10 mins before they closed and they were still welcoming and kind. I was able to quickly find a high quality pair of shoes for an event and they were even on sale. Can't be more happy with my purchase and experience. read more

Went for the first time with my daughter location had a lot of great clothing for a different ages & gender's. Very clean and organize we purchase over $200 of clothes & footwear. Can't wait to go back to sell some items I have at home. read more

l love carry my clothes to Uptown, the staff is the best and they give top dollar! The store is so well organized and awesome prices on the cloths read more

Uptown cheapskate has a great selection of men's wear at deep discount prices. If you're thinking about decluttering your clothing this is the place that pays more than the local stores. read more

I appreciate being able to declutter my closet from a few items I needed to get rid of today. Uptown even offers to donate your items to charities when they can't purchase them. The option to keep it for charity is helpful, but I preferred to select my charity. My clothes had depreciated value too much, and many items were given back to me. Judging by what was kept that I got cash for, Uptown Cheapskate seems to prefer recent (within a year released) items and top-brand items. They took Express, Macy's INC, and Kelly & Katie branded shoes. I could get cash for a few items, but I feel this was not worth my time. I'm using part of it on gas, and I can't get my time back. On the time spectrum, the turnaround was still pretty quick, but for the payout, I'm fine with the standard tax deduction for the annual charity I always donate. Overall the employee who greeted me and assisted me was kind, and there was a really quick turnaround in letting me know what could be purchased. The store seems organized and well-lit, and the fitting rooms are super cute. I didn't buy anything. The prices here aligned with the prices found at the Ross store. Hopefully, that gives you an idea of how much items cost. I saw a few designer shoes there that were expensive. read more

best clothing resale shopping in town! I have been going for many years and no matter my age- the clothing options stay in style! highly recommend if you care about fashion;) read more

First off, this store has really good items that can be a little overpriced but it's not that bad. I always find great things when I go. The employees here also seem very nice. However, my issue is the cleanliness. Every clothing item that I tried on was covered in dust. When I went in the fitting room there was dust flying everywhere. When I went to checkout there were piles of dust all over the floor that I noticed. When I left there was dust all over my pants and I couldn't stop coughing and sneezing. Honestly it seems like they never clean. read more

Customer service was very sweet and helpful. Clothes were in good condition. Very reasonable prices

Don't go to this Uptown Cheapskate. They gave me $13 for 3 items, including a brand new pair of Converse. Plato's Closet in Cary is much better. You also have to wait in store here, but not at Plato's Closet. read more

So nice and clean! Wonderful selection! Found some great deals! A variety of high end, boutique, and mall brand clothing! I will definitely be coming back soon! read more

What I miss most about living in New York is the endless selection of thrift and consignment shops. While on my lunch break today I remembered I had a bag of my 10 year olds gently worn shoes in my trunk waiting to find a new home. Out of curiosity I ventured on in to have my valuables appraised. I didn't spend much on the pair of Adidas or the sandals however they were trendy and very gently worn. My daughter wears women's size shoes and her feet are still growing ! They offered me $10 for the two pairs collectively which is better than $0 donating to God knows who. The layout of the store was very clean & organized however the stench of used clothes is always overwhelming in a thrift store. I arrived and was kindly greeted. I was asked to log in on the iPad and provide my drivers license ID. Cheapskate is a great store for teens and college age students on a budget. This store carries a lot of retail brands and the items are in good condition. They carry a lot of American Eagle Outfitters, Guess and Boutique styles. There is a men's section as well. Prior to coming here I would advise you to weigh your options on where you can receive the best value for your items. read more

The staff let me know they were going to buy 2 out of my 8 items. I had to ask for my other items back and they pulled them from a closet where they were messily shoved back into my bag. The unwanted items should have been given back to begin with. Staff said they could "donate" the unwanted items. I'm like this is not goodwill. I'm not just giving you everything, you buy what you want and give the rest back. read more

I went in there just looking found a Michael Kors Purse really good price. plus got a discount was even more happier.

I enjoy shopping here. The selection is truly up to date and the choices are endless. I love quality clothing so I feel like I get a good deal because of the value of the pieces. Customer service is good and I've never not been able to find help it I needed it. This store will always be a go to place for me. read more

service was fast enjoyed looking around the store as i was waiting. However was a tad bit disappointed with how little they took.

