The staff here is incredibly nice! And the prices are amazing. Thanks for all you do.

This is my third time going to this location, The atmosphere has changed tremendously everybody is so sweet and kind and just amazing!!! I would highly recommend it place. You always find good deals if you have the right eye read more

Amazing selection! Great prices for name brands. Very well organized and easy to find your size!

I love this place. So much that I'm not sure I want everyone to know about it. I actually buy all my clothes here. The quality, selection and prices are amazing. It's organized extremely well, by size and color, so shopping is easy. Christine is particularly helpful. Plus, you can sell clothes to them for cash or store credit! I always take the store credit. read more

I love uptown! One of my favorite thrift stores/secondhand shops in town. Always a great selection with new items put out regularly. I've found so many good quality brand name items here that get so many compliments! The people who work here are also always super friendly and helpful! Also great because they allow dogs so I can shop with my pup and not worry about leaving her in the car or at home! read more

love this place. my go-to for selling and buying. better prices than that of pavement or buffalo.

UPDATE: So not only do you ignore actual problems, but you also like to call your customers rude, snide, hateful, and liars??? Whatever kind of business you're trying to run, this really isn't how you do it. 0/5 stars. Also, I sold with you in April as well as last month. LAST REVIEW: I'm not going out of my way to contact you- I am in your system as I've sold with you before. I ended up selling the dress to Buffalo for $80, which was sold by the next time I went in. It was a skinny blonde male with scruff who likes to wear grey that tried to offer me $4 last time, who had also been rude to me this time as well. Congrads on being "slightly down". I'm sorry your seller system is too inefficient to pull up customer names. Thank you for wasting my time :) read more

I seriously LOVE this place!!! Great deals, large array of items to select from, and good customer service. As with any type of resale shopping, you have to go with open mind and be prepared to dig a little but it's soooo worth it!! read more

I went to Uptown Cheapskate for a closed event where we had the store to ourselves, so this might not be the same experience when they are open to the public, but something says that they are always great! I have been to my fare share of thrift stores and this one is really nice! It is deceptively large when you walk in. They seemed to have a little bit of everything for everyone. There was a good sized men's area in the front of the store. This is something to note. Usually, when I walk into thrift stores it is all the women's clothes everywhere and there is a small, tucked away, hidden section for the men. I loved that they had sections in both the men's and women's area of actual retro items. They also had a large array of lines: from really expensive brands to your Forever 21 items. The sales associates went above and beyond! They were super friendly and helpful. My husband and I decided to have fun trying on items we chose for each other. One of the associates took my husband around the store and helped him find things that might look good on me and could fit me, when my husband would be completely in the dark. There was an associate in the dressing room area to help you with whatever you might need. She helped me zip my dress that I couldn't reach. And she was there to give me an extra eye. She was very positive and knowledgeable about the items I was trying on. I think they price the items very well. My husband found some shoes that were originally over $100 and still looked like in great shape for $40. They were even having a sale while we were there. I found several Free People items for under $10. I will definitely be back soon! read more

What fun my daughter and I had shopping and the discounts were amazing ! Some of the items that were on sale also happened to be buy one get one free. The staff also rocked . read more

I've shopped here a few times and it's always a good experience. They have a huge selection, great prices, and the employees are nice and helpful. There's a wide variety of clothing from funky and vintage to contemporary and brand name. The store can get a little crowded but it helps that someone always pops up to take your armful of clothing for you! Definitely recommend. read more

I always find something here! No shortage of great options. Would definitely recommend checking this place out

If you're looking for a few reasonable items and college aged, this is the place for you. I didn't see any career wear or anything that a working professional would be interested in. The ambience is super loud music, cement floors and young staff that didn't seem to be too interested in customers. I did notice the men's selection looked a bit more ample than the women's in selection. read more

Super happy with an Italian handbag I found here Craig and Amanda were super helpful and genuinely interested in fashion, and patient as my partner and I had our toddler in tow. Oh, and you get a discount on your birthday month! read more

