How does Plato’s closet work?

Plato’s Closet

Plato’s Closet is a second-hand business that buys lightly used apparel and accessories for teenagers and young adults. It’s the ideal way to generate some additional cash after cleaning out your closet.

What Should I Sell If I Don’t Have Any Clothes?

Plato’s closet is exceptionally picky about the garments they buy. This implies two factors to consider while picking what garments to sell. To begin with, your attire must be lightly worn. No stains, holes, fading, or severe wear are allowed.

Second, they usually only purchase products in style and season at the time. Consider the outfits you see in the mall. If your clothes look similar to theirs, there’s a reasonable probability they’ll buy them.

Alternatively, if you genuinely want to get the most out of your visit, I recommend phoning beforehand. Their phone number may be found through a Google search. Ask the associates what they’re seeking right now, and then determine which pieces to bring.

Bring it anyhow if you’re not sure whether a specific artwork will be approved. You have nothing to fall by providing it a shot. The worst that can happen is that they say no, which is bound to happen. In any case, they rarely take all of the clothes you bring in.

Expect some of your work to be rejected. Because these are only suggestions for bringing in, the stylist’s final selection will be based on their judgment after reviewing your goods.

They’ll Take (both male and female):

• Shirts
• Sweaters, jackets, hoodies, cardigans, kimonos, vests, and blazers are popular choices.
• Jeans, pants, skirts, shorts, leggings, jogging shorts, and sweatpants are all options.
• Bathing suits (one-piece and two-piece), as well as board shorts
• Heels, sneakers, slip-on, sandals, and boots are all options.
• Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and anklets are all examples of jewelry (nobody piercing pieces
• Purses, backpacks, laptop cases, wristlets, satchels, and wallets are a few examples.
• Sunglasses, hats, and headband
• DVDs and books are available.

Bringing the Clothes Inside

After deciding which garments to sell, you’ll need to pick the correct bag to store them in. Although it may appear unimportant, the size and style of bag you use to store your garments is vital in the selling process.

You’ll have to transport these items from your home to the store. Make sure the bag you purchase is durable and that your things will fit comfortably inside.

It will be easy for the associate to check through your belongings if you do this. Choose a different bag if the contents are overflowing or a hole. You don’t want to show up with your clothing strewn on the floor.

This will make it more difficult for you to keep organized, and you might expect an adverse reaction from an acquaintance if this occurs. Also, limit yourself to three bags at a time.

The sales employees will go over anything you bring in, but if you stick to the three or less rule, you’ll have a greater chance of purchasing your goods. Also, there is no need to sort the clothes into categories—nothing to be concerned about as long as they all belong in the bag.

Getting rid of your clothes

So far, you’ve chosen which clothing to bring and which bag to store them in. It’s time to put the garments on the market. Sales employees are located behind the main counter when you enter the store. Make sure you’re on the desk’s far left side. This is where you’ll be able to sell your belongings. Place your bag(s) on the stylist’s desk and hand them over.

The person in charge of this section of the business will next ask if you’ve ever sold with them before, and if you have, they’ll issue you a yellow slip on which you’ll be asked to write your phone number and name. To the right of where you are standing will be penned for filling out this form.

If it’s your first-time selling clothes, you’ll get the identical yellow slip, but you’ll have to add your address and signature. In addition, the associate will go over wait times and the general process. Please expect to be kept waiting for at least 30 minutes as they go through your belongings.

You don’t have to stay at the store for them to be ready because you gave them your number. Let them know you’ll be back later so they can call you when it’s ready to pick up. You can wait up to two days to pick up your clothes, but I don’t encourage it.

The sooner you return to retrieve them, the better. Alternatively, you can stay in the store and do some shopping while you wait. Indeed, if you find anything you want, there’s a chance you’ll be able to buy it with the credit they provide you for your items.

Pick-up

It’s now time to put the clothing away. Enter through the same door you used to enter, but don’t go to the left side of the desk this time. The garments will be picked up in the lines with the cash registers on the right. The salesperson will inquire about your name to locate your bag. They’ll explain why they liked certain pieces and why they didn’t, and then they’ll give you store credit or cash.

You are under no commitment to accept either offer if you believe it is too low. Choose wisely because the store credit offer is usually worth more than the cash they are ready to give you. So, if you think it’s a horrible deal, it probably is; nevertheless, don’t feel bad because it occurs to everyone that enters. After you’ve decided whether or not to sell your goods, a Plato’s Closet staffer will pay you cash or shop credit on the spot.
