This was my first time here. I brought two large bags full of clothes in excellent condition, many of them still with the original tags because I had never worn them. I waited 40 minutes only to be told that they were not going to buy anything. They should clearly explain in advance what types of clothing or brands they are looking for so customers don't waste their time. My clothes were in much better condition and much newer than many of the items they had for sale in the store. read more

The selling process here is always smooth and they look through your items in a timely manner. I appreciate that they offer more cash than the competitor. It's an easy way to sell my clothes when I don't have time to post them on Facebook! read more

I will never come back here again. Although she was nice, I do not think the young girl who sorts the clothes is well-versed in high-end brands beyond F21, American Eagle, Gap, Old Navy, etc. She rejected expensive items that I gladly took back. The wait is around 30 minutes to an hour, and they don't have any chairs, so you're either standing or browsing their overpriced pre-loved items. Seriously, just save up $10-$20 more and buy brand new, especially on shoes. I did find a $17 bag that retails for $40. But mostly, their stuff again is overpriced. If you come to think about it, this business model is kinda smart - they buy "nice things" for cheap and then they probably get a tax break for donating the items you leave behind. I wonder how many of those clothes were actually put back in the store to be sold. read more

I had the best customer service yesterday. The sales associate was so friendly, we were chatting about our favorite jeans. Of course I found my favorite jeans for such a good price. Uptown you always have such good finds!!!! read more

Maybe if the people working there actually spent time working instead of talking, we wouldn't have had to wait an hour and half for them to sort through 20 items... read more

Brought in two full bags of items and they bought ONE item for $2.00. They said some items were "loved" which on some, I completely understand what they meant but there were some solid items in there. They also mentioned that they don't accept Walmart or Shein (again, reasonable...to an extent). I had a good amount of Target items that were not "loved" that I'm surprised. If you go sell your clothes, I recommend staying in there and having them explain what they are buying/not buying. read more

If they tell you it's gonna be 15 minutes for 1 box of clothes...Have fun sitting there for an hour and half while they do whatever it is they do. Just sell your stuff on Facebook and save yourself whatever scam or time-waster this is. Not worth the money you get. read more

Uptown Cheapskate always has the cutest clothes, most of them look new, and you get them for such low prices! I feel like I can buy so many things each visit, guilt free because everything is so inexpensive! Things are also pretty easy to find because everything is so organized. This really is my favorite place to shop! read more

Every time I visit the American Fork location, I find something I love, and really do need. This store location has amazing selection and quantity too!!! So much to choose from, you are apt to find what you want. The only downfall is that they literally have, every time, only one register open so the wait to check out is unfortunately time consuming and will sometimes prevent me from making any purchases at all. read more

lots of great, quality pieces of clothing to choose from, including many brand names as well. i picked up a cute skirt on my first visit & really enjoyed shopping here so i will definitely be back! read more

Came in for a quick trade in for clothes, the lady said it would be 20 minutes. I ended up waiting an hour, while all 5 employees chatted, and didn't value my time. Ran like a circus. Do not come here. or else prepare to wait forever for 30$! :) read more

Abigail rudely snapped at us for no reason, looks in line with previous reviews. We've brought $500+ of clothes here with good experiences but we'll now be going to Plato's. & manager is nicest lady ever and apologized to us saying Abigail is having a bad day, but it's at least her 3rd "bad day" that was projected onto customers per reviews, so basically she works a customer service job and lacks the main skill required for it. read more

I just moved here and I needed some warm clothes and I went here to also sell some cloths one of the best thrift stores I've ever been to. I went in not expecting to find anything and I found a jacket I've been looking for for months and it was so reasonably priced when normally it's like $80-$100 will be coming back 100% great customer service 10 out of 10 . read more

This is the first time we go to the uptown cheapskate at American fork. We had always gone to the sugar house one thinking that was the best one but after todays visit this one definitely will become first option, you can get great finds with great prices read more

Resell and rebuy used clothing. Nothing wrong with it perfectly good stuff just maybe the wrong size, or out of season. I doubt anything is priced as what it was bought for. They give really good deals here. read more

Love this place for used gym shark and lulu. Great place for any used clothes you may need. Brand names and all

First time here a few months back and I found a handful of gems here. The key thing is patience! Found a pair of jeans, and a light jacket here. My sister found a cute top and hubby found a pair of jeans here as well. They do tend to be picky in the things they buy (I have sold some clothes here) and they only took a handful of the two bags I brought over. They are conveniently located in an accessible plaza right off of State St. They also have a rewards check in program with earning points every time you purchase something. Points equal to dollars off next visit. It can be a bit overwhelming coming here and going thru the racks for good finds - so if you come here, have the patience, time, and leave the littles at home! Unless you want to spend half the time running after them. read more

See all

I LOVE Uptown Cheapskate! They always have the best selections of clothing and shoes. The girls at the counter are always so sweet. The music is always spot on while shopping. Never a negative experience, highly recommend read more

Clean store. Tons of styles and sizes. Employees are helpful. My teens really like this store.

