“I love this place! We just picked up some cute decor for our guest bedroom plus some adorable cards. They always have the current, gorgeous designer purses too. They’re my absolute favorite consignment around!”
“If I could, I would give Upscale Rummage 10 stars! This place is truly amazing. Do you love thrifting? Do you think you've got your thrifting routine all worked out? Do you think you've got your line up of unmissable Chicago thrifts sorted? You are wrong... unless you've already been to Upscale Rummage already and this is your number #1 thrifting experience. No thrift store in Chicago gets even near the fabulousness of this place. It's huge but it is not filled with garbage. New and incredible stuff comes in every week! Great antique and modern furniture, light fixtures, books, records, clothes, jewelry, kitchenware, gardening, sport gears, textiles, rugs, mirrors and art... they also have a year-round Xmas shop and regular department discounts. This shop is also incredibly well curated. Items are very fairly priced too. Rene', the owner, and her army of charming helpers are a true delight. Always smiling and welcoming. We bought so much from this store. It has brought so much joy. We end up there almost every week and rarely leave empty handed. And the money goes to charity. I mean, what more do you want? This is the one and only thrift store in you need. Chicagoans, take a trip to Libertyville and learn how it's done. If you have not been to Upscale Rummage yet, you don't know what thrifting is about. Go. NOW!”
“Great place to find antiques and handmade items. I never leave empty-handed. Christmas time is my favorite time to stop in to find unique gifts. Also, most booths are beautifully decorated for the holiday season. During one visit, they were having a painting class. The room was full, and everyone seemed to be having a good time.”
“I've been driving to Crystal Lake for thirt stores for the last couple of years. WHAT A MISTAKE!! This store has it ALL and then some. It may look small from the front but it is HUGE! Name brand clothing some with tags, boots, hats, scarves, purses, etc. They even have a small Boho Chic area! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend Wild Raspberry!!! I wish I would have taken pics, next time for sure!”
“Definitely not a thrift store and more of a resale shop but would be my new go to place for a last-minute party dress or a thoughtful gift. Would love to see more kids options in the near future. When I went I bought out almost all they had for girls clothes.”
“In the late 1990's I was both a seller and a buyer here. I always did well in sales. The only reason I left was I went back to work full time. Zion was quite a long drive. I loved the variety and the way the dealers set up their booths so attractively. Sorry to see you go and I wish you all the best!”
“Great place!! The Salvation Army in general as an organization truly does help people in the struggle. I don't think people realize the Salvation Army is more than just a set thrift stores. In my time of need SA was there to help me in my battles.”
“Expect to spend more than planned. It's great fun and you can get great deals on things you never knew you needed, like a Mini Car Vacuum, or german cookware, mirrors, prints, furniture for rehabbing.”
“I love this Plato’s!! I drive over an hour to come here and my trip is ALWAYS worth it. They have amazing items! I’m shocked to see bad reviews because my experience has been completely opposite to what these reviews are saying…. The girls working are SO nice and funny I look forward to talking to them while they ring me up. They always are super helpful to me while I shop, they hold my stuff when my hands are full and answer all my questions. I only come once a month (AT MOST) and they remember me and say hi to me and make me feel so welcome!!!
If u feel like they’re “rude” as some reviews said I urge u to start a conversation with them while they ring u up, and I promise u will VERY quickly see they are very nice and personable!!
I always look forward to coming here thanks for being the best!?”
“Big selection of clothes with a lot of different stuff to choose from. Many other household items and unique items to find. If you like thrift stores it's definitely worth browsing. I was glad to see it wasn't too dirty or have a bad smell.”