Uptown Cheapskate - Austin - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Austin, Texas

I did some spring cleaning and gathered roughly 20-27 items of relatively nice brands and I only received $15. Im not sure if that's a fair price for what I brought or not but I feel that I got shorted. The staff was nice and helpful but probably wouldn't sell clothes here again. read more

I cannot go here without walking out with something new! I was searching for a new pair of jeans and found the perfect pair that look brand new. I love the quality of their items and could easily spend hours browsing the racks. I love this secondhand store! read more

What got me in the door was seeing a review where one girl claimed her "one of a kind" lmaoooo "pebbled" designer bag was lost and the multi paragraph response [from the company] that followed. The responses to the few one star reviews are pure gold. Like whoever is the customer service responder needs to check out a career in law. I am telling you-litigator in the making. So being that I'm traveling around America lately, I thought it would be easier to buy more clothes then leave my hotel to find a coin laundry-plus I wanted to get away from the downtown area. Well what a nice store! In real life I exclusively buy my clothes online, so it's very weird to go, like, into a store to get actual clothes. I felt like I was in the 90's and it was great. There's lots of selection and clothes are basically almost free with how low the prices are. I got this fly $6 shirt this says 'all you need is love and gangsta rap' and that about sums up my life, except I don't listen to rap, but my spirit animal probably does. Also huge shout out to the lovely sales woman with with the PERFECT hair color; you rock. Thanks for brightening my Texas Tour 2019. read more

Everyone is very helpful and great selection of clothing at reasonable prices! I'd definitely recommend others to visit!

My shopping experience at Uptown Cheapskate was fantastic! The semi annual sale was phenomenal and the organization of the store made shopping effortless! read more

Jason's awesome and so friendly. There are some people who work there that aren't as friendly, but they grow on me. I love this store because it's fair pricing. I feel like some stuff is a little pricey but when. They have there sales it's awesome! Thanks Jason and the crew at uptown cheapskate. :) read more

Everyone at this location is absolutely incredible. Tell the staff what you're looking for and they'll literally keep an eye out on all their exchanges for you. I always feel like I'm shopping with my friends when I go here, they're just amazing and so sweet!! Say hi to Joe and Alex for me! They always help me scope out items for my modeling shoots. I love them!!! - Taylor read more

This is my go-to location for Uptown Cheapskate. I I like their brands and the prices are pretty reasonable. They're usually the best spot around for good quality shoes as well. read more

All I gotta say is....THANK YOU UPTOWN CHEAPSKATE!!! For always having a last minute, affordable, adorable, vintage, anything I'm looking for to sing in for work look!!! I've been shopping here for years and no matter the season I always seem to find just what I'm looking for at a really good price that's gently used. Not only that if I bring in a little something that I haven't worn in my closet for a while then I get another little discount. The staff that works there is always the sweetest and helpful. Elisha!!! I especially love how organized everything is, too. It's not a cluster f*** like most consignment shops. This one is hip, clean, trendy and a fun place to shop. Wether you're looking for some cute tops, bottoms, casuals, dressy, fun night out or even shoes, bags, jewelry accessories, they've got it all! Even the men's section is growing, too. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - Austin - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Austin, Texas

My husband and I stopped by here as part of a little thrifting spree during our time in Austin at the end of January. I found a super fire Lacoste shirt with a raised logo, a cute yellow top, an oversized striped button-up and a pair of houndstooth Guess leggings. My husband found himself a couple of shirts. All in all, it was a pretty okay haul, they did have an extensive selection, some things were pretty pricey, nice but pricey, hey you get what you pay for right? We spent about $70 or so, so it wasn't too bad but differently could've been better. read more

Uptown Cheapskate is the best place to while away your afternoon selling clothes, and spending it all again on new stuff!

Always fun to shop here as you never know what you are going to find. Love picking up a shirt for my husband now and then too.

