How I Source for & Sell to Plato's Closet | Pack A Bag With Me | Episode 29

[@vanillahybrid]

Love your Plato's videos! I got lucky a couple weeks ago. I went the day after their 50% off semi-annual sale. When I got back home, my husband said “Wow it looks like they bought a lot”, because my bin I returned with was nearly empty. So that is one tip I have is definitely try to sell to them the day after they have a big sale and are looking for inventory.

[@whatmeganlikes]

That's an amazing tip!!! I'm going to keep that in mind, and pin your comment! THANK YOU 🙌♻️✨

[@erikakirkland3016]

You gave me the courage to start selling at Plato’s Closet. I still get extremely anxious dropping off items & picking them up. I’m not sure I’ll ever overcome that 🥴 Thanks for always sharing your knowledge & amazing content!

[@coraphilpot2787]

I used to manage a Plato’s closet 5 years ago and I still get anxious picking stuff up. 😅 hope this makes you feel better!

[@SouthernMitten]

@@coraphilpot2787Yes, this does make me feel better. Phew! 🤗❤️

[@whatmeganlikes]

YAY!! Awh, I get anxious EVERY single time I go to pick up! Maybe try staying in store and looking around (if you can), I find I get less anxious at pickup when I stay and look around! thank you so much for watching!

[@whatmeganlikes]

this makes me feel better, too. LOL

[@LeslieY66]

Nice to see you by your Christmas tree 🎄

[@whatmeganlikes]

I just LOVE this time of year! 🎅I am going to try and work in more holiday things!

[@lisarenfrow6549]

Another great video! 😊thanks

[@whatmeganlikes]

thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment!

[@picking2retirement782]

🎄 thanks for all the information

[@whatmeganlikes]

Thanks so much for watching! 🙂

[@luvmypack]

Love these! Always interesting to see what they take and for how much(and their reasons for what they didn’t take) I’ve not ever sent anything to ThreadUp but may give that a try! Great video and happy holidays!!

[@whatmeganlikes]

Thank you so much for watching!! I hope you give ThredUp a try! They take a lot of the same kinds of items as Plato's Closet, but they dont take mens at all. Happy Holidays to you too!

[@jujumama5825]

Awesome video. ❤

[@whatmeganlikes]

Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

[@mmcthrift]

Brilliant strategy to try to net zero at BST stores to cover your COGS! I haven't tried selling to any of those stores yet (or ThredUp) - I'm waiting for my inventory to become old enough where I've tried sales, lowering the price, etc., and using that as liquidation. I loved seeing what you took to them and what sold! Thank you 💗

[@whatmeganlikes]

YES 100% that is the goal! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! 💖

[@rxvintagetreasuresval]

I really am trying to learn Plato’s! I do know that mine never passes on Lululemon, Levis, and Athleta unless it’s wrecked. They mark them up too. I think some of yours was passed on because of the season though. Mine doesn’t buy outside of the season until close to season change. Show us a ThredUp video!! I never considered sending stuff to them. 🤔

[@whatmeganlikes]

Hi! hopefully these videos help a tiny bit to steer you in the right direction! I agree, season and inventory needs were totally reasons they passed on some things! Thanks for the content idea, too!

[@WieseFinds-hv9bd]

Love how you say lululemon lol

[@whatmeganlikes]

LOL lu-la-mon 🍋

[@InvisiblePerson1]

I’d list those Levi’s men’s jeans! I bet they sell outright for at least $25 each.

[@whatmeganlikes]

I bet you are spot on!

[@tosham0626]

Does every Plato’s offer itemized receipts? I love your videos and these are so helpful! Thank you!!

[@whatmeganlikes]

I am not sure, honestly! Mine don't exactly offer them either, I have to ask for one, and specifically ask for one with a price break down. I know one location I go to just can not print them because the person who set up their POS system did it incorrectly, so they just flat out can not print one. I wish it was just something they gave to you after you accept their buying offer! thanks so much for watching!

[@cheryltheisen8397]

🎄I did pretty good today guessing. I just think they have gotten over saturated with athletic wear. Anyhow, have a great week.

[@whatmeganlikes]

You are so right! Over-saturated with athletic wear! 😅 Thank you so much, you as well!!

[@cherylnewman9098]

[@ceciliadanca5799]

🎄😊♥

[@WieseFinds-hv9bd]

The men’s jeans had a yellow streak across the back of the leg it looks like. Did they end up taking that?

[@whatmeganlikes]

likely why they were passed on! A stain I missed! THANK YOU!

[@ThriftyMommy23]

Can you talk more about how you thrift from beginning to ending and whay you send into thredup and how much you make

[@whatmeganlikes]

I guess I never considered 'how' I thrift - I just do! Something to totally consider for a future video, THANKS! 🫶

[@ThriftyMommy23]

@whatmeganlikes can u also add in how much thredup pays you and what you send in?

[@shanhare76]

What about style encore? Do you sell to them? I think it's a bit more mature than platos which seems to cater to the youngsters

[@whatmeganlikes]

sadly they don't have any locations local to me

[@shanhare76]

@whatmeganlikes so here where I live in Baton Rouge, LA they have a platos closet and style encore right next to each other... I suppose I could try both and see what they'll buy...

[@TheFoxyVids]

Love these videos and seeing what they take. Would be great if when you edit the video to tell us if they took it or not, you also included what they gave you for it vs reading it to us at the end. Just a friendly request/suggestion. Thanks! 🤶🎄🎅

[@whatmeganlikes]

Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate you watching my content! ✨🎄

[@robintrauth-iv5rx]

I just sold a Hayden la blouse for 80 you may want to research that brand

[@whatmeganlikes]

No way!! Awesome! Good thing they passed on it 🤪

[@ginamarie5575]

My sales been kinda slow online so off I go to uptown . Never go to Plato’s, they steal from me ;( 😢pay out is nothing compared to other bsts . At least for me in north Florida;(

[@whatmeganlikes]

It's odd to me that the payouts can be different at all - considering they are a franchise brand/company. Interesting that they have some leeway there!!!

[@ginamarie5575]

@ ya it’s so bad …..at least at the one location I go to .

[@curvymamathrifts366]

How do you decide what you are selling at Platos and what to see on your own? ❤

[@whatmeganlikes]

That's a great question, I'll try and answer it in depth in a future video!

[@skokiereader]

[@whatmeganlikes]

Thank you so much for watching ✨️♻️🫶☺️

[@rosetinlin2482]

I am surprised at how much they pay for Pacsun

[@whatmeganlikes]
