Used, Vintage & Consignment in Libertyville, IL

“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!”

“I've watched my fair share HGTV shows where the designer goes to some kooky place filled with trinkets and treasures of times gone by. This place is a bit like that but mixed with the early days of Etsy. "Designers" can rent an 8x8 or bigger "storefront" to showcase their unique designs. Mostly stuff reclaimed from decades gone by and redesigned with some kind of flair. There's generally a theme to the different storefronts: women's vintage clothing, funny and lovey-dovey sayings regarding dogs and cats, plastic and silk flowers, dairy and farm, sarcastic sayings, whiskey barrel designs for the men dragged into this place, etc.

My wife and I found a whimsical chip and dip bowl. It was nice and will replace one of the blander versions we have at home.

Truthfully, there were quite a bit of items that were perfect housewarming gifts and gifts for people who have specific decor tastes.

It's also a decent place to just kill some time browsing through all the stuff people have created to get your own creative juices flowing.”

“The owner and her staff are very attentive and greet everyone with a smile and when you leave her establishment she always says THANK YOU FOR COMING ? regardless if you purchase or not. You can find unique gifts for just about every holiday or birthday! However if you see something BUY IT! BECAUSE IT WONT BE THERE WHEN YOU COME BACK! I can't say enough about this little gem in Libertyville.”

“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!?”
