Uptown Cheapskate State College Buyer

About Uptown Cheapskate

Uptown Cheapskate is rooted in sustainable fashion, upcycling, and helping the environment. We buy gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories from people in the community, paying cash on the spot or offering 25% more in store credit. We then sell those quality items in our store at huge discounts compared to retail. Every day we help the community refresh their wardrobe, express their personal style, and look and feel confident without breaking the bank.