Cool COOL threads n great prices. My fave! I'm not too keen on specifics because I wanna see my favorite pieces there when I need them, but Uptown's got my favorite cool and chic brands and TONS of pants. They could, however, do better with the small men's selection. This city really does not do very well to offer too many items for those more sleek men (S, XS) sizes and more cool choices within those sizes. However Uptown does better than most. I always find something I like/LOVE there. Because I won't buy it unless I LOVE it! They could get better hats (bigger selection) though. But their shoes are AWESOME and threads are TOP! I will definitely return. read more

Do not go here to sell, they offer the least amount of money per item compared to any resale place i have been too. You are better off going to platos closet or just donating read more

Large selection, friendly staff, fairly organized and non-cluttered for a resale shop.

If you like shopping for one-of-a-kind items that just so happen to reduce your carbon footprint, kind, knowledgable employees, at an establishment that gives back to the community, this is the store for you! This place is an absolute gem. I find such unique, beautiful things here. And, to boot, their employees are so helpful and friendly. Yesterday I was there and had the most wonderful experience with Elijah, Jamie, and Hannah S. I was having a difficult day and not in the best mood when I walked in. When I walked out, I felt completely different thanks to them. Plus I had several awesome finds. I called today to let the manager, Jason, know, and he said he was going to take them out to lunch. This is the kind of store this is! It makes me want to shop there all the more, knowing they really care about their employees, in addition to their customers. I also love that they donate the items that they can't sell and that the customer consents to them donating to an organization that turns it in usable materials. They don't just throw it away and dump it in a landfill. So you can feel good about the items you can't sell, too. It's a win-win-win! I hope Elijah, Jamie, Hannah, and Jason had a wonderful lunch today, and, as usual, I can't wait to make my way back to Uptown Cheapskate! read more

I've bought and sold here, and I've had good experiences on both sides. Everyone is so nice! They have a great and affordable and eclectic selection - my style tends toward the 40s/50s/60s and I have yet to walk out of here empty-handed. On the selling side, I'm going through a major destash and they were super psyched to get all my vintage-inspired dresses and boots. VERY glad to finally find a home for them! That other store (er, the one up by UT) caters to 19 year olds and usually isn't interested. Pro tip: read the vendor instructions on their site before you go. You can totally just drop stuff off and they'll call you when your buy is processed (awesome), but if you stay in the store you get priority. I got there right when they opened on a Saturday and was in and out in an hour. Awesome. Many friends recommended this place to me and I'm so glad they did! read more

Wrote a poor review previously about my experiences. Management response picked apart and argued with every bit of my complaint in a less-than-professional manner. I suppose rating honestly is unacceptable. Here goes round 2! read more

Went all the way across Austin to pick up some spring staples because I know they never disappoint with their selection

I love this place. It's well organized and the prices are right on. I'm a M/L and there are always plenty of options- I've shopped off the rack and at the crazed bag sales. Store has a wide variety of unique brands as well. The staff is pretty nice and helpful. My style is super basic and I'm very picky, but I always manage to find stuff. My only issue is that I bought a of couple dresses that I got home and realized that they STUNK, but that's what washing machines are for. I've never consigned anything but will in the future. read more

While I like the location and some of the clothes are nice, they don't really cater to plus size, so it's pointless to go there for anything if you're over a size 12. My selling experience there, twice, hasn't been the best. First time I went with a huge bag of clothes and got $15. That's nice, I was going to donate the clothes anyway. Well, I came back this time, knowing Denim is a good seller, and that's one of the kids behind the counter told me (yes kids, as these are high school to college age kids who are supposed to know what is "trendy" but Austin has it's own type of trendiness), but my ripped jeans, which is the style STILL, were not accepted. Also, I had a bag of shoes that not only had shoes better looking than some they were selling, but they forgot about my bag of shoes, and tried to tell me about someone else's shoes, and then tried to tell me my rarely work, high top converse, in better shape than the ones they had, and are worth about $100 new, were not taken. Granted, I was still going to donate, but really? These converse are always in season and they were almost brand new. They get a Meh, because the first time I went there, it was OK, but this last time I went, it was so awful, they don't cater to plus size, and they don't know how to price their clothes/shoes correctly when buying from customers. I'm a tried and true, born and raised Austinite. I've seen the changes done to the city, and apparently, Uptown is trying to be like New York, and needs to slow down, as this is Texas, and we take it smooth. read more

