I needed a trench coat for Halloween. I went to multiple thrift stores and not one of them had what I needed, until I found Uptown. Not only did they have EXACTLY what I needed, but the store was beautifully organized and staff friendly and helpful. Exceeded expectations by a lot, and changed my perception about what a thrift store could- and should- be. Even found a perfect pair of shoes to go with the ensemble. Thanks Uptown!!
Affordable clothes that caters to all sizes. I feel very comfortable when going inside and always feel welcomed. Very great customer service. Always come back to buy great clothes and the experience is always top tier.
All the workers are amazing they are extremely helpful and always smiling
This place is awesome. A huge selection of clothes with a good amount for men. I was surprised when I walked in because of the quality of the items and the way everything was organized
Excellent place for new and gently used resale items, tons of stock and awesome people. So much inventory with a constant flow of incoming items. Worth a look!
Always welcomes me into the store, which makes me feel welcome and want to shop in the store! Everything is always organized in size and color. Which makes its very easy to find things! This is a good place to fine cheap clothes!
Great resale shop, nicely organized with good prices and friendly staff. Definitely will be visiting this place on a regular basis.
First time visiting this store and it was WAY BETTER THAN Goodwill. It had Newer used cloths and a great sports selection to tees for Adult women/guys. Love it♥️🤙🇺🇸
So many clothing options at amazing prices!
Uptown Cheapskate us awesome!!! Store staff are really friendly, and very helpful. My husband and I always have a great experience when we come in:).
Great place with a wide selection of clothing and shoes/sandals apparels at a very reasonable pricing. Plenty of fitting rooms! Nice staff also! Limited but decent choices of Aggies gear so Wed definitely return here to shop again!
Always have super cute clothes and great service! Bonus is the sweet dogs that are there some times
Way overpriced for used merchandise Goodwill is far better.
Selling my gently used clothes here is super quick and easy!
We were greeted upon entry. Several times while shopping the girls asked us if we needed help and if we we were doing ok. The store was clean and orderly. Shopping here was a good experience.
I LOVE 😍 THIS STORE!! Amazing quality clothes, super cute, name brands as well. All at a fraction of the actual cost.
The CUTEST stuff! organized so well & workers are so so nice & amazing! i love that they have dressing rooms that are super clean! i always find something new I love whenever i visit
Loved my first visit here today! Friendly and helpful employees and great selection.
Really good stuff! and the staff was very nice
Sales team AWESOME! Quality of clothing, purses and shoes AWESOME! Picked up two BEAUTIFUL Coach purses for a quarter of the price of one!
Great customer service and fair prices for selling clothes! Love it
Great affordable finds! I had gotten a bunch of cute clothes and a discount for my birthday month!
Great selection of men and women’s clothes and shoes. Especially cowboy boots. Friendly staff. Best of all if you take clothes to sell to them and they do not want the clothes they will donate them for you!
Went in with a friend to sell to them today, and the 2 girls at the sell counter already had a bad attitude. My friend had 3 bags & I had 1. They told us it would be about an hour wait, which we expected. They were angry about the amount of bags we had & were loudly expressing it to where my friend & I could hear them chatting about us. I work in retail so I understand being upset with a customer, but letting the customer know that you’re upset with them is the farthest thing from customer service. If you’re going to talk badly about customers, at the very least wait until they leave the store.
Very nicely laid out! Friendly and helpful employees and a great selection to choose from.
Selling my clothes here was super easy and awesome! great staff(:
I love this place!Every time I go in they greet you with smiles and all staff is phenomenal! Thank you guys for always giving me a good experience here. 😊
Great deals! Great clothes, outfits for everything! Customer service always great too!
Absolutely Love Uptown Cheapskate. Staff is terrific, also very helpful, and active with customers. I plan to be a prime customer for years to come.
Really nice place had a lot of brand name clothing and no damaged clothes. Employees were really nice and the place is clean and very well organized. I would definitely recommend going here!
I brought my items in to sell and was shocked at how much the buy out was! It was the most generous offer I’ve ever received at a resale store quite honestly. I also am impressed at how they offer 50% more money if you do store credit, which is really awesome! I’m so happy that y’all buy and sell plus size clothing as well! Currently there wasn’t too much clothing for my taste in the plus size sections but I’m hoping as time goes on y’all receive more plus size items to resell! The store is well organized, clean & professionally kept! I Will definitely be back often! Also, shoutout to the gal on staff with curly hair wearing a Johnny cash shirt when I came in, I can’t remember her name but she was so helpful, sweet & represented the store well!
