Hey guys,
I FINALLY CLEANED OUT MY CLOSET!!! I can't even remember the last time that happened lol. I filmed this video bringing you guys along with me, gosh was I naiive. I thought I knew all I needed to know, going into Plato's closet, but I was so wrong haha. In the end, I sold only 7 items to Plato's, and the ones they ended up choosing were a complete shock to me. What I'd reccomend to do next time is first ask the store staff for a list of the items the are currently looking for. This helps condense how much clothes to bring and gives an insight as to what they are looking for. Overall, this experience was super fun, and I hope to do it again the next time I cant a huge closet cleanout ^_^ Thanks so much for watching and have a great day ❤️
XOXO,
Hannah

I work at Platos closet and a lot of people don't understand the way we price things and that we aren't a thirst store and we don't take everything that walks through the door. We get overstocked on items constantly, and we can't take things that wouldn't sell for the store.

[@bhavanab5598]

Can u explain the pricing?

[@haleyhunt6051]

Bhavana B (I work there too) at the store I work out we sell items at about 50-70% off of retail and we girl you 30-40% of that

Samantha` Johnson there will be in the future something better that plato,and knock Plato out of businesses,plato is to picki.

I've made over $300 selling at platos over 8 different trips. What I have learned since my first couple of times I tried to sell is to only bring things in that you really think they will buy. If you have a concern about something not selling because it is outdated or it is possibly out of fashion then do not bring it. The people who work at platos normally buy all of my items because I wash dry and iron my items before bringing them in, and I only bring in things which I seriously expect them to buy. The presentation of your items is important. I also did a test where I brought in the exact same container of clothes twice. The first time with one buyer I made $24. The second time with a different buyer I made $54. Every buyer is a little different. I hope this little bit of info helped! I'm still learning when it comes to selling at platos, but I love the extra cash!

just so you know older items do not sell well for us, so that could be why your platos didnt purchase your items! i hope this helps a little! it also depends on the season as well so if it's fall or winter then with summer clothes we would have to be just a little more selective with what we take in! :)

[@kateypettit8481]

I work at Platos, and a lot of clothes don't get bought by us because they are out of the 1 - 1 and a half year window. What people don't understand is we aren't a thrift store, we buy clothes that look like it just came from another store. We give the public the opportunity to make money , but we want our clothes to be trendy and nice looking. We don't want our clothes to look used, if that makes sense :)

[@Dnice3021]

I've been to many Plato's closet and I'm sorry but I've seen sum horrible clothes very used seems they only buy if its brand even if it's bad condition...huge scam and very offensive to sellers who take the time out to present their items u kno. slap in the face i never sell their.....lol no offense

[@kyraj.9828]

I work at platos too I know exactly what you mean

[@tniyamitchell6251]

I'm going there tommorow

[@beckystarrski]

The one fact that is kind of funny if you will, is that high wasted jeans (4 ex.) are an item from the late 80's -early 90's lol Like the "mom jeans" lol I think they are not too cute, yet you find high wasted jeans/shorts in Macy's fro example. And like the shoes Ked's to me are totally late 80's early 90's, yet you still see Ked's for sale all the time. I see them in Macy's still. Also jean jackets are totally dated. They were the shizz back in the 80's as well. But I see look books of popular KZbinr's with jean jackets, high wasted pants, and even Keds on lol What I'm saying is that it is kind of silly when Plato's says that they only take what is "in style" ......however you have stylish people like Bunny Meyer.. (4 example) who has a huge array of style. She always looks cute, and so many times she buys/wears styles that are old school if you will. js Take care. :)

[@GraceJennings]

Wow this is very interesting! Nice job getting $14!

[@Dnice3021]

u got lucky hun....lol trust me it happens once in a blue moon but congrats

[@isaimena40]

The Plato Closet at work at, some guy came in with bags full of clothes and left with $700 worth of cash! I'm not playing.

[@vitalchance1032]

That is the biggest lie ever told.

[@fabulouslifeinchrist1349]

What brands did he have? A bunch of polo's, Nike, and those athletic stuff? Was it shoes?

[@cluu17]

I loved the sassy part! I replayed it lmao. It was so funny/cute. I went to platos today and they took nothing lol.

[@margaretstorms3534]

The last time I went they gave me $120. I was so surprised...they had to give me a check because they couldn't give out that much in cash. I think I brought in more clothes than I thought haha

[@TheMagicHat35]

Do you know how many clothes you brought in by any chance?

[@margaretstorms3534]

Best guess I could give would be four large paper shopping bags full of clothes. They gave me back about one bag full.

[@kayceec43]

Thanks for this video. I thought I would get more money for my clothing. I wasn't sure how it worked. Judging by what I've seen on KZbin, it's not worth the gas money I would have to pay to get there and back. (25 mins away) I am pretty disappointed.

[@JaysEndeavors]

Mercari and Poshmark would of paid what they gave you all together at Platos for just one pair of jeans. All of that you gave them would of earned you close to $150- $200 bucks. This is why online shopping is beating the actual store shopping.

[@stephanie2cool80]

Wow😮

[@emilyscamcorder]

For the identification that they needed, can it be your mom's?

[@brianafrazier2468]

I know this is from two years ago but honestly, her clothes weren’t cute at all. Like if I was buying the clothes from her, I only would have bought 3 of those things.