Recently brought three large bags full of mixed clothing (designer and basic) for sell. I was previously informed that dropping off first thing in the AM would prove beneficial in expediting the buying process. I arrived at opening (11:37AM on a Sunday), and was informed that they had been slammed (within the first 5 minutes of opening). Ok - totally understandable - I am not the only person trying to sell items on a Sunday. Informed it would be an hour. Ok, no problem... Went home, and waited to receive a call upon completion. After many hours, I had to contact them (around 5:30PM - store closes earlier on Sunday's). At that time, I was told I could come in by close (6PM, I believe), and the buy would be completed. I arrived about 5 minutes before closing; was informed that the buy hadn't even been looked at; and will not be until the following day. Again, understandable...They had been slammed - totally get it. I received a notification the following day that I was being offered $4.00 for my items. Four bucks. I dropped off at least 100 items of clothing - nearly half being designer items (not exaggerating). Now, I understand the buying process, and all of the factors that are considered when items are purchased from a seller. I've sold to Uptown before... Far less items, and received a much larger buyout (i.e. one bag of clothing and offered upwards of $75.00). But this go around was almost like a slap in the face. I would have been better off just donating to Goodwill. Let's be real - I'm certainly not looking to get rich off of these transactions. I simply wanted to share my experience with interested readers. After reading a few management responses, I noticed a definite tone through the owner - one that is not typical of most Austin business owners. By all means, stake your ground... but remember, you are in the business of customer service and retail. All in all, I was floored at some of the owners responses - but that is aside the point. I am not looking for management to respond, nor address my concerns... I'm over it. Lesson learned - It may be best to simply donate to Goodwill down the street. You may not receive any cash money for your donations, but at least you know it's going to a good place. Overall, Uptown is cool. You should check them out for yourself. The staff is usually friendly, and they are typically pretty fair with sells. I suppose I was just disappointed in the owner's approach to customer concerns. It's all about supporting local business. But it should be a business you believe in, and want to support. I would never bash Uptown, but I am not sure I'll ever return. read more

This is my favorite thrift store! I go there almost once a week and i am always successful. The people there are so nice and very helpful. Great prices and amazing variety. Go there immediately!! read more

I sold here today for the second time. The first time I didn't bring that many things in, this time I brought in quite a bit. The staff took time to go through all of my stuff and did it in a really quick manner. I got a really great buyout from them, and they took quite a few items for me. They were pretty busy, and the staff let me know right away that it would be about a 45 minute wait. That was no problem! There are plenty of cute clothes to look through while you're waiting. Even though wait time was accurate, when I got my buyout, they apologized for the wait and gave me a five dollar coupon to use! They were so friendly and the whole staff has such a great customer service! They have so many cute things in the store as well, which makes me understand when they don't take all of my items. A lot of my items really aren't in style anymore, and all of the stuff that they sell is! The main thing that made the experience enjoyable was how nice all of the staff is. I'll definitely come back read more

Have been shopping and selling clothes here for 2 years now. I honestly can't think of a better place to trade the old for the new! read more

Uptown Cheapskate - Austin - Jeans on jeans - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Austin, Texas

We bought clothing from them a few months ago. My daughter didn't even wear them at all. So we eventually went to trade them in and they wouldn't "buy back or trade" even one item. We were told that they looked too worn and that they were also out of date. Not happy at all with them. As we waited the hour it took them to go through our things, we browsed and I came across so many damaged and worn out looking items. Won't be going back in. read more
