Plato’s Closet Raleigh

You’re better off selling your clothes on eBay or poshmark. Heck, you could make more money selling your clothes on your front lawn than taking it here. I brought in a ton of clothes, stuff I only wore a maximum of 3 times in the past 2 years. I take really good care of my clothes. A lot of my stuff still had tags, never worn. All major brand names express, h&m, Rachel Roy, Nordstrom brands, you name it. They offered me $ 4 and some change on a crop top AND a dress from h&m! A total of $ 4 on 2 things. I brought in 2 huge bags of clothes! I was so offended. The problem is they say they’re «very selective» and they only take brand names but their store doesn’t match what they say! I browsed their store over 30 minutes, and I honestly did not see a single item worth taking off the shelf or much of the brands they say they take. The bulk of their merchandise is a bunch of no-​name, brand less, worthless musty garbage. I’ve seen better clothes at goodwill, and I don’t even shop there! This is the «selectivity» they talk about? I took all my clothes back and sold them myself online/​yard sale. I win.

Agree with the rest of the reviews. I brought several items that had tags still attached from brands such as Kendall and Kylie, Cache, Forever 21 — all not taken. Plato’s always disappoints with their service and the product the choose to take/​not take. The store was a mess. Saturday’s are busy. They should probably schedule a few more people knowing that too!

Ugh such a waste of gas money. I took two large bags of designer name clothing items to see if I could sell some. Of course I’m not expecting to sell everything but I was baffled. Had to wait 2.5 hours and they offered me $ 4.90 for a pair of shorts. Seriously? Complete waste of time.

Very bad store will not return, I should have listened to my friends advice when she said that they say everything is out of date and no one will wear it Even if you just put your clothes yesterday!
They are very snobby and do not realize that without people’s donations that store or their job will not exist.
Better just take your stuff to good will.
Also, platos closet might as well put up a forever sign that says «will not accept clothes of offers»

Not worth the gas money to bring clothes there. I brought in some very nice dresses from Theory, Marc Jacobs, thinking I could get 10 – 20 per dress. No such luck. I got 7.50 for the one dress and pair of shorts they «could take.» Checked out the merchandise there and it’s mostly cheap crap with occasional better things sprinkled in. TJ Maxx, Nordstrom Rack, and even thrift stores in nice neighborhoods are much better places to get good clothes.

This store is horrible, I have been to this store several times and unless your item is new they will not buy it. The individuals who look at tour clothes are complete snobs and act like they are to good for you! THIS IS A USED STORE NOT A NEW STORE!!! They are to picky and rude and they act they are doing you a favor, and on top of that as well they act as if giving you 8 dollars for a winter coat is a big deal. I will never go back. I will donate my clothes or sell on ebay from now on.

First off, don’t come in expecting to make big bucks. For a bag of stuff I brought in they took like half and gave me $ 13. Meh, it was just sitting in my closet taking space and the rest shall be getting donated to Interact anyways! It was $ 13 more bucks than I had ten minutes ago.
What they couldn’t take they mentioned was a bit too old for them. And by old I don’t mean dated, i’m 24 and a lot of my stuff is that weird transition between lesser quality teen clothes from my college days that I can still fit and actual adult clothes for work. What was left was my work stuff, which I should have expected.
The store is a disorganized and cluttered, but people seemed to be finding things well enough. The prices are pretty decent, but because of my height and age (augh it’s so hard to find clothes for someone in their mid-​twenties) I didn’t find anything worth buying. Also I wouldn’t suggest bringing high quality, designer items here. It looks like they are just tossed in with the normal stuff and I imagine they don’t pay much more for impressive brand names.
What sets this location apart from, say Cary, is that the people who work here are much nicer. They asked if I needed help while looking around, explained why they took things and didn’t take others, and were generally pleasant. I’m surprised they’re as relaxed as they are being surrounded by the sheer amount of clutter they see on a daily basis. They were also pretty darn fast, done looking at my bag in about 10 minutes. Much better than waiting at Uptown Cheapskate for 2 hours.
I probably won’t be back, but not because of not liking it. I have pretty much gotten rid of my teenage clothes at this point, and what I have left will be off to be donated. I think i’m finally a total adult (only took 24 years)!
