Plato's Closet

I recently stopped by Plato's Closet to take a look around. They have a good selection of vintage clothing available for just about every style and price point.The store is clean and the staff is friendly. If you've never been to Plato's Closet, check them out, you might find something extraordinary...

I consider myself a consignment guru as I've been selling and purchasing from consignment stores since I was in high school. I will infrequently venture the aisles of Plato's Closet, hoping for a rare find. I am not a tween or teen and will never pretend to be, but you may find the hidden diamond in jeans or workout wear at PC. The store is organized by type of clothing and size with women's dominating the front, men's & late season at the back. Near the registers & fitting rooms, it's chaos. There are bins of clothing stacked everywhere, no discernable lines to check out and cheap knick-knacks they hope you grab while waiting to make a purchase. On weekends, the store is busy and the aisles are tight, so I recommend mid-week shopping. On my visits, the staff (all teens) have been flippant, rude and seemingly couldn't care less about their work. I started working in retail & the service industry at 15 years old and it was ingrained in me that highly-engaging, quality service was a must. You won't get that here, so don't expect it. I will still come in once in a blue moon when I need new jeans or fitness apparel, but it wouldn't be my first recommendation. As for tween/teen clothes, you may find some good deals, but overall it seems really overpriced for low-quality fashion.

Ehh. Not planning to return to buy or sell. My first visit was to sell unwanted clothing I had low expectations as I'm not very hip or in the young/teen demographic. The staff doesn't try to explain the process and makes no effort to offer info despite knowing you are a first time seller. If selling -no plastic bags are allowed! Do not bring your items in a plastic bag. Handwritten signs in the door say NO plastic bags. You must bring your items in a reusable bag or tote due to bags breaking and items being lost (not because they love the environment). Sellers can purchase a reusable bag or tote. Most similar stores have a tote system in place and don't force you to buy an item you don't need. Be prepared to leave with exactly what you are trying to sell as they want current young styles. Lightly worn of course. No stains or rips. They pay cash but not a great deal for items purchased based on what' other reviewers said. If you do not pick up your items by closing time they will force you to take a store credit and not cash according to paper you sign before drop off. Again. Not one explains the policy. I was told I was signing off on allowing them to look at my items. If a seller fails to come back in 48 hours they will donate or trash your items. The store is well organized by size and item. Prices seemed decent and older stock is clearanced to make room for newer items. They sell shoe and purses. Signage could be better showing customers where men vs women's are located. Won't return.

Trying to sell here is not fun. They'll take like one or two items, say everything else is "out of style" and then proceed to offer like $5. I've heard lots of complaints from people about them hardly taking anything and I can say that still stands. One aspect I do like is their bag selection. They have tons of bags, more than any Plato's I've been to. Haven't really bought much from here because ironic enough, everything on their racks is cheap or just not appealing to me. As for the employees, 50/50 if you get someone super nice or someone with no smile who hates their job.

This place is such a joke to sell clothing to. I always bring in name brand clothing and they always tell me my items are "not current" or don't sell but yet find the same things I'm selling on their clothing racks. Everything I bring in is clean, no holes or tears. I'll take my business elsewhere since these little teenagers running the store are too stingy.

I was treated badly. I don't think they even looked at my clothes because I am older than the clienttelle but I did have a few items I believe the someone would wear. I would not recommend them to anyone

My favorite thing about Platos Closet is that it gives people the opportunity to bring in their clothes and shoes and other items for money. Its a quick way to get rid of your items that you no longer want in exchange for a few bucks. You need to bring in your clothes in a container, laundry bin, or luggage and they then will sort through it and determine which items they would like pay you for. It took about 30 minutes for them to sort through my items. In the meanwhile while they were sorting - I walked around the store. Its a variety of gently used items that are definitely worth purchasing.Once the workers were finished going through my items - they gave me an explanation for why they did not choose some of the items - which I loved ! I made exactly $40.55 from the items that they did decide to keep. Good bargain deal! FYI - they are currently in need of tanks, tees, denim and summer wear. They do not accept items that are older than 12 months or stained, heavily worn items. Also, less crowded days to bring in your items is usually the week days

Do not even waste your time. They didn't even go through my stuff. I watched the girl empty the bag into a dirty black bin to be returned to me. IThere was lululemon and other name brand stuff that I have now sold on Poshmark for over $150. I looked around and they look grossly over full with out of season, over priced stuff. I recommend going to Encore down the road. You'll at least get a few bucks and they have better stuff to buy.

Don't come here they took a dress out of my exchange pile, I confronted them and an employee claimed "they did not have it" while another employee had an attitude and claimed my story was wrong. I made a police report and will be in contact with the manager

Poor they said it would take 30 min to go through your clothes and it took one hour. They never said thank for your time or I am sorry about the wait. The clothes looked like it was a Goodwill store.
