I loved this particular Uptown Cheapskate ever since I was a student at TXST. After graduating, every time I'm in San Marcos, I always stop here and each time, I have always left with some items. After looking at some reviews, I do agree, majority of the clothes are leaning more towards the younger audience, but it makes sense because it is located in a college town. The clothes I see in Dallas are more diverse, but leaning more towards the mature side. So, the clothes they have do depend on the location of the Uptown. For this particular location, I think they're pretty good on having clothes that are trendy and up-to-date for college students. The most recent visit I had was very pleasant. They were doing an event for an anniversary and I was welcomed with a coupon at the door which was nice! I ended up a few things including a pair of Aerie Crossover Flowy Shorts for such an amazing price that I couldn't even find looking through Depop and Poshmark. After checking out, I was given a swag bag that had some cute pieces in there and I left with a cookie lol. I love and miss San Marcos so much! This place is also one of the reasons why I enjoy coming back. I remember thrifting in SanMo wasn't always the best specifically for me, but I think this place is guaranteed to have the items you're looking for. Of course, Uptown will cost more than a thrift store, but I don't mind that because it makes it more efficient for me to find items in excellent condition. read more

WORST PLACE TO BUY/SELL I came in to donate miss me jeans, dickies, juicy, Victoria secret, pacsun. All kinds of brand new& name brand clothes. They told me it was not in style, yet had the SAME THINGS ON THE RACK. Comical. Then the manger was useless. Typical. Save yourself some time and stay away from this shit show. read more

I walked into this store after having heard so much about it and I was very hopeful about finding some fun, inexpensive items for the upcoming holidays. I found a really cute, retro vibe floral dress. Sadly, the back of the strap was torn and knotted to hold it together. I tried on several items and ended up with a "retro" Jaclyn Smith small corduroy dress. While they had some fun shoe selections, they were very overpriced for the amount of wear and tear. When I used Apple Pay I had to actually dig out my card. The manager said they always have trouble when it's Apple Pay Mastercard. Hopefully they will look into correcting that issue soon. All of the staff were very kind and helpful. I will give this store another shot after the holidays. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - San Marcos - The cute "retro" dress and jacket I found. The jacket is still there, ladies! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

This location is friendly and pretty quick to move considering it was a Saturday at peak time. I was selling and feel what i was offered was very fair. The girls working were personable and I appreciate that! Lots of smiles. :) read more

I had seen Uptown Cheapskate on Instagram and wanted to go. It's great! Large selection of clothing, shoes, and accessories in either new or in very good used condition. The store is very well organized and clean. I found a great pair of Hudson jeans for only $23.00 and would have shopped longer but the husband was impatient. Next time, I go alone! read more

Absolutely the worst service when selling, couldn't help me or give me my things back. Not communicated well and don't let you answer to accepting offers or not without doing what they want regardless of what you say or don't! read more

You have to be really young for them to take your clothes. And a size 0 I was planning to buy clothes for my granddaughters who are in college, but after I took the clothes there and they did not accept one single one, I took clothes with brand new tags and they rejected everything I took in. I would give them a 0 but it's not listed read more

This resale shop is on Aquarena Springs Drive next to a Subway. It is a clothes resale store that also has a big selection of shoes and a small selection of purses. Everything on the racks appears to be about half of the original retail price or less, but no Goodwill pricing here. This isn't just a women's clothing store, they also have men's and children's clothing as well. It's a good place to find some quality threads. They deserve 3 1/2 stars which means a good acceptable business to check out, it does not denote mediocrity. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - San Marcos - Men's clothing - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

See all

After my mama passed away, I inherited a ridiculous amount of designer clothing, purses, and shoes...ALL with tags still on them. Unfortunately, mama was a lot smaller than I am in clothes and shoes, so I needed to find somewhere to take them. I was to the point of just wanting it gone as it was overwhelming seeing it in my closet and bedroom taking up space. So, I gathered 5-6 bags/totes and headed up there. Brought everything inside, and chose to wait for them to go thru it. It took about an hour (was on a Sunday), but they had a place I could sit after browsing the racks of goodies. I did notice they offer a great selection for men AND women, including larger sizes! They have a nice variety of accessories as well, new and gently loved. After all was said and done, I chose the cash payment and left the remaining items for them to donate to Purple Heart. I decided to give them a few weeks before I bring in the next load of purses and shoes read more

Big fan of this little shop there is always nice variety to choose at great prices. Staff is friendly as well.

