Uptown Cheapskate Raleigh

About

Uptown Cheapskate Raleigh is a resale clothing store on Avent Ferry Road that works in both directions. Customers can shop secondhand name-brand pieces or bring in their own gently used clothes and walk out with cash.

The stock turns over constantly because it comes from the neighborhood, so two visits a week apart can look completely different. Its position near NC State keeps a steady stream of students on both sides of the counter, and anyone clearing out a closet can leave with money in hand.

What to know

  • The cash for clothes program buys gently used, name-brand apparel.
  • No appointment is needed to sell.
  • The chain has grown to more than 160 locations across 29 states.
  • Since 2015 the company has raised over $650,000 to build schools abroad.
  • That money has funded more than 21 schools in countries including Mali, Senegal, Haiti and Nepal.