For those of you who have never been to Uptown Cheapskate, it's basically a nicer version of Plato's Closet. They do have a small section of new items as well. This location is well-organized and very neat, even on busy weekends, which wins major points in my book. They also recently expanded the men's section, which almost doubled the men's inventory. This is a big plus for us since my husband and I are both students, so saving money is always good. Selling here is a pretty easy process, but it can take some time if it is busy. Because they are picky about the product they take in, you're likely to have less items purchased than you would at other stores like Plato's Closet. Last time I sold items, they said they pay you a third of a third of each item's estimated original retail price, which I think equates to like 11%. Employees are hit and miss with this location. None have ever been flat out rude but it can be hard to get their attention sometimes. Keep an eye out for their charity fill-a-bag sales! They usually do them twice a year. They'll provide you with a medium-sized bag that you can stuff with as much clothing as you can fit for $15! If you fold your clothing neatly, you can fit 10-20 pieces in, meaning they end up being about $1 per item! read more

Don't sell your stuff here. They gave me $8 EIGHT DOLLARS for my stuff. If the person doing your buy doesn't like your stuff they give you a buy read more

They had Dollar Days today, where EVERYTHING on the Clearance Rack was literally just ONE DOLLAR! It was amazing!! I ended-up buying 4 shirts, that I love! I also love the idea of this place: being good to our planet by using clothing that others no longer use. Despite having a super busy day, the cashier who checked my clothes was super kind and sweet! She smiled and was courteous throughout my conversation with her, even while her coworkers were sorting behind her! I love this place, and I could tell the cashier loves her job! read more

I've found so many good finds at Uptown Cheapskate! It can take some digging, but for the most part I usually leave Uptown with at least one solid find. The prices are generally fair and they have sales often enough to make it easy to find a good deal. Most of the staff has been helpful and accommodating and overall Uptown is a great place to thrift. read more

It was a cute little store with so many options and varieties. I'll definitely have to go back there again to get more clothes!

I wouldn't recommend selling your clothes here. I get a better return on Facebook marketplace.

I just took a bag full of my husband's clothes, and majority of them have barely been worn at all. They were probably anywhere from 40 to 50 items that I brought in, but they only purchased four items from me. Honestly, such a joke. I wasted an hour of my day waiting for a whole $12. The reasoning for declining majority of the clothes was because it was "too worn." I also had some items from my old online business that have never been worn, and they declined them as well. Definitely won't be wasting my time here ever again. read more

Staff was overall friendly. The girl who appeared to be the manager. Older woman was far from friendly. I understand everyone has their own fashion but not one girl looked like the should be judging clothes. They looked were far from fashionable or even ready read more

Awesome selection and prices! Stopped by to kill some time and left wishing they had one where I live!

Saved me so much time shopping around a bunch of different places for specific pieces I was looking for. I went in and had a mission to find exact colors and fits of jeans and tops and found exactly what I was looking for all in one place for waaaay cheaper than I expected. So glad I found this place. Tons of really great options. The buyers have a good eye for quality and style!! Only thing I wish they had were shopping bags to carry around. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. The employees are very rude and arrogant. Every time I go in I don't get any help or an employee is giving me attitude like if I'd have a personal vendetta against them. I would come in with a bag full I've barely wore and they will not take anything. I go to another location and they take literally the whole bag. Highly recommend going to another location. Their rudeness might also be the reason why they have so much backstock. read more

was told before i purchased the items i could return them if they did not fit i asked her twice and again reassured me again that i could return them and i go there to take my return because it did not fit my sister and the lady said abs0utley not they will not return it after i was told twice by the employee who i purchased it from never will i step foot in there again ..... rude ass people read more

I've sold to uptown twice now & it's been an amazing experience each time! they pay out SO much better than plato's closet (how are they still in business?) & there's no consignment, just cash on the spot (or store credit, but does anyone really ever sell their clothes just for credit?) the first time i came to sell was last September, i needed extra money for my vacation in October & had so many items that i didn't wear/didn't fit anymore. I took in like 5 bags & clothes & 1 bag of shoes & ended up with $186. my last visit was just last week- & it's the same story, I'm trying to save/earn money for my vacation this September. under one year later & i STILL had 4 bags of clothes and a bag of shoes that I knew I'd never wear again. I'm also an online shopaholic, not sure the last time i ventured out of the comfort of my home to buy clothes or shoes. anyways, i brought the bags in on a wednesday morning around 11:30 am. lucky for me i was the only one in there selling. even though I had a lot of stuff, i only waited like 35-40 minutes (not bad at all!). this time around they took almost everything & I was offered $230. I was hoping for at least $200 so I was so pumped! the store itself is clean and organized, & the clothes they sell look like they're in pretty good shape. I'm not surprised due to the demographics for the AF/PG/Lehi/Alpine/Highland area (aka wealthy people who have the means to rid their closets a couple times a year). the staff is always polite & helpful. if you need cash & have old, yet wearable or stylish clothes, sell here! if you're on a budget & want some nice items without breaking the bank, shop here! it's a win for all! read more