Friendly staff! Nice clean store with lots of selection!
I really like Uptown Cheapskate! The first couple times I went I didn’t have much luck. I feel like only certain sections have some good finds so if you’re looking for denim and athletic wear then it’s great! But they’re other sections (tops, shoes, etc.) aren’t it. Really nice staff and always super super clean which I really appreciate & generally really organized! The only downer is I’ve tried selling clothes there a couple of times and they rarely except anything even some hq “trendy” brands & such :(And don’t expect to get much money back for selling. I usually just opt for store credit bc it’s usually a better deal but a bummer if you’re wanting cash back.
I did not find anything today for my taste but the store was awesome! I was enthusiastically greeted by 2 employees as I walked in. Thats so rare at stores today. I was also approached by a salesman named Grant while I was browsing. Thats so appreciated. I would visit here again if Im ever in College Station again.
Great store tons of variety all at well below prices and quality products I will becoming back frequently and bringing the family
The store was very neat and clean! The store associates were very pleasant and helpful.
Went in for some neutral shirts and lightweight jackets for the fall and winter. Loved the amazing selection they had available! Not only did they have a ton of what I was looking for, they had a ton of variety that will definitely bring me back, not just for me, but for my husband as well! The girls working were extremely helpful and sweet! They explained the sales and rewards very clearly. It has a more upscale and organized feel than Platos Closet, so this will be my new go to for thrifting!
The quality of the clothes they have for resale is more suitable for Goodwill or Salvation Army--cheap!! I had nice clothes. Some things with tags still on them!There is another group of people who live here--theyre called permanent residents. Wed like to be able to buy & sell quality clothing @ reasonable prices
VERY clean store with lots of trendy items at a good price. Very friendly people who were happy to help.If you are trading in items DO NOT BE OFFENDED if you don’t get as much as you think your clothes are worth or if they don’t want your clothes at all. I had a whole lot of jeans, some with the tags still on and they didn’t want ANY them because they were no longer in style. Want to know what’s in style now?MOM JEANS!! LOL! Just go into any clothing resale shop with the plan to donate rather than make a profit and you’ll be happy.
So cute, good prices, and when we were there they had so many good sales. If you’re lucky you’ll see some puppies around and pet them!!!!
This is a bigger and better Platos closet. The dogs are kind and adorable!!
Cute clothes, kind staff, reasonable prices. If you havent gone, go! I found a lot of great pieces here and I will definitely be back!
Always great service and product.
It was very organized, which made for a very pleasant experience. I was able to find what I was looking for with such ease. I highly recommend, and will continue to shop here!
Clean, friendly, and amazing selection!
THE CUTEST RESALE SHOP IVE VISITED IN A WHILE. Super kind people helping me shop, was very organized as well. Higher-end brands at a reasonable price! Definitely will be coming back to see what else they in store!
When I walked in the store I was greeted by everyone with a genuine smile. They told me the deals and asked me if I was looking or selling. I went to go through the selling process and it was super easy. I got a great amount of money back for my clothes. The store has great stylish looking clothes as well to sell! Overall my experience was great! I do recommend you shop here!
The clothes were cute. I didn’t buy anything because it was a little more expensive than I expected. Not overly priced but I just assumed it would be a lot cheaper than it was.
Sell at Upscale Cheapskates!!! They paid $15 more for 10 items than Platos did for 13 items!
Love love love this place! The employees are so sweet and helpful and the cloths are always fairly priced and super cute and on trend. Definitely would recommend!
Good prices and good customer service.
