From the reviews
Soooo many cute finds!!! I'm a big fan of stores like this, and this was my first trip to this location. From a buying perspective, I found a lot of cute stuff and had to really be picky to keep my budget but still spent over $100 🤣 The prices are high for a "thrift" store but the items are all new or VERY gently…
Uptown Cheapskates in Watauga is my ultimate spot for one-time outfits! Their unique pants selection, especially size 0, is a rare find. As an XS, it's challenging to find my size elsewhere, but Uptown Cheapskates consistently delivers, often with brand-new items and high-end labels.
Only took 6 items from 2 ikea bags but I found some amazing boots and a sterling silver necklace for $25. Pretty decent trade I'd say. I do wish they would have taken more items though. I resale across Texas and have great brands. The store is very clean and has a great layout. The staff was very friendly.
Very kind and knowledable staff and VERY GOOD with communicating to the seller that their buy is ready - by both email and phone calls! Very straightforward with their time approximations.
Selling or trading gear at Uptown Cheapskate Watauga
Uptown Cheapskate Watauga comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
