Exchange It Up

They’re permanently closing so they’re having a 50% off of everything sale right now!
The last day is February 29^th.
Note: They are not buying anything anymore (as expected), just selling.

Stopped in Mira Mesa for business. After having dinner at Red Lobster we dicided to walk around. The second hand store was clean and well organized. My wife found a couple items. After 5 min they started turning off lights and let us know the were closing in 5 min. So we rushed and payed. and as we walked out they locked the door behind us and turned off all lights. Then I looked at my watch. it was 15 minutes before their posted closing time. smh. I wonder if the busness owner knows that their staff is closing early or more importantly rushing actual buys out the door.

This place was awesome! They have a wide range of clothes for women and the girls working there were friendly. I found a few great pieces for only 8 – 10 dollars! Go check it out.

I cannot explain how happy I was to «stumble» upon this lovely place! The selection is amazing; clothes, bags. shirts, skirts, shorts, tank tops, wallets, etc. etc. I was absolutely pleased with the customer service and friendly demonor of the staff :)
i will be going back to Exchange it Up many times; to sell, trade and purchase.
The store is clean and the there is plenty of parking in the shopping centers parking lot.
I recommend this place to anyone looking to sell clothing/​accessories or wanting to shop for awesome stuff, at an awesome price!
:)

This place is great for juniors. They always are more than fair on buys. My daughter never comes out of this shop empty handed… and always spends a fraction of what she would in any other store for the same kind of items.
Not quite a 5… because I personally can’t stand the music, kind of dark and dingy, and sometimes the clerks are a little «mean girl» bizarre fashionista-​ish. But other than that, good place for teens to find some fashion items.

I feel kind of mixed about this store, they have a ton of clothing but a lot of it is outdated. The prices were alright, a little bit higher than Goodwill or The Salvation Army. Every Time I’ve come into the store the staff was always friendly, it’s generally pretty clean and organized too.

For a ‘thrift store’ this is really awesome. I’ve gotten tank tops and shorts for such a low price and they are all cute. They even got clothes from just the last season. I was eyeing on this tank top from Target but didn’t get it. But half a year later I found it at exchange it up for a ¹⁄₃ of the original price from Target! I also got 4 pairs of cute shorts for less than $ 20. awesome. not to mention you are being green by wearing second-​hand clothes and not contributing (or contributing less) to the fast fashion culture.

I honestly used to love this place because they had really good sales depending on the colored tags and what not. It was until they decided their used clothes were really worth more than any other retail.
Sometimes they have really good items, but more often you will see «DIY/​custom/​shredded/​cut up» jeans turned into shorts or plain shirts. Definitely not worth more than $ 10, sorry!
Their store is pretty clean, their workers are polite and helpful, but other than that, I wouldn’t come back unless they have deals.

I love coming to exchange it up. They have so many clothes that still have tags on them for a fraction of the cost. They have jewelry, and even a maternity section (for those of you who don’t want to pay beaucoup bucks for something you’ll only wear late pregnancy).
They also buy back clothes, and while you may not get what you want for those garments you may have only worn once, there may be no other place that will take them for anything. It also helps if your clothes are in season.
The shop owner (Tye, I believe his name is) is so warm and so professional. It’s nice to see people who actually care about their business.
I hope they stick around!

Well I certainly shan’t
try to sell my «brand name»
clothing or footware here…
Was told that boots were «out of season».
Boots all over store.
Boots everywhere you look on the streets.
San Diego doesn’t exactly have seasons.
Nice try, Teen Vogue robot.

Great store! The women who work there are always very helpful. They have the greatest finds at the greatest prices! I bought a pair of white knee high Doc Marten’s for only $ 30! Amazing! Plus the store credit you get for trading in your clothes isn’t unreasonable. Definatley worth stopping by.

Super organized store with high end items at a low cost. Items are in great condition and there is a huge selection! I can never get enough of this store!

Sorry, I have seen better thrift stores. Tho ppl who work there are pretty nice n helpful.
Exchange it up is ridiculously expensive. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t buy anything.:(

The girls are always nice when I come into the store. There’s seriously stuff for just about anyone here. They have a great assortment of clothes in all sizes. I shop here mostly for my brother and sister, but I’ve end found clothes for my grandma! :P
I have yet to see some stuff unreasonably priced. RVCA jeans for less than $ 20, Diamond Supply and Crook & Castles shirts for $ 5, LV bags for $ 100. This place is rad.

What. The. Heck!
Why haven’t I been here earlier?
MAJOR clothing-​tip to Carolyn A for bringing this place to my attention.
I have gone to this plaza plently of time to grab food for lunch, since I work nearby, and I have never thought of actually coming in.
I stepped into the door and literally couldn’t wrap my mind on how many awesome stuff they have in here. It ranges to clothes/​shoes/​hats/​belts to Halloween costumes, skateboards, and nail polish. This place really is amazing and the clothes they carry are brand naming clothes.
I came here to purchase a Halloween costume. The super friendly guy up front (didn’t catch his name) told me that they are carring halloween costumes up front. He told me to check this warrior princess costume which the costume itself is worth $ 80, but the price to purchase it at this awesome store is $ 15!
After looking around for a bit, I decided to purchase it because of its stellar deal. I went up front to the associate to complete the sale, and the price the store actually had it for was $ 20. The guy who told me about the costume overheard the sale and he said to the cashier, «I’m a man of my word. Make the price $ 15.»
I am completely satisfied with the customer service and amazing vibe I get when shopping here. If your looking for awesome deals on brand-​naming clothing and accessories, I highly recommend checking this place.
I have now been here twice and couldn’t be more happier with my purchases.

