OVERRATED!

by melisab

My 3 kids are ages 12.5 to 19... we couldn't find anything in this mess... it looks worse than a Goodwill store. As for selling your stuff there, total joke, as they snobbishly turn away 99.9% of good designer stuff then offer you pennies for what they keep. Not sure how they keep the place so packed, since from what I have read, seen, heard and experienced, they rarely buy much. Don't know if that's the case here, but when I lived in Florida some "consignment" stores were turning away folks because they were keeping the place stocked with stuff they bought at yard sales and sold back at their store... *shaking my head*

• Pros: packed with stuff
• Cons: very messy, rude staff, rip off

Doesnt live up to all the hype.

Everyone sees the commercials on television and it appears to be a place where you can make fast cash for clothes you no longer wear- but this is not the case. The adds say that they take brand name clothes in good condition- but they take themselves way too serious. They don't accept clothes in trash bags even though their whole store is trashed, overwhelmed with cheap and poorly made clothes. You have to pick up the clothes they don't take before they close or they throw them away. I took in three large hampers filled with clothes they said they would take including Hollister, Abercrombie and Ralph Lauren and they didn't take anything! They said that the clothes had to have been made in the past year (how do they even know when it was made)! They are less than helpful and the store has appeared trashed every time I have gone in there. You have to search through every single item of clothing because it is not organized in anyway. I always find myself getting frustrated and leaving before finding anything I like because of the crampt and overwhelming atmosphere. I would recommend just donating your clothes to Good Will rather than even trying to sell them to Platos- you will just get frustrated.

• Pros: plently of parking, can find stuff if you spend 6 hours looking, always is a lot of people shopping in store
• Cons: unorganized, store appears trashed, unhelpful staff, disgusting bathroom, small fitting rooms

horrible

I've sold here before....they rarely take the things I'd expect (i.e. designer jeans, etc.)....i've gone in & been told they don't take clothes in trash bags & of course mine was in a white bag....they proceeded to tell me I could go to a store and maybe get another bag (as long as it didn't come from anyone near that store)...then another time I brought clothes in a cloth bag to accommodate their non-trash bag policy....I was then told that I couldn't leave them to be looked at unless i could pick them up by closing (pretty much I was going to have to hang around for how ever many hours it was going to take to look through everyones items before mine)...yeah righhhhtttt. I thought the point was to buy your clothes, but it seems like they are just trying to make it impossible to even get your items looked at.
