what
we
buy

At Uptown, we have high standards for condition and style. When preparing items to sell, ask yourself, “Would I sell this to my best friend?”

We pay instant cash for items that are:

STYLISH: We’re looking for current trends and styles for teens and young adults. Some Uptown stores also select unique vintage and retro styles.
IN GREAT CONDITION: We carefully screen items for snags, tears, broken zippers, and stains.
FASHION FOCUSED: We accept all seasons and sizes of clothing from zero to size 18. We also accept handbags, shoes, and accessories like belts, hats, scarves, and designer sunglasses.

what we pay

Our offers are carefully balanced to pay you the most for your items, while providing great value to our customers

Cash

We offer between 25% and 35% of what we price items at in cash. We pay a higher percentage for high-demand brands like Lululemon, Free People, or Zara. We pay a little less for mass-produced brands.

Trade Value

To maximize your payout, trade in with us. We pay 25% more than the cash value in trade. Store credit is valid for three years and stays on your store account until you’re ready to spend it. With tens of thousands items to choose from, we think you’ll find sustainable styles you’ll love.

Consignment

For high-end brands like Chanel®, Louis Vuitton, Prada, or specialty items, we offer cash and consignment. When you consign with us, we pay you up to 60% of the selling price when the item sells. We take care of the details, so you don’t have to manage a listing or deal with returns!
