Uptown Cheapskate College Park, open since 2019, is a quality store offering low prices on new and second-hand clothing, shoes, handbags, and jewelry from favorite brands and designers. It is not your average thrift store, providing a wide selection of current, stylish items in great condition, organized by size and color, and feels more like a regular name brand retail store. Customers can earn cash on the spot when selling their like-new fashions. The store is kept in impeccable shape and the staff is super-friendly and available to help. However, the buying counter is frequently frustrating and unorganized, sometimes closed 45 minutes after opening, which can be a waste of time. Some negative reviews stem from sellers unsatisfied with the money offered, but it is a thrift store and top notch money is not the expectation. This location stands out for its callback, text back, and email back process after merchandise inspection, creating a quick turnaround and a more efficient selling experience compared to other locations. They are also noted as more willing to buy items. While the buying process can be improved, the store itself is great, with great prices for branded clothes and something for everyone in the community.
High end thrift store that has a great selection, a bit pricey but high quality

Very unclear communication as to what they are willing to accept or purchase from the original point of communication. There should be a procedure set in place to clearly outline their process; as to which items could be taken.

I've been to two other UC locations and this one did not disappoint. The tough reviews have to be from sellers not getting what they want because the items on the shelves are great. I saw a lot of brands I hadn't found at other stores and the shoes in particular were in good condition. The staff was courteous and helpful.