This is not only a second hand store it is also a place where you could sell your items, they do have a list to go by however each buyer has their preferences. The owner works in the afternoon and is open and honest. He also will solve any problems that the store is having. (Long story short he took action with my situation). I come here not only to sell my clothes but also to shop most of the employees (I say most because well Tye knows…) are also nice, honest & trustful.
I could be wrong but I would like to say with selling items they give you 20% in cash and 40% in store credit.
PRO
— have great sales
— have awesome brands with tons to look through
— sell new items
CON
it may look like a large lot however spaces are limited.

First time walking in as a customer — No one greeted me. The store was empty. Just me and the staff. Not a damn word. Must be nice working here. Just standing there talking to your friend all day and not paying attention to anything else. Jeans were over priced too. They have a looooooot of jeans, and all over priced.
The second time I walked in, I tried selling here. a girl said «hi», asked me if I had sold to them before, and then told me their new policy.
Recently, they changed their policy due to the amount of overstock they have (coughnotsellingasmuchastheyneedtocough). They now only accept designer items (such Coach, Guess, MK, and higher). I sold them 3 coach bags (1 was dirty on the corners. 1 was perfectly fine. 1 had a tiny red dot the size of pencil eraser), a perfectly fine Coach key chain, and 1 3.4 oz Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker perfume (I only used it a few times).
How much did I get back? $ 26.
they give you 20% of the price they sell it at their store for.
That is
really
really
really
really
low.
Feeling unsure as where to go to sell, I took the $ 26.
I tried selling a Guess bag there too. It had a little something on it that I hadn’t noticed before, but it could easily be wiped away. The staff said no because of what was on it. Afterwards, I just walked to my car, took a wet napkin, and wiped it off. Fucking simple.

So, I came here selling some things that I first tried at Buffalo Exchange. There were a few women working there when I walked in and I wasn’t greeted by any of them. They all had these stone cold B faces… total RBF’s.
Well, I didn’t totally judge a book by its cover. The girl who ended up helping me was actually pretty nice. She even told me to come back when the manager works so that I could a lil bit more money than she could offer.
With that said, if you want cash for your items, they only give you 20%. SO LITTLE. And if you want store credit, it’s 40%. Also, they’re only taking certain designer items right now due to overstock.
On the buying side, they have a lot of items and many different varieties and it’s pretty organized. Prices seemed pretty reasonable. But I don’t quite understand how they price my worn once pair of Guess shoes the same price as clearly well worn no name shoes. Or why would they even take them to sell. They also have some new with tag items in the store too.

Excellent thrift store! Very pretty looking Asian girls working there will greet you and show you around if needed, as there is a LOT to check in this second-​hand boutique. It is a big space, nice location next to Vons and Starbucks on Mira Mesa blv, very bright and with nice color touches to separate different areas.
I like the detail of hanging all those male hats on the top of the walls, make the experience very boutique-​y and less ‘lets see what we can get in case someone rich died and family members brought all the treasures here’ kind of attitude. I like the way the pants are hang, in a very original way (or I haven’t seen it like that before), and the organization by styles and then by colors.
I think this store will mostly interest girls, even though guys have a good selection to choose from too. The dresses are really cute, colorful and varied in styles. There is something for everybody, from Indian style dresses to Desigual-​type, even some are brand names with tag and all (not everything has been previously used). Shoes, I did not see big offer on size 8, maybe because it is a very popular size. Shoes were too price for being used, you can get cheaper new in some other places.
Overall, you can get a very nice dress for less than $ 10, I got one extremely cute dress for just $ 3 with tag and all.
Next time I am going to bring my own goodies to sell, as I have tons of pretty clothes that no longer fit but they are almost new. It is a good way to get some cash, ladies!

You can find so many (cute) things here — that are in season too! You can find everything from clothes (tanks, blouses, dresses, t-​shirts, suits, pants — you can even find brands like True Religion), shoes, purses/​handbags, jewelry, sunglasses and even nail polish (the nail polish obviously isn’t used). Everything is affordable (most items I saw were from $ 4.99 — $ 7.99) and they even have things for kids too — like backpacks! higher end brand (like Coach) will obviously go for higher prices.
You can sell your used clothes too, but they have so much inventory right now that it might be better off to wait. They don’t just buy anything either so if you have an old ‘Old Navy’ t-​shirt — it’d probably be better to donate elsewhere.
They’re in Mira Mesa (in the Vons shopping center between CVS and Petco) and open at 10am. Although they just opened up a few days ago, I can already tell this store’s gonna be a HIT!
