I'd spotted Upscale Rummage when I was down the road and had been excited to check it out. Their…read morehours are pretty limited so I had to wait a couple of weeks before I could make it in. The shop itself is in part of a large building, so you need to follow the hot pink signs to find the entrance and their parking lot. I'd checked the business out online and discovered that it's a non-profit charity, so I brought in a bag of items to donate to the store. I was overwhelmed by the space. There's so much to see and a bunch of different rooms. I walked around in circles because it was just too much for my brain. I know I missed areas but I had to give up due to input overload. If you've got time, Upscale Rummage is a great place to visit and shop. It's always nice to know that your money will be doing good in the community.

My first time here was today. I only became aware of this event when I heard about it on talk radio…read more- WRMN 1410AM in Elgin, Il. So I went and found many vendors inside the building and few stationed outside the building. Lots of interesting stuff, The majority of the vendors had very fair prices but a few were ridiculous. Some of these sellers have been watching too many episodes of "American Pickers" and they think old rusty tools and old oil cans are made of gold. Besides that, the fairgrounds were clean and free of debris, so wheelchairs could be maneuvered without too much difficulty plus plenty of parking. All in all, it was a pleasant shopping experience.

The event is interesting to attend by the facility itself is dated and fairly dirty. Lots of…read moreparking, though.

UPDATE MARCH 2017 Since their move south a couple blocks to…read morethe spot across the street from the newish Mickey Finn's, Serendipity seems to have really upped their game. They are a favorite place to stop on First Fridays, when I can hardly get in the door! And the stream of new and fun fashions and accessories is non-stop. Service is friendly and personal, too. Still one of my favorite stops. This is like shopping in a dear friend's great closet. Although the store is tiny, the variety always surprises me, and the service can't be beat. I find interesting items I find nowhere else, and while their prices are consistent with other stores, their sale items make them more affordable. There is even a comfortable place to sit! I have purchased tops, purses, outerwear, scarves, jewelry, and other items. Easy to miss since it is north of Casa Bonita and before the train tracks, up a couple of stairs. But with such a uniquely-vintage location and terrific items and service, it is worth the extra steps. Easy parking right in front, or in the copious parking lots around the corner on Lake Street. No I do not work for them - I am just a huge fan and want to be sure they stay in town!

Terrible customer service. Rude owner accused me of having an attitude after a good impression…read morewhen dropping off 29 upscale clothing items in June. My texts were ignored when asking status of my sales. I moved out of state and thought I was leaving items with an honest person that would pay me for sold goods. I am in town for Thanksgiving and called Nina for status and payment, said she would call back was busy with a customer. Never called back. Stopped there yesterday and requested payment. Was told she would Zelle by the close of the day. I have contacted the Grayslake Police dept and they recently have other complaints of nonpayment and rude behavior. It is suspected that this business is failing.

From cheaper boots for my kid, a $30 cashmere scarf for my mom, and a super cool necklace for myself that was somehow only $20 to a $200 vintage mink I absolutely fell in love with, we made out like absolute bandits and the staff were so nice. Good thing we don't live too close but we will definitely come back.

I liked this place. A pleasant surprise. I walked in the one…read moredoor and thought oh boy. It looked like a little place with the clothes jam packed. Not much room to get around them. As I walked a little farther I noticed another big warehouse type room. This room had some furniture and bins and shelves of odds and ends. You do have to do some digging. They things I got were reasonably priced. I purchased some cloth ribbons and linen. The gentleman at the counter was kind and talkative. Friday's are seniors 25% off. I would make the ride out again to go there.

I had items totaling $5.50 and I was told "it needs to be a little bit more over "... I would say $.50 is "a little bit more over ".

Okay so I love bargain shopping and frequent many of the local bin & wholesale shops in Lake…read moreCounty. TruSave is one of the cleanest and most organized bin stores I have found. They take pride in their offerings. They have a section of used & donated goods for resale all neatly displayed and hung up. I have found 2 authentic Coach purses in great condition for only $5 each!!! Then they have a retail section in which you can grab brand new items from the shelf just like at a big box store but at a vastly discounted price. I have already purchased many items that will be under my tree. Now for the best part, they have bins which contain anything & everything. All items in the bins are a flat price based on the day of the week, Fri $10 - Sat $8 - Sun $6 - Mon $4 - Tues $2 you then decide if you want the item at $10 on Fri or take a chance to see if it's still there for $2 Tues. I have found some amazing brand new items on my last couple of Friday visits such as a $278 Michael Kors wallet, $470 foot/leg circulation machine, $169 roller skates, $60 under cabinet pullout organizer and MANY more all for $10 or less!!!