Barbi lives in Montrose, nowhere near Uptown (thankfully), but she definitely has the Cheapskate part down. I mean you should see how frugal this goddess is, but not when it comes to her cats, her man (well sometimes), and her porn outfits. But anyway. This is a great consignment store and there's another one up in the ATX, and we've been to both of them. We like this one in San Marcos the best, and the main problem for us was the line at checkout, which seemed a little unnecessary because they could have just had more registers open, there were several other employees not too busy. Regardless, this is definitely a really nice place to get consignment clothing and youth clothing and they're friendly and there's a lot of original and unique stuff in here. The San Marcos store has a great selection and is probably twice as big as the other location so we like it better. Just make sure you time your trip up to the register for when there's nobody in front of you because otherwise you might wait for a while. read more

Great thrift store! Lots of nice clothes at a great price. They also have tons of name brand clothing! You can also take your used clothing and get money back for selected items or store credit. Great for college students or anyone that is needing clothing at great prices. I highly recommend! Excellent customer service! read more

My daughter and I love searching your racks. So many cool items. Great selection! The staff was super friendly.

The quality and price of the clothing here is very good. The store is clean and the employees were very pleasant and helpful.

"I had a great experience shopping here! The staff was super friendly and the clothes were stylish, affordable, and high quality. I'll definitely be coming back!" read more

The service was amazing and the prices were reasonable and not ridiculous. The prices in Torrance, Ca are unbelievable ridiculous almost laughable, which is why I go elsewhere. The service is awful in California, I almost did not go to San Marcos for this reason. Glad I did! You guys did not disappoint! But I promise you this, I will be back to San Marcos! Thank you so much! read more

Everything went smoothly. We did bring a lot of clothes that were better for summer which I understand why they didn't take anything. I did enjoy the option to donate all our clothes without having to take them back with us. They gave us some points for our visit and donation which was a nice touch. The selection of clothes is abundant just didn't see anything that peaked my interest at the time I went. Maybe in the future I'll visit again and see if I find something I love! Since I didn't see anything I was super interested in clothing wise, prices seems pretty fair for the condition of the items to. Love that they have name brand clothing for about a third of the retail cost. Just depending of what your looking for you can find some very nice staple pieces for any wardrobe. read more

I love love love this store. Always my go to when I need something fast because they always have something cute! I know I won't be let down. They have an awesome shoe selection for both men and women and always have cute jewelry! read more

Absolutely LOVE LOVE the style/types/brands in this store, however i tend to see a lot of the same stuff, feeling like my visits are super spaced out, I just wish there was a better rotation of items. read more

Love the shop and always get Great staff assistance!! I sure stop every time I go through San Marcos!

Never disappointed when I come to this store. Everyone is always so helpful and I always walk out with my arms full.

Great place to go for current styles that are in great shape at a great price. My kids love this place. I also sell here and they give you a fair price for clothes. read more

Went there to take some clothes in really great condition and popular brands. This store would not take them because they said they would not sell. A bunch of bs!! read more

They had a wide variety of clothing options, ranging from vintage, high end, to everyday wear. The employees were also incredibly helpful, one of them noticed I was walking around with a heavy stack of clothes in my arms and offered to hold them for me behind the counter. Definitely one of the best thrift hauls I've had in a while!! read more

Went in looking for an army green denim jacket and found more stylish/trending clothing! Everything is super affordable and in great condition. Some even new with tags. I would definitely recommend Uptown Cheapskate if you're looking for a last minute outfit or staples for your closet! read more

This location is always immaculate, the staff is friendly, the buyers are so fast, and the payout is better than most! Definitely my go to!

