This is by far my favorite Uptown location. - It's always clean and organized - Decent selection of larger sizes (XL+) Decent - not amazing. - Clothes are in great condition and clean. - They're clearly more picky in what they buy. - It's spacious and not cramped - Friendly staff - Frequent sales I got a super cute dress from here! Contrary to what the other reviews say, they DO allow you to drop off your clothes without waiting in store. I have attempted to sell here twice and they took nothing both times. That doesn't offend me at all - they buy depending on their current needs. Don't come with unnecessarily high expectations when selling. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - Spring Dress - Thrift Stores Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place had so much things from jeans and dresses and shoes and I would say the people by the fitting room were nice. We bought a lot of things and the girl at the front the cashier, was not nice at all! This is not how customer should be treated. Also we went home and had to come back bc she did not take off one of the security tags, which shows how little value they give to their customer. Some things are a little high in value but mostly others were good priced. read more

Visited Uptown Cheapskate for the first time today, and unfortunately the experience wasn't great. I had to stay inside the store during the buy process, even though they had my phone number and ended up texting/calling me anyway. I waited about an hour and out of about 20 items, they purchased one item for $3. The most disappointing part was how my clothes were returned. I brought everything neatly folded and organized, but my items were shoved back into the bags carelessly, including delicate pieces with stones and chains. One bag was even "missing" at first because it had been stuffed inside another bag. Customer service and care for customers' belongings could definitely be improved. read more

The place is clean and organized. The items seem to be the same price as the items on shein. You do have to stay in the store and weight on your clothes . They told me 30 mins but it was an hour. I didn't receive any money for any items. The cashier does ask if you want to take your clothes back with you or for them to donate. I toon my clothes to a women's shelter off Lemon Ave read more

Unfortunately, I didn't have a great selling experience at this location. It started off well but then when I went to pick up my buy (after being notified it was ready) My items couldn't be found, I was given the wrong receipt for items that weren't mine. Once my items were found (shoved infer a counter) I was then told my items hadn't be looked at but "pushed through" the system. Whatever that means. After my items had already been in the store for 5 hours, I was asked to wait an additional 10 items for my items to be priced. ALL that for $10. read more

Like most reviews at this location- it's true. They make you stay there and shop while they review your bags of clothing. I was walking around the entire time watching them look through clothes and they did not go through my bags at all. They gave it back to me and said the clothes does not sell at the store and I can donate it if I'd like to. read more

PROS: clean, the employees seem nice, the store is nice & organized. CONS: I came here expecting to donate my clothes, leave, go about my day, & wait for a phone call for them to tell me that my offer is ready... Nope! You leave your clothes, & you have to stay IN the store or they will automatically "donate" the clothes they chose NOT to buy from you... I've never been to a location that does that.. that's so weird, right? I can't be the only one that thinks that. I mean I guess that's a good strategy to get people to stay and shop around your store, but people are BUSY. I don't know if it's just this store that does this, but yall really need to change that. read more

Horrible! Do not take your items here. All of the young employees are RUDE RUDE RUDE. They have no customer service etiquette. Next time I clean out my closet, I will NOT go here. read more

Visited the Wiley location, beautiful, organized, and the team was e exceptionally warm and kind. Found wonderful Calvin Klein blazers, brand new with tags, only $13 each, such a great value, both retail for $130 each. read more

Let me start by saying the store is clean, customer service is kind and it's a nice thrift store for the most part! That said, their buying practices are questionable. I waited over an hour for them to only accept 1 thing out of two bins of clothes- many items with tags and absolutely not poor quality. Were there a few shabby items in the mix? Sure! But I'm 100% certain there was more than 1 thing worth keeping. They opted to keep my Free People set because apparently that's a preferred brand at this location. The items hanging on the racks range in quality, really nice items to garage sale vintage... so for me, I have a hard time believing that none of these items met that range of standards. MY ISSUE: They offer to donate the things you don't want to take back, which is cool because I honestly don't feel like lugging the bin back home- but I have a sneaky suspicion that some of the items given to them for donation end up on their racks for sale anyway. I've seen two dresses (for sure) that I know were mine hanging on the shelf after having been told weeks prior that they weren't worth buying. I can't prove it and it's not worth my energy to fight it, but I'm just putting it out there that it feels a lil shady. 2nd Street pays WAY better and provides an itemized receipt detailing what they purchased. So feel free to thrift at UC, but if you're selling items that you believe have value, try somewhere else. read more

I returned an item my wife had purchased and ended up with store credit that I promptly used to buy me a nice polo shirt. Thanks honey for the polo. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - Sales on! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Richardson, Texas

See all

I'm not sure if it's just me, but every time I come here, I'm never greeted or acknowledged by the employees. No one asks how I'm doing or makes me feel welcome. What's even more disappointing is that I've noticed customers of other ethnicities are treated with kindness and respect, while I, as a Hispanic woman, am not given the same courtesy. It's really disheartening. I continue to shop here because I like some of the clothing options, but the lack of respect and professionalism from the employees and management is very disappointing. read more

The store was very organized but I went to donate with 2 bags full of clothes. They have you wait inside the store while they see what they will buy. I looked around for a bit and saw items similar to what I was donating but mostly name brands. When they were done they said none of the clothes I brought in would sell well in their store. Considering the store was completely full, the stuff they do pick out wasn't selling well anyway. After looking in the store, looks like they're going for name brands only. I never been to the store before so I thought the point was for cheaper trendy clothes but I guess they just want new or gently used brand name clothing that they can sell at similar prices to department stores. The clothes I had weren't outdated or anything, just not name brands. Some of my items cost a pretty penny for me because they were bought at boutiques but if it doesn't have a Zara or Nike tag it's not worth it to them. read more

