Clothes Mentor

Only been in here one time and I’m not sure I’ll come back. I brought virtually brand new dresses in here and they offered me $ 7 for all 4… umm, no! BUT… they do have some nice stuff in here. Think of it as a more grown up version of Plato’s Closet. The prices aren’t too bad and they carry a wider range of sizes unlike Plato’s.

I have to agree with the other 1 and 2 stars. The Gahanna location has out of date and ratty clothes. I saw stains on the designer purses through the glass case! Jeans are waaaay out of date. Not many good labels. I’ll stick to the bethel (or Henderson?) store– much better!

Wow, I can’t believe what they offered me for my clothes. I almost laughed bc I thought it was a joke. They claim to offer ¹⁄₃ of the price they sell their clothes for. They’re lying. I took in three huge bags of plus size clothing (which they said they were in desperate need of). Here are some examples of what they offered me: $ 3 for Torrid Blazers, $ 2 for Lane Bryant jeans, $ 2 for Old Navy tops.
So that would mean they would be selling Torrid Blazers (in perfect condition) for $ 9, LB jeans for $ 6, and Old Navy tops for $ 6. No way. Nothing in that store was that cheap. Most of their Blazers are priced $ 15-​$ 25. I’m not even going to get into the jeans and tops.
I sold the Blazers online for $ 35 each and took the rest to Goodwill. I’d rather GIVE my clothes away than to take this ridiculous company’s offers. What a joke.

Having been recommended this place multiple times by friends in the past and working at an upscale department store myself, I finally got around to visiting this morning on a day off to check it out for myself. While I did end up purchasing several items, I wouldn’t necessarily give it the glowing reviews my friends have in every area.
Clothing — five stars. Especially in special sizes, which many retailers lack, there is a wide variety. The racks were sized and color coded properly, which to me is a huge plus as I hate shopping thrift stores and want them to be neat when I do. A little hard to tell what was where (for example I didn’t realize short skirts were in a different area than long ones until I stumbled on them) but excellent variety.
Shoes — not as much selection in average shoe sizes. Lots of very small sizes and very large, not much for my average 8.5 range.
Handbags — I was unimpressed. While there was a large selection of designer bags and they were in excellent shape, I am an expert eBay buyer and seller (in fact went in looking for potential resells) and every handbag was priced at least $ 10-​$ 20, usually more like $ 50, higher than you could get the same or similar bag on eBay. Same with the designer boxed shoes.
However, the employees were courteous and friendly, store was clean and opened on time, was well-​organized and definitely worth the trip for clothing. Just not for designer accessories.

I’ve put off these consignment places for a while now. My issues have always been lack of stock for my sizes, and also lack of good quality pieces without stains, or holes in them. I’ve seriously been to thrift stores that had two shirts on the rack for my size and that’s it. I’m not even that massive either… just in the plus size range, because I love my pizza, okay?
Clothes Mentor really surprised me! Most of the clothes I looked at were in really great condition, and the prices were still ridiculously cheap, though not thrift store cheap by any means. You won’t be finding shirts for $ 1 here, but you will find really great quality shirts for half of what you would pay in a retail setting.
What really was a mind changer of this place was the fact I was able to purchase almost brand new jeans with tags still on them for around $ 14. Now, most plus size boutiques and stores will charge larger women around $ 40 – 70 for brand new jeans, so you can bet I was praising the Gods to find a nice pair for $ 14 and others were even marked 50% off of that.
They have changing rooms, so try on to your hearts content, and the majority of the staff were very kind and helpful.
Besides clothes, this store carries, name brand handbags, Designer Shoes, costume jewelry, belts, workout clothes, Coats, etc.
Sorry guys, it’s pretty much women only, but FINALLY I can rejoice and shrug off the mall stores, and find a treasure from someone’s unwanted junk at a lower price.
Clothes Mentor has saved the day!

What a joke — they offer you nothing for nice stuff you bring in. $ 75 for a pair of louboutins used twice? really? no thank you. I passed on selling my things to them… I bet they low ball people then sell it for 5 x what they offer you. THIEVES

I haven’t been to the other locations, but this site has consistently nice and functional options. I say functional as I’m usually in the market for «work clothes» or a great jeans deal and I’ve found plenty of both. But, if you are looking for something a little different and/​or snazzy I’ve seen plenty of that there too. All and all, for the value I think this is a great option!

I use to come here as often as I could when I lived in the area.
They have authentic designer purses for dirt cheap prices for what they’re worth.
They seem to have nice items for other commercial designers as well, but nothing that I was too interested in .
I’ve purchased an Louis Vuitton neverfull GM for ~$ 300, LV ursula for $ 750 and other brands as well. They also had a lot of Prada, coach and other brands.
This is the place for some of the best luxury designer finds by far.