Love coming here to exchange my clothes! Sometimes I don't have much luck, but there are days that I find great deals and sometimes they actually want my stuff! The staff are always friendly and give me some suggestions for what they are mostly looking for which helps me for my next exchange! Thank you Uptown for helping ya broke girl out read more

Love getting cute clothes here. Very trendy. The staff is always helpful and very friendly.

Seller beware. I took a full container of clothes to try to sale. The girl quoted me 30-45 minutes. I went outside to wait and she called me Less than 20mins later to say that they could not take any of my clothes "due to some styles that don't sell well at this location". Which is hard to believe that none of my items would take. I definitely had brands listed on the doors in great condition and many other higher priced brands. As I was emptying my container into bags to donate I realized that they DID NOT even go through my container because everything was perfectly stacked like I had it and you could tell they only did the very top portion. I probably made the mistake of putting jeans on top but as a store that says they go through the clothes to price then it would be nice if you ACTUALLY took the time and went through the clothes. Hopefully my clothes are ACTUALLY donated. read more

Cool little place. My teens like coming through here and looking for good deals. It's clean, organized, and the staff is friendly. I usually hit up the nearby boba shop to kill time. In my opinion, some things are a little pricey for a thrift shop, but the items they sell are clean and in good condition. Some even look brand new. read more

I LOVE this Uptown Cheapskate location!! There's always up to date styles & fun finds.

If you are older than gen z, don't expect to be able to sell anything here. As a millennial I know some of our "trends" are going out of style. However when I bring in items like plain tees, NICE denim jeans and Jean shorts, dresses with tags still on them, etc and they still buy nothing, it baffles me. They have shirts on the rack with literally looney toons characters on them but they won't buy solid color tops or jeans from Abercrombie that were purchased NEW within the last few months? On top of that they require that you stay in the shopping center for an hour and a half when they sort your clothes and say if you're not back in 2 minutes from when they call, they'll donate your items. This place and the management team has a serious stick up their you know what ‍ read more

I love the clothes there and they are always in good condition. The workers are really nice as well. read more

Uptown Cheapskate - San Marcos - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord! Such visions of beheld wonderment can only be of divine origin, no? God must have given the devil the weather that day. Oppressive heat cast me from my cosmic journey on foot. Respite could only be found in the brick and mortar establishment known as Uptown Cheapskates. Upon entry I realized that God was still in control and I was a part of her plan. Not only was there an environment markedly different than the hellscape outside, but a mercantile's delight drew guffaw and spectacle these eyes had not seen since the Walls of Tanagra rose and fell like Poseidon's tide. A man without a tie is like a horse without a gun. I was the horse and Cheapskates was the gelatin factory that jiggled my heart. A bowtie of polkadotted arabesque had found it's way around me neck. Twernt the first time I had been saddled but it was mine first Rodeo. I was lassoed and immediately gave the tradeswoman the Hyde from my purse . I wound the bowtie up and took flight. My my, what Glory, what a ride. read more

Has something for everyone, as a person who is a bit bigger than most going to other places I can never find something for me and my size. Uptown Cheapskate has clothes in all types of sizes. Both great quality and affordable clothing, shoes, etc. Plus it is the most organized place I have ever been to. read more

Really nice and organized place I go here all the time to buy and sell. Very nice employees and very helpful.

I took two bags of clothes and I got no cash at all.. they said my clothes were not what they were looking for ! mind you I have good name brands and good clothing .. expensive ones too!! Just to mention ,. American eagle ., and pink very disappointed with this place. I ended up donating all the clothing to them.. I wonder if they sold it anyway! Wow! read more

Great experience and glad to help the planet by up-cycling. I know you have stuff in your closet that is cool but that you haven't worn recently. Give it a new home and turn it into cash or new merch that you will wear! read more

Really great place to shop for gently used and some new clothing. Sold some gently used shoes and received a great return on them. Staff is always friendly and they've always got some great music playing while you shop. Very organized and easy to shop. read more

Great service! I find everything I'm looking for. If your looking for a good thrift store go to uptown !
