Know Before You Sell, Plato’s Closet

I have sold my clothing to Plato’s Closet a few times and I got a decent amount of money back each time. Today I tried selling a ton of clothing with tags still attached only to be completely shocked. They wanted to buy 30 items of clothing for $83.00. I asked to see what they were wanting to take off my hands and I checked the receipt. I said to myself HELL NO! I had a free people dress new with the tag attached, retailed at $128 and they offered me $3.00! BCBG Belt for $36 and they offered me $1.20. I understand people need quick cash. I needed some serious cash today. The most they offered me on one item, was $4.00. The funny part is that the girls behind the counter put their names on some of the items they thought they were going to get for almost free. You should have seen the look on the girls faces after I declined the offer. They were wanting to get their hands on my name brand clothing for almost free. What I’m trying to say is, please don’t let Plato’s Closet pressure you into selling your clothes that you know are of good value (name brands and items new with tags). It seems to me that Plato’s is trying to get clothing for almost free like the Goodwill and make an almost 100% profit. If I would have agreed to the offer they gave me, Plato’s Closet definitely would have gotten a 100% profit. Today is the last day I step foot into a Plato’s Closet. I will not sell my clothing or buy from them, knowing that they are ripping people off. Ladies and Gentlemen, please think twice before selling your clothes to this store. If you are trying to sell name brand clothing or gently used clothing in almost new condition, write down how much you paid for each item and add up your total. For example: You bought a Kate Spade Handbag for $120 and it’s in excellent condition. You decide to take it to Plato’s Closet and they offer you $20. Would you take $20 knowing you paid a lot more? I saw a Michael Kors handbag in great condition being sold for $30. So imagine how cheap Plato’s Closet got it off the seller. I hope this post will be of great help to many of you and please pass the information to friends and relatives.
