Plato’s Closet

This place is kinda disappointing to put it mildly. They always say they want trendy brand names but then you bring them exactly that (tons still with tags attached) and they don’t take any of it. And now they’re looking for plus size clothing and every time I bring junior plus sizes in, they’ve never taken anything (a lot still new with tags). It’s kind of ridiculous. I’ve brought regular juniors and plus size junior clothes there and what they pay you sucks. I’ve had better luck selling on eBay.

I will never go here again. Both my daughters only buy very high end fashonable clothes. used to work for Abercrombie and Fitch. we have taken brand new items with tags attached only few months old there and have been told they won’t be taking any items. we look through the racks and there are ripped, dirty clothes older than 5 years. what kind of business are the running. then when they offer you anything its a few dollars. you can sell it for more at a garage sale. Don’t shop there. disgusting business.

While there is the occasional deal or good item (I’ve gotten new Gap sweaters for $ 4 – 6), as a whole the place really isn’t that great. The associates do a poor job of sorting through clothes. The clothes that I see on the racks are poor quality and I’ve seen a substantial amount of Walmart and Kmart brand clothing. Once I took in items to be sold and I heard the associate ask someone «What’s Izod?» Seriously? Then when they hand back clothing they won’t accept, it’s always in a rumpled mess. They have no respect for your items or time. If you have nothing to lose, it’s an ok place to sell or buy clothes. But your better off hitting the sales rack at JCPenneys.

First of all this store has mostly junior and teenager style clothes in here, if you are over 25 years old, you probably won’t find anything you like in here but that is to be expected. The racks are filled with colorful hoodies and t-​shirts. Second of all, the prices here are downright OUTRAGEOUS. They were charging $ 22 for an extremely worn out pair of Victoria’s Secret Pink sweatpants. Now I know PINK clothing is the hottest thing for teens right now and the pants are really expensive normally but these pants were so worn out and faded that you would look like a rag lady wearing them and they were not stylish in the least due to the wear that the item exhibited. I expect more from a premium priced used clothing store. You can get a pair of new PINK pants for not much more than the $ 22 used price here if you sign up for VS email and use their $ 10 off birthday coupon. I wouldn’t even pay 50 cents for this quality of clothing at a yard sale. I know I am focusing on one piece here but this was not the only severely worn and similarly priced item in the store, just an example. The Salvation Army, Goodwill and Amvets will look like a wonderland of beautiful used clothing compared to this place. If you don’t care what brand your clothing is then any lady knows that shopping the clearance racks, using coupons and shopping off season or at the end of a season are the way to go to get the bargains at normal retail stores and trust me it can be done.

The girls that work there are nice, and I know they must follow corporate policy, but the things they pass up are ridiculous. They say they want nice brands (J.Crew, Gap) but don’t end up taking any of those brands. Like other reviews say, they want old DEB and Hollister tops. That’s all I ever see in there. I have brought in gorgeous, like-​new items that get passed on as if they are old, worn out trash. If you are looking to get a fair price for your clothing, look elsewhere, giving to Goodwill is more satisfying. Or try ebay.

I think after this platos experience I’m done going there. while I didn’t have to wait very long for my items to be reviewed, they barely took any of my items and turned down tons of brand new brand name items. What the heck? What they offered me for the items they did take was down right insulting. I’d rather just donate than bother with that joke again.
