Plato’s Closet

The reason why I gave the store two stars instead of one is because I had a really cute pair of Nikes for a reasonable price. Other than that a lot of the clothes are outdated. My biggest problem with this place is the staff. The guy that was behind the checkout told me he would write my name on the board when he was done, I waited for about 40 minutes, and I went up to ask if my stuff is ready and they ended up not buying any of it even though I had perfectly good shoes that have never been worn before. Also, he never let me know that my stuff wasn’t ready even though I was clearly walking around the front of the store waiting to be called. He just sat there gossiping with the other employee… That put a really bad taste in my mouth. It’s probably just fine to buy from there, but don’t go sell clothes there.

Staff is not friendly at all, brought a brand new pair of shoes BRAND NEW denim shoes — they offer $ 5 dollars come on now. NEVER AGAIN

I wanted to review Plato’s closet simply because I thought you should know about their generosity. About once a month, when they have a bunch of leftover clothes, and I’m talking like bags and bags and bags full, they donate them to the 181 loft ministry. This is a boutique for girls in the foster care system, who are given an opportunity to «shop» in a boutique type setting, choose whatever they like, and pay nothing. They are pampered and treated like queens for the day. Idlewild Baptist church sponsors this monthly event. A big «thank you» to Plato’s closet for donating so much!

Actually, not too bad! I brought three bags of clothing, they bought only couple of items. Still better then nothing. I was told that at the beginning of the next month they might take more of my stuff, when their inventory will b updated.

Visited here for the first time ever. Big shop with plenty of selection all at reasonable prices. Scored 2 cute tops for a bargain at $ 7 each. Got an Abercrombie and Fitch sweatshirt for $ 18 and a Hollister sweatshirt for the same price. Although they claimed a lot of things were on sale not one of my pieces were. Still I saved major bucks by shopping here. I am a happy girl.

Love platos closet for casual clothes for the family I can pick up trendy clothes and shoes for the whole family at a fraction of retail prices

Took in many bags of name brand like-​new (some with tags) clothing. They didn’t accept one piece of clothing. The clothes were still laying folded perfectly in the bags as I placed them-weren’t even looked at. The store smells like a thrift store and a lot of very worn clothing.

As you probably know, Plato’s closet is a clothing store that buys and sells «gently used» trendy clothes for the teen/​young adult market. I have both bought and sold my clothes here, with mixed success. They have a huge selection of clothing — from dresses to jeans to shoes and purses. Most of the sizes run pretty small as they are juniors items, so I don’t buy too much. BUT they do have copious amounts of shoes in my size and on occasion I’ll find a cute dress or shirt.
As for selling your items, Plato’s Closet dominates the market simply because unlike consignment stores, they don’t have to sell your item to give you cash. A quick 15 minute wait while they look over your stuff, and you’re out with a little chunk of change. However they’re pretty picky about what they accept, so don’t expect everything you offer to be taken. I usually follow my trip to PC with a trip to Goodwill to drop off what they didn’t buy. Also, what once cost you $ 100 will get you about $ 10 or less here. But it’s better than nothing, right?
This particular location has excellent customer service and the girls are super friendly. So even if I don’t make a lot of money or find a great steal, I still have a positive experience.