**Update to my Original Review: Shortly after posting this review I was contacted by Craig who wanted to hear out my experience and explain to me their past and current efforts for stocking plus size items. I was happily surprised with the level of customer service and appreciated the transparency that is not typically found in retail.__________________________________________________Great consignment shop if you are XS-S-M. If you are looking for plus size clothing, I would suggest looking elsewhere.I went in extremely excited and hopeful but was quickly bummed as I walked through the aisles, taking note of the distinct difference between the S/M and the L/XL sections of clothing options; only to be handed back a tub of brand new plus size clothes that were deemed unworthy.I had submitted a brand-new, never-worn pair of American Eagle black jeans (from this season) that were returned, along with a never-worn XXL button up dress, brand-new XL leggings, and a L kimono.I am used to rejection of items from secondhand shops (I am a long-time seller to Platos), however I was simply baffled as to how clearly there is a lack of plus size clothes in the store, yet when brand new pieces were brought in, they were returned. Again, amazing selections for smaller sizes, just disappointing for anyone midsize or higher.
Great prices and nice clothes
In all honesty I haven’t even visited but the replies to the bad reviews are fantastic. It’s like I’m reading Wendy’s Twitter roasts. I will be visiting tomorrow!
Went to shop last week and left almost immediately after hearing a manager yell at her employee rudely. Not sure what is was about, but it looked like it was their manager yelling at a girl. The girl who was being yelled at looked embarrassed. I wanted to say something but didnt want to start anything with the employees. The one who was yelling was shorter and had curly hair, and was super rude to another employee behind the counter after yelling at the first girl. I will not be returning and hope whoever decided to yell at their employee in front of customers and other employees gets talked to about how unprofessional they were being. Ive NEVER seen something like this happen in a retail shop in my life.
They always stays in trend with the clothing and style!! And I love the affordable prices!!
Really nice. I didnt get to spend much time because I was in a rush. Check it out. Lots of cool stuff at good at reasonable prices. Like the name.#UptownCheapSkates. I got a pair of really nice boots for less than $15.00 The kind that come above your knee a flare. They had some nicer but I cant wear heels anymore.
Absolutely amazing service! Very sweet! Love the options for clothing! There are new and used clothing inside the store! Many options and great prices! Would definitely recommend to friends!
I have only been here twice when I was in need of an outfit last minute, so I didn’t have much time to browse but I absolutely loved it. I haven’t been able to sell to them just yet though. I look forward to actually going and being able to take my time and shop when they open back up!
Immediately when I entered the store, I was greeted by several friendly employees who were knowledgeable, relatable, and understanding. They were able to answer all of my questions, and I was given a thorough explanation of the buying/selling process. The merchandise is super cute, the store is clean and well-kept, and I cant wait for their grand opening! Also as a bonus, the extremely kind owners were in the store with their two cute pups. I cant wait to come back!
Nice place if you want to buy clothes without putting a dent on your pocket. I got 2 tees and 2 shorts for $6 in all.
Giving 2 stars because they have some good stuff and give good money for your clothes. However, when I dropped off clothes the staff was pretty rude. I had never been there before and I didn’t know how the selling process worked. There was a girl with brown curled hair that was just rushing me through the process and seemed irritated at any simple question I had.I also tried some stuff on and all I could hear was the staff having high school social hour behind the counter. Talking about all kinds of drama. Also when I was trying to get a fitting room, there were 5 people behind the counter, no one was helping any customers and it took 5 minutes of me standing there until I had to verbally ask for help. I guess that’s what happens when you have young staff that aren’t super trained on customer service. With a more friendly, attentive staff I would give 5 stars.
My fiance and I were so excited to hear that an Uptown was opening here! Weve frequented other locations in Texas and this one looks like its going to do really well. I know they are only open to buy used clothing right now but its still fun to roam around the store and see all the great items that are going on sale soon! We sold some of our clothes and their store credit offer was SO GOOD plus I got a VIP pass to shop before their official grand opening so I can come back to buy the things Ive been eyeing. I went on a super busy day and the staff was so nice and accommodating and even helped me with my bags to and from the car.
Love this store!
Great selection and awesome customer service 👍
I went to this place and besides being over priced then the mall. I took some customer LV UGh from UGH online in here for them to tell me there not real when I know they are and what I paid from the UGH warehouse I even called to make sure. I really believe it was because I was a African American they didnt want to buy from me the shoes I was wearing custom Jordan I spent over $200 for them afterwards she try to ask me to donate them or you crazy.I will never go back and any African Americans should not either.
Amazing, HIGH end, spring wardrobe at shocking, LOW prices! Experience budget freedom and affordable, retail therapy with Uptown Cheapskate!
