Uptown Cheapskate – Oakland Park

Great place to shop! Just the other day I bought 4 nice, name-​brand dress shirts, & a pair of dress pants for only $ 38! The staff have always been friendly & helpful. I first found out about Uptown Cheapskate when I lived in Maryland, & I went there all the time! I’m glad to have Uptown in South Florida too. Will definitely be visiting this store often.

This place is SO much better than Platos Closet if you’re looking to sell! They consider a much wider variety and don’t require the same very limited scope of clothing for consideration. The amount they pay out is much more reasonable and the owner is VERY nice, will be back soon!

It’s second time I shop there. I love the concept even if it’s sometimes overpriced, its like they forgot this is second hand, I still founded great deals (stuff that i wont find other places) This time brought the husband and kid. Suprise: no customers restrooms! She said there is one but it’s very dirty… Than go clean it, damn it! I was piss off… I left and went to dollar three to pipi. As a business consultant… I was frustrated and couldn’t imagine how much people they lost, because I didn’t buy anything, I went to Ross instead.

Went there at noon & they said 1 hour wait… I’m like OK… They said you can leave it & we’ll call you… I’m like,. OK. 5 hours later I call… They’re like «we haven’t looked at your stuff yet, call us in like an hour»… I’m like «OK». Couple of hours later they call,. «Hi, we’re gonna pass on ALL your stuff». Mind you, I asked what do you buy? They’re like «basically name brand stuff»… Soooo I take tons of shoes and clothes NEW and ALMOST NEW Condition. DKNY, Calvin Klein, Anne Klein, Michael Kors, RLauren, Bisou Bisou, Kenneth Cole, Claiborne, Jones NY, etc… Name brand stuff they want is express, old navy, and forever 21… LMAO… I’ll get more for one pair of my shoes on eBay than they could pay for my whole lot. Guess it works for 15-​year-​olds :)

Wow! Tons of amazing designer names super cheap! They won me over when i found a lily pulitzer dress for only 9.99!!! The staff is also super helpful and friendly! This is my go to clothing store! Why pay full retail when you got this gem?! Ill be so bummed when i gotta leave florida and not have this store to go to!

Now here is a store that had the potential to beat Platos Closet at their own game… gently worn clothes on the cheap. Whatever Plato’s won’t buy, bring here! Store is efficiently arranged and it also has menswear. This store is packed with merchandise.
Heres a few things I would change:
1) super loud strip club music:(
2) store smells like dirty laundry. Look into spartan «airlift» which Plato’s uses.
3) it was hot and musty. Fans were on around store so maybe a.c. issues?
Excellent help provided by Matt.

I decided to stop by this place considering I do not get out to Fort Lauderdale much and since fashion is my weakness… and research led me to this gem of a place. I love Plato’s, but this place was a tad bit better. I was a big fan of how well the store was organized. I do not know about you but organization plays a crucial role when it comes to shopping for clothes. Organization makes the experience worthwhile and enjoyable, as opposed to having fashion anxiety. The pricing was excellent too, the clothes were already inexpensive and apparently it was my lucky day because a lot of the clothes were on clearance.
Uptown Cheapskate is the same concept as Plato’s where you go to purchase gently used clothing, and simultaneously you can sell your clothes just as long as they are in good condition and up to date with the current fashion trends. You will find a variety of brand names here such as American Eagle, Banana Republic, Top Shop, H&M, Forever 21, J. Crew, Urban Outfitters, and Michael Kors. Not only does this location have a great selection for clothing… the accessories, and purses were not too shabby either.
If you are looking to look fierce on a budget, this is definitely your place. This store is pretty much thrift on crack. I pretty much walked out with a bohemian kimono for like $ 3.00 dollars, which typically runs anywhere from $ 20.00 to $ 40.00. You will be able to get several outfits for under a $ 100.00, I mean you cannot beat that price. The customer service was through the roof, the staff was super friendly. I love a great shopping day. Uptown Cheapskate equals Uptown Awesomeness in my book. The best analogy I can think of is ordering a Filet Mignon, and paying McDonald’s prices… a shopper’s dream come true.

Our fill a bag was a huge success! Hope to see you all again in our Mother’s Day and Memorial Day sale too!

Lots! of items, all very well organized. Reasonable prices.

The best way I can describe this store is the ‘designer’ version of Plato’s. They can even buy your old stuff if you bring it in! They have a sizeable men’s collection in the front of the store and the whole back half is women’s clothing and shoes and jewelry is housed at the register. Everything is nicely sorted and organized by color and size.
I’d definitely be a regular if I lived closer!

Store is very clean and organized, the racks aren’t overstuffed so I’m not struggling to sift through it. The employees are all very friendly and helpful, everyone has such a good vibe. One of the best customer service I’ve gotten anywhere.

Brand new tahari shirt with $ 150 tag for $ 25. What??? Unbelievable deal. My new favorite store. Coming back for the Burberry shirts.

I’m able to have a nice wardrobe for work on the cheap; I’ve been telling everyone about this place, everyone there is very helpful!!!

I would highly advise not to go to this store. The staff are extremely unprofessional, and buy your clothes on their feelings toward you and not the clothes u r trying to sell. Unless your clothing is dry cleaned and on hangers they will not buy it.

Awesome experience the place is so clean I didn’t even know it was a thrift shop… I got super board shorts for my boys for under $ 6…Beautiful designer purses and shoes. will take trade-​ins! Owner is lovely… when you need something different & special… check this place out! Colognes @ 50% off too!

I went there for the first time and it es a good experience sold some stuff but they couldn’t take all of it. My cloth was in good quality and washed. They paid me 45 $ which them I used in store. They have really good stuff but you have to look and some stuff is a little over priced but great experience.

Went there today and sold a few things. The store itself is set up real nice. If you have the time to look around you can find some good bargains, but them there are a few things that are a little overpriced. But the staff are amazing and are willing to help you. I plan on going back this weekend when I have more time to actually shop. :)