Today was my first time selling at this location. Everyone in the store was super nice and helpful. I think this is my favorite location now. I took in an assortment of designer label, mid-range, and meh. They took a mid and a meh. I opted for store credit, and the selection was great! It feels very something for everyone. read more

This is the best uptown cheapskate location by far. There is so much room to walk around, everything is organized, and the pieces are for the most part really good quality. The prices are fair for most things, some of the stuff is slightly overpriced in my opinion, but most of the time there are great discounts! All the employees I have interacted with there are also really kind and happy to help! read more

Love to shop here always score but, do not understand the process of what is kept and what isn't. I had some quality free people items and lulu's that were not taken... and while shopping saw a lot of items that were ripped or stained... read more

First of all, when you bring clothes in to sell, you're not allowed to leave the building. They force you to stay and sit while they sort yours and others peoples clothes for over an hour. When the time was up, they proceeded to say they would only take ONE piece of clothing out of the entire trash bag. So not only did they waste my time when I could have been running the rest of my errands, but they only offered me $2.00!!! Like wtf! 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND for selling clothes. read more

This location has horrible management, the manager Jeremy, is condescending and rude. They are unclear on buying process and how it works.

Value, Service, Quality, Cleanliness, all 100 % for me! I love how organized this store is. The upkeep is definitely well managed as well are the employee. This is the place I think of when I need a good quality clothing item but don't want to go spend bookoos in a name brand store. Would definitely recommend to anyone! read more

Awesome thrift store located in the Richardson area. Definitely one of the nicest/cleanest thrift shops I've been to. It's also in a good area which is another plus. The staff there is pretty friendly and available when you need them too. The fitting rooms were okay, lacking anywhere to sit, but they at least had doors that actually lock. Also, they have employees monitoring whose coming in and out, which is nice too. Overall, I really liked their overall selection and would definitely recommend, especially if you're a guy, as they actually have a pretty large men's section compared to other thrift shops I've been to as well! read more

Had a positive experience here selling my clothes before moving! Staff were friendly and it took under an hour to go through 3 giant boxes of stuff. They ended up taking 12 items and I got $55 cash. I browsed the store while there and found lots of cute stuff. In the past, I've gotten a lot of clothes from Uptown Cheapskate that have lasted me several years. Great place to buy and sell! read more

I went into this place in order to sell some of my lightly used items and I was pleasantly surprised! they looked through my stuff in 15 minutes gave me a fair price and they have a great selection of shoes dresses bags and even winter clothing, they bought my winter clothing swell which was a relief. I ended up using the store credit in order to buy this beautiful kate spade wallet that looks and feels brand new! totally recommend! love this place and the location is very close to a major high way with many parking spots. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - kate spade wallet wristlet - Thrift Stores Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Clothing selection is NOT good and sometimes dirty. That's not even the worst part!! They offer the option of buying your used clothes, but their wait times are always 45+ minutes and if you leave the store while they look over your clothing, anything they don't deem "good enough" they donate WITHOUT your consent. They are seriously lacking basic costumer service. read more

I love spending hours at this store. I find exactly what I went looking for. I come here before I go pay for brand new clothes.

Today was my first to experience the place and I spent 2 hours in there. Great selection. Organized very well by size and color. The girl working the dressing was so sweet. I had a mound of clothes to try on and she was so patient with me. I walk out of there with so much at a super bargain. Definitely going back. read more

Love this store! So organized and friendly workers! Great deals too! Found such great finds absolutely will be going back

Love shopping at Uptown Cheapskate for affordable and in-style items! I appreciate that I can put an entire outfit together in this store.

I have been to dozens of Uptown Cheapskates across 3 states and I have never been to one that doesn't allow you to pick up clothes you're trying to sell unless you stay in the store. Usually you can chose to stay in store or drop off while they go through items you want to sell to them but this place said they automatically donate your items they don't take if you leave the store and don't let you pick them up later, even that same day. I will never return to this store. read more

evryday have new stuff, I love this place and good discount all the time I recommend coming here for clothes old for someone, new for us read more

I just wanted to come out and say that I absolutely loved the selection of clothing here pretty neat stuff and variety.! What concerns me though is treatment of the employees here at this location. As a former employee myself, I wanted to come out and say how horrible the owner is, and how RUDE she was towards me and other former employees- absolutely outrageous!!! During my time working here I felt mentally exhausted because of the treatment I received from Lendie, the owner of the store. I've read another review of a former employee coming out and decided I should too. I'm appalled that this place is still running despite the nasty treatment, and don't plan on shopping at this U.C. location ever again. read more

Great variety, amazing prices, and friendly staff! High-quality clothes and unique finds!

I was really disappointed bc as a thrift store the items should've been less than what it's actually going for. I went in for the first time and purchased 4 items only for it to be almost $100. And yes they are discounted, however I could go on SHEIN and get 10 items for that price. So much for being cheapskate read more

Came here for the first time today and absolutely fell in love with everything. The vibes, music, and cleanliness of the store really made it such a great experience. I love how organized everything is by color and size! read more

Ive NEVER had any interest in shopping at a second hand store. However, I heard about uptown cheapskate from a friend who is very fashionable, so I thought I'd try it out. Not to say that I won't ever buy clothes from retail stores if I find something I must have, but uptown cheapskate will always my first go to! read more