Uptown Cheapskate is one of the most welcoming and professional businesses to open in the CSTAT in recent memory. I highly recommend bringing your old clothes here that you dont wear anymore; youll walk away with more money and closet space! I can tell already from their stock on display that the inventory will be amazing when the open for sales in late January
Good clothes some high prices
Love this business model! It goes full circle! Very Well thought out! UC gives you a reasonable return on your wardrobe inventory all while keeping large barges of castaway clothes from floating out to sea! I always find adorable & affordable outfits here! I feel so good about the mission and purpose behind this business! UC gives back in a big way!
First time in this store and I loved how everything was so easy to find very clean and organized
Every time i go into uptown, i have such a blast trying on outfits and getting stuff. the staff is all so nice. Thank y’all sm. I know it can be difficult working in retail so y’all are some queens for doin so.
A lot of pretty cool stuff for a reasonable price.
Ive been several times to sell clothes and the staff is super nice each time! Ive looked around the store and the prices on the racks seem good also. Keep it up!
Tons of selection for men and women. Great clothes in great condition! Plus sizes available as well.
The new location in College Station was great until I started looking at the clothes. One dress had BOOGERS all over it!!!! A pair of boots had nasty bandaids in them and several shirts were worn out and had some holes in the armpits and dresses had deodorant stains...Not at all what I was expecting. Disappointed really. I know the clothes are “gently” used but it was very unclean to me.
Love this store! Very well organized. Great brands.
I went in for my first time on 2/9/2020 and it was such a nice experience! I was complimented a few times by the staff which is unnecessary, like they didnt have to but they did and that just makes my experience that much better! I was attended to a few times while I was looking so the staff is attentive. Not to mention the clothes are really cute. I also left my debit card on accident and I was called and notified so Im super appreciative of them for that.Honorable mention to their playlist, they were JAMMINNNNN!
Great store and associates.
Feel so happy after being here. And cool.
Solid prices, cute clothes lol theres a reason I keep going back -oh and they keep store credit on your account so its convenient when youre ready to use it.
Nice place. Very well organized and neat. Friendly staff. Great prices. Something for Mens and Womens. Ill be back..
The store is very organized.Clothes are organized in colors.Clothes size are in different roles.The store is very clean.The staff was very friendly.
I was not greeted when I came in,but there were tons of people so I don’t hold that against them at all!The store is absolutely golden.They had stuff I’ve been eyeing in certain stores for so long that I wouldn’t even imagine to be in an actual resale store.There stuff is reasonably priced as well!I got a toooon of good quality stuff for cheap!No resale shop can compare to Uptown Cheapskate.I will DEFINITELY return.
The cashier and employees were very attentive and super nice.
One of the best thrift / retail stores in town by far! everything sorted really nicely by size and color :) made me so happy, and the staff was awesome!
Loved the variety of clothing and accessories here! Definitely will visit again for new work clothes!
Very organized and tons of clothes to look through. Great selection 🙂
I havent actually been in to buy anything just sell. As I wish they had actually bought my clothes I like that you can donate them for a great cause
Very nice store and good prices.
The store is always so organized and the staff are always friendly and happy to help.
While waiting in the store, a homeless man came in asking for directions and the store clerks were rude to him. One of them even told him to not reach into his pockets because she found it threatening. He showed he was just taking out his wallet to show them his bus pass - he was asking about bus routes. Meanwhile, anyone else can bring in trash bags of things and reach into their pockets without getting yelled at for seeming like a threat.Following this, I received a text about how this was resolved with the employees and recommendations to change my review. I said I wouldnt and this resulted in a two day text discussion about how Im ruining their business. Leaving a bad review when they have your personal information means they can and will bug you about changing it.Unrelated to this incident, they give you about 7.5% to 10.5% of what your clothes are worth which is a pretty convenient way of clearing out the closet.
Please sell your stuff here and please dont shop here until after I graduate because I want all the good stuff to myself :) but in all seriousness its a great place. Kinda like Platos Closet in terms of prices
This place has a lot of clothes! I walked in naked and left clothed!
It the very good place to shop for good stuff And Friendly service
Absolutely fantastic, quality clothes for cheap :)
This place is organized, clean, and full of great finds!
Great place
Great Place! Great Prices