Super clean, and staff were all wearing masks! I always find some fun trendy clothes and shoes every time I come in! Sometimes the wait times are super long when you take clothes and things in, but they are always so organized with the way they run and you can shop while you wait! Love uptown Cheapskate! read more

I went here today and had a weird experience. I came to donate and shop around for a little bit. They looks my clothes and told me it would be a 45 minute wait. I thought that was pretty long but the clothes I donated were really cute, in great condition and from pretty pricey stores and I thought that they would make me a decent deal. After my name was called about an hours later the woman offered me... drum roll please... $3.... $3 for 20 pieces of clothing that weren't cheap at all, were in style and great condition. It was a joke. Overall not a good experience with the customer service as well. everyone acted too high and mighty to help anyone who needed helping. The only reason I rated it 2 stars is because I found a cute shirt... which my lovely 3 dollars went towards read more

I went in with a bin full of clothes to try to sell about a week ago. Their check in process was confusing and took much longer then it should have. Once I got checked in, the girl at the counter was talking with me and I could not even hear what she was saying because the music was so loud. That should have been my first red flag. Anyways, once I got finished checking in, I got my receipt and then I browsed around the store while I was waiting for them to finish my buy. Their items were nice and in good quality but I found nothing amazing. My favorite part of the store was their hat wall by the restrooms, I thought that was a really trendy idea. Since I didn't want to keep browsing for another 1.5 hours, I sat down on the chairs they have near the restrooms and just browsed my phone until they finished my buy. I don't like their buying policy at all. While they are looking through your items, you are not aloud to leave their store. Um, what?! So I was stuck in there with their music blaring for an hour and a half. Not the way I had planned on spending my afternoon but whatever. At 6:45 I finally decide I will go check up at the counter and see if they are finished with my buy. (They closed at 7.) Lucky for me I timed that just right, I walked on over and she called out my name. I went over and she told me they could offer me $20 cash for 4 of my items or $25 in store credit. I was SO annoyed that I just took the cash and my bin and left. WHAT A FRICKING JOKE!!! If I could rate this place zero stars I would. Think about this, I had to wash all the clothes, fold them all neatly due to their retarted policy, load them in the bin, drive from Orem to AF, and wait for almost 2 hours for $20?! And not to mention gas money? Again, I repeat. Don't waste your time, it is in no way worth it. And to top it all off, I left their store with a pounding headache because their music is ridiculously loud and I have never left any store with a headache from their background music before. This was my first visit and will most certainly be my last. read more

DO NOT SELL HERE. As a first time buyer I was surprised and disappointed with the 2+ hour wait that I had to endure IN STORE. I understand the rules and that by keeping you in store you will be more likely to purchase but having to sit on the cold floor for that long was not a good impression. read more

They had really nice clothes for a really cheap price! The people were very nice! Definitely recommend going here for cute clothes

I just love that my birthday month just happens to coincide with back-to-school. My kids get awesome clothes for school every year and I even get something fun for my birthday. It's a win-win for everyone. Uptown Cheapskate is way better than the mall. read more

Love this store and the great deals I always find! Staff is always nice and I like the way the store is organized

This was my first subpar visit there. There's a lady who works at this location who is pretty touchy and gets defensive super easily. I dropped off my stuff and got a text later that night that they were finished with my buy. I'm not sure how much I expected to get but I had a lululemon jacket and three pairs of boots that retail for more than $500 each so I thought I'd get more than $36. I just wanted to see what items they took and how much I got for each item. I thought this wouldn't be too much to ask--surely I can't be the first person who wants to know how much they pay per item. I worked at platos like ten years ago and they were able to print out an itemized list of what they took and how much they paid for each item they accepted. Anyway, I went in and asked for an itemized list and they said they couldn't do it. They were acting like it was impossible to do, which it could've been impossible for them, I know. I mentioned I worked at Platos years back and their system did that. Everyone was pretty apologetic and then the defensive lady jumped in and was like "WE ARE TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM PLATOS CLOSET SO WHATEVER THEY DID WE DONT HAVE" and I was like I KNOW THAT ITS NOT THE SAME. I obviously know they're competitors but they were trying to tell me something like that was impossible and it's not! And I'm assuming I'm not the first person to ask for something like that. And then I saw her eyes rolling behind her masked face and I could tell she was getting rude. So I was like "I KNOW ITS NOT THE SAME, I'm just telling you that it's not out of the ordinary to think that something like this is possible." Anyway it wasn't possible and I walked away with $36 which is like $10 Per pair of boots that I should've sold on Poshmark. Live and learn. And that lady should be reprimanded because I've heard her be rude to others before, too. read more
