Uptown Cheapskate Ellicott City

This location was really well organized, and selling was seamless. I've sold with UC locations up and down the East Coast, so I know the deal with the offer percentage, and wasn't surprised to get offered $33 for 7 items. They also had some great sales running! I would also like to shout out Yuka-- he was great! He was friendly and knowledgeable, and really made my time in-store pleasant and fun. Overall, I would recommend this location for shopping and buying.

Always have a great experience shopping and selling at this location! The team is always friendly and knowledgeable; the inventory is well curated and trendy with a great selection of both modern and vintage styles!

If you expect clear communication and honesty, I recommend avoiding this location. I’ve sold to Uptown Cheapskate before, but the Ellicott City location is officially the most disappointing. I dropped off my items around 11AM and waited for an update to stop by within an hour (my given estimated time of appraisal completion when I asked) or before 7PM. No response ever came, so I called at 3PM and was told my items were actively being appraised throughout the day and that I should just wait for a text or email instead of stopping by like I was initially told to do so. One day later and I still had no communication. When I finally called, I was told they didn’t take anything. I know how Uptown Cheapskate works and am completely fine with donations. However, what was extremely disappointing in this situation was how the employee on the phone blatantly lied repeatedly and said they had supposedly left me a text and voicemail… yet absolutely nothing was on my phone. When I questioned this, they brushed it off as a “miscommunication” with a halfhearted apology. The whole process was frustrating, dishonest, and a complete waste of time. Their policies and customer service are nowhere near the level of other Uptown Cheapskate locations.