I brought two bins worth of my daughter's clothing in around 10am (store opening) on a Tuesday and was greeted by Shania. She made the process of selling clothes both smooth and efficient as she explained the selling protocol (it was my first time bringing clothing in). She suggested I peruse the racks and I also tried on clothes while she went through my bins. I heard my name called about 15mins later and she told me she purchased 9 of my items (which was worth about $22 for store credit). Although I asked her to donate any items they didn't want she said the donation bin was over flowing so she had me take the extras home, which I didn't mind at all. Thanks for making this first time experience so pleasant and simple! read more

They offered me the lowest amount they could have possibly offered ever for some nice ass clothes. I had to waste 2 hours waiting on them to give me that quote too. $20 for a $150 mk bag, $50 jeans, $60 pants, and a $45 hoodie. If u wanna get money for your clothes, just sell them yourself:) read more

I wish I could leave less than 1 star to be honest I've never had an experience like this before and I am honestly baffled, I went on a Thursday morning with my friend I brought 2 bags of clothes and 1 bag of shoes and my friend brought 4 bags of clothes we check in and the girl tells us they can only process 2 bags at a time she starts with my 2 bags of clothes I explained that my bags were first and she said okay I'll put tags on them (which she never did) then she tells us we have to stay in the store the whole time they're processing our clothes, so we start to walk around and the girl that is going through my clothes calls my friend over and begins to tell her (about My clothes) that they smelled like they had been washed and that they had been sitting to long and they had a "bad aroma" (they were literally fresh clothes out of my closet, some even new with with tags?? Not to mention nice name brands) and I smelled them, they smelled like laundry detergent CLEAN and my friend said the same thing my friend asked if she could have someone else sort them and she said that all the employees smelled them and said the same thing. I didn't know that they based the clothes they take off of how they smelled but whatever (even though they smelled like nothing bad, why would I bring in clothes that stink?). They also didn't want to go through my friends bags because she said she "assumed they also smelled bad"... even though she lives in a completely different household. We were truly taken aback and did not know how to respond to this. We drove over 45 minutes to come here for the first time and will never come back. Even if they did have an "aroma" you should never put a customer in that position it was rude and embarrassing. Do better. read more

This place was so amazing My gramma needed new shoes and found the perfect pair barely used at all. Great prices

customer service was awesome and the sales was amazing with so much to choose from! I will definitely continue shopping there!

Love this place! I always find a couple great items when we go here. Mostly newer stuff so not ideal if you're looking for vintage. Always a fun time though especially with friends. read more

This store is so full of clothes, and yet the selection did not include anything I would wear. I think the styles are geared more toward college students. (If you're looking for daisy dukes, you're in luck.) That said, the prices aren't all that cheap. You can certainly get deals here, but they're not going to blow your mind. I'm glad this store exists, it just doesn't happen to work well for me personally. read more

Service was sweet, the prices were fair, the selection was honestly better than what I've experienced at other Thrifts I've been to. I love how they ACTUALLY carry sizes 2X-3X an how can I forget to mention the Red,Blue,Green stamp Discount!!! will DEFINITELY Be going back!!! read more

Great employees love the new layout always have good stuff and great prices keep up the hard work

are used to always shop at Plato's closet, but uptown cheapskate is my new favorite place! I love how every section is separated by size, but also by category, the people who work there are extremely friendly and very helpful. the prices are higher than your average thrift store, but everything I tried on, was in fantastic condition and almost everything had their original tags as well read more

Great customer service! Very attentive and had a warm welcoming environment! Check out this location! Great prices & quality pieces!

Good stuff. Def more expensive than other thrift stores. Lowley seems like they have too much clothes actually. Can only speak for the buying aspect as I haven't tried to sell anything. read more

I come here often to sell and buy, I get all my shoes from here because they're lightly warm and not super expensive. I get new Nike's and Docs and lightly used converses, this place is great. Sometimes they're overly picky about what they buy, but the rest I donate to goodwill. Aside from that, I recommend this place. read more

The prices are that cheap, but decent. The return policy pretty cool though!

Great store! Lots of great brands. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend.

Literally the worst experience I have had at a clothing store. I was told I had to wait with my clothes because they had no way of contacting me. Additionally I was told very publicly in front of all the other customers that I had "trash" in my bin by an employee and was told "Do not bring that in here again". (my trash was two small unopened, unused tampons that probably fell out of a pocket of clothing). I will never recommend this place to anyone, or even bring my clothing or money here again. read more

The bathroom is disgusting, it looks like they have never mopped and it got piss? In the corner

Do not waste your time in this cheap place: They make you wait inside store for more than 2 hours and decide not to take any of your high end clothes or handbags by not even lookin at it for more than a minute. Rude customer service with an African American lady. Donation works out better or look somewhere else. read more
