Uptown Cheapskate- Chandler

Was not impressed at all. Staff were rude, store was a mess and the clothing and accessories they had seemed to be from years back. Definitely will not be back.

So happy to find this place! We were going to drive cross town to visit both Buffalo Exchange and Plato’s Closet, but we decided to stop in here first as it was just across the street. We found it on Unilocal and saw it was well reviewed, so figured it was worth a try. Both my daughter and I came out with armloads of clothes at super reasonable prices. We are thrilled and glad to know there are other franchises of this clothing store in Northern Phoenix and across the country.

I really enjoyed coming here after I first discovered it and frequented it often. However lately they have been more of a disappointment and from previous reviews I realize other people have shared this as well. I bought a couple nice purses and jeans, but I’ve struggled to find much clothes for larger people (I’m a size ¹³⁄₁₄ in jeans) which has been a problem as well. Unfortunately, I think it’s time to take break from here. I had a fantastic first impression but after being disappointed so many times I can’t really see a reason to continue shopping there.

The store is well organized and easy to find your sizes or colors. I was disappointed in the brands the store carries. Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Jennifer Lopez. I was hoping for Express, Ann Taylor, Limited or Gap. I bought a pair of Gap jeans and an Ann Taylor Loft shirt but those were diamonds in the rough. Also the prices are high. I can find brand new shirts or jeans on sale or at TJ Max for the same prices. Gap jeans were 14.99 and Ann Taylor Loft shirt was 13.99.

It’s an okay place if you are looking to save money on clothes. They have a wide variety and it’s a good sized store. But their prices are similar to Ross and TJ Maxx’s. So for me, I’m going to stick to those stores and get something unworn.
Also, I would never sell here. I brought in some stuff I was given and never worn and felt like the prices they offered weren’t fair. If you sell to them make sure it’s in style from the last few months and in season. And you’ll get about $ 2 an item from them. So for me, I’m going to just stick to donating to Goodwill!

My first impression of this place was good, because it’s big and decently organized for a resale shop. At a glance I saw some nice items too, on the end caps, so I had high hopes. However, when I took a closer look through the rows of clothes I was disappointed to see the same old garbage that places like Plato’s Closet is full of (think Charlotte Russe). Sad. :(
I decided to take some stuff in to sell, and I brought a wide variety since that’s what the store seemed to have. I’ve seen review after review of these types of shops where people complain about how little they got paid or whatnot, and I can promise you I’m giving a fair report back and not just complaining that I didn’t get paid big bucks for worthless clothes.
I brought unworn stuff (some even still had tags) from Guess, Coach, Bebe, True Religion, Paige jeans, BCBG, Express, Forever 21, etc. The buyer somehow managed to go through it in in like two seconds, so I didn’t have high hopes that they would buy much… it would have been physically impossible for her to have even seen half of it. They offered to buy ONE thing. I didn’t take the offer and took my stuff to a different store. At the next store I tried, I sold all the jeans, a dress, and two pairs of shoes. Much more worthwhile! Safe to say I will never bother taking anything to sell to Upscale Cheapskate again!

Great for those of us with teenagers who want that perfect shirt that no one else has. Great selection and the staff is always friendly

I love this store! They have a good variety and deals! Way better than Platos Closet.

The staff was nice when I went to sell my items, but since I thought it said uptown in its name, I thought they’d like the name brand men’s shirts I had, but the store is geared more towards trendy young who like H&M…so my items were not bought but if I were younger there’d be stuff that I’d like. it seemed organized and affordable but I think the stuff I had was more for mature men…

I was looking for a better thrift shop and I found this one online. The inside reminds me of being at a Urban Outfitters. There is a really big selection and the prices are very reasonable. I really enjoyed my experience there. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone that wants to find great cloths at a very cheap price.

Where do I even start?! This place ROCKS. I came here today for the first time, and I am beyond impressed. I used to go to Name Brand Exchange all the time, and boy am I glad I made the switch. When I first walked through the door, I saw that the place was very well organized and looked more like a boutique than a consignment store. I walked to the sell counter and the staff treated me very nicely. Awesome– already better than NBE. She took my trash bag of clothes and began to search through them. I browsed around the store while she was looking, and I found a BUNCH of cute stuff for nothing over $ 8. Another thing that I liked was when I looked through the racks, I saw NOTHING stained or torn. You can tell they are very particular when making a purchase. When I went to see how much trade in she would give me for my clothes, it was refreshing to hear $ 48 when she only took half of the trash bag. I was very happy with my purchases, and I will be back very soon.

Uptown Cheapskate in Chandler, Arizona is an excellent store for you to buy stylish, gently used clothing with designer brands like Coach, Michael Kors, Express, Anthropologie, J. Crew, Urban Outfitters and more well below retail prices. If you have clothes you no longer wear, bring them by as they will buy your stylish items (both girls and guys). You don’t need an appointment, just drop in. My wife brought in several items and had cash in hand fast! We attended the Grand Opening and they were giving away an iPhone and many other gift cards. Wow!
