Plato’s Closet

Love this store! Shop and sell clothing here often. I have never left the store empty handed, or with an empty wallet! I literally can buy the same exact items I would at the mall, or Academy, or Target and pay half the price, if not less! And it’s wonderful because the clothing is in good condition. Selling clothes has always been wonderful for me, if you follow the guidelines the employees explain to you, it will work in your favor! And coming in to all the friendly faces always makes it even better #bbuchanan2016

We had two bags of nice jeans, shirts and dresses (Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie). They reviewed them and stated they were over 18 months old so they didn’t buy any of them. Many items and been worn once or twice and some were new. Smh…

I will never return to this store. Awful experience. The customer service was the worst I’ve experienced anywhere. Nobody welcomes you in or asks to help you. I was selling to the store and was horrified as to what happened. I brought in a bag mostly with designer jeans to sell. I came to pick up my items and when I did there were multiple mistakes. There were two items in my bag that I did not bring in!!! Then, I got concerned so I looked through my items. And noticed something upsetting, a pair of my jeans were missing. The little guy who went through my items did not even offer to help find my missing pair of jeans (he is the one who put other peoples items In my bag in the first place) he did not seem to care at all I was highly upset my jeans were missing. The store manager came over to help and finally I asked if she could go back through the camera. She didn’t see any mistakes on the camera at first so I asked if I could see the video. Clearly, watching the video you can see the little guy put my jeans either in the bin or on the floor, not back in my bag. Well, I pointed it out to the store manager and she agreed she saw the mistake. But when we went back on the sales floor, her attitude changed and suddenly she didn’t see the mistake… she is the store manager!!! Well, they never found my jeans and the only thing the manager could offer me was a punch card for 20% off my next purchase… ummm there will never be a next purchase. I asked for the district managers phone number and told her if she can’t figure out what to do about my missing jeans I’m going to the BBB. And she smirked which made me even more livid. This is the absolute worst experience I’ve had with a customer service facility and hope for the worst for their business. Now, I have called the DM and have yet to hear back from her. Worst experience, will never recommend to anyone to go there to buy or sell.

Would give 5 stars for customer service, selection and price of merchandise. Would only give 2 starts for prices given for clothing sold or traded in to them. All in all a great place to shop, just not to sell to. They also give 15% military discount and there is a Groupon right now as well.

They have good clothes but if you want to try and sell clothes to them you’ll just ripped off and stand there saying «excuse me» when they offer you $ 15 cash for two pairs of designer jeans that look new and a crap ton of ‘trendy’ name brand tops. You’re better off selling on eBay or Vinted or anything else. Just don’t waste your time trying to sell.

I have been here a couple times while in town and picked up some really nice stuff for reasonable prices. This plato’s has a pretty large selection of men’s items, unlike the ones that are closer to home. I wish the local plato’s in MD/​VA were this nice!

The prices are amazing here. Which does mean that you don’t get a ton for the items you bring in. But they don’t give you peanuts and then turn around and sell it for 4 times the amount.
The staff there has been great and will look through your items in a reasonable amount of time.
It’s great to get a few bucks for things I would have otherwise tossed.

Plato’s is very cool with the teen and early twenty’s set. My daughter used to love it when she was a bit younger and shopped here a lot. It’s a resale clothing store catering to that age group, with really trendy items that are in great shape and at great prices.
Of course, not only do they sell clothing, they buy it. My daughter has taken in a lot of things over the years, which is a great way to clean out your closet and make a few extra bucks in the process. But they are very picky about the items they will buy from you. They have to be in very good condition and be really «in». If it’s old and outdated, you can forget it.

I’m sure that Plato’s Closet would have been a goldmine to me when I was a teenager, but that was 20 years ago (gasp!), so I can’t honestly say that I feel comfortable wearing a lot of the trendy styles found here. I do like to find a good fitting pair of jeans though, so I will stop in every once in a while to see what brand names might be available.
You’ll find a lot of Abercrombie and Hollister– cute items for teens and college kids. The clothing is all in good condition, as items are inspected under super bright lights before accepted.
I don’t really have the wardrobe anymore to try and sell items here, but I’ve heard that they give you a pretty fair deal and cash is on the spot.

I’m a petite gal and I sometimes find little items here that I can wear that don’t look too teenybopper-​esque.
Word to the wise — be sure that the clothes that you sell are in very good shape. No pilling, no stain that you really think that you can’t see under a certain light, etc. They’re pretty selective, which ultimately brings a better product to the store.
You’ll find a variety of decent jean brands — basically all mainstream, youthful mall brands — Hollister, Abercrombie, Guess?, etc. They even carry True Religion jeans, which is nice.
I like to scan the items — and be prepared to root around — the clothes are packed in – for Guess? items.
It’s sometimes hit or miss, but it’s probably a goldmine for a teenaged girl or boy.

Plato’s Closet is a consignment clothing store for tweens to college ages both male and female. It’s a great place to find gently used clothes for less. The styles definitely cater to ages 12-​mid 20’s as they have a trendy selection.
I found a pair of Abercrombie jeans a few Abercrombie shirts for my 11 year old on a recent visit, all for under $ 20.00. They had a large selection of designer jeans for girls and a lot of T-​shirts and more casual clothes for boys. I also spotted shoes, purses and hats.
I have not sold anything here but it seems to be a good place to buy and sale. Like any other consignment store you have to stop in often to see what is new. I often go here then next door to Once Upon a Child for my younger children.
