This is by far the best thrift store. Everything is high quality and the prices are super cheap while the clothing is heavily vetted. Do not get fooled by the low score from people that are mad Plato's Closet won't by their dusty junk. read more

Plato's Closet is very selective on what they select to "buy" from you if you are attempting to sell your clothes. Definitely recommend looking at their instagram or Facebook page on what they are looking for in that current season. Example- they won't take dresses in the winter. You can only bring clothes in bins, reusable bags or laundry baskets. Do not bring it in garbage bags they will not accept it. You can drop off your clothes and show your driver's license and they will text you when they are done "buying." When you return, you can see what they chose to by and how much they would pay. At that point you can accept or deny it. They do give you a coupon to promote shopping at same day which is appreciated. I do understand as they need to make some profit on the items however I wish I was given more. If you are in the area, you can give it a try but I wouldn't make an extra trip here. I have had better luck selling on other websites. read more

I had a great experience shopping at this Plato's Closet. The store was really clean, modern and easy to shop. I found some great items while I was in New York on vacation. Will definitely stop by when in town! read more

It is a cool place if you're into thrift stores. My oldest daughter used to shop there and get 7 jeans for cheap. It is a little different now like a used marshals but you can still get nice things for cheap. You just have to want to search and look around. They had used Jordan's and yezzy for cheap in good condition. The ladies in there are all nice and helpful as well so that makes it good. You can try on your stuff before you leave and when you buy you get points I got Nike sorts for $9 because I have $5 off thanks to my daughter read more

Plato's Closet - Front of store - Men's Clothing Near Me - Commack, New York

Didn't even go through more then the top layer of my two bins. Took 1 item and told me they had overstock in every single thing. Didn't even look lmao, what a joke. Take ur clothes somewhere else read more

Disgusting so disgusted Not only were they playing foul mouth language with .e. ual innuendos continued with how to perform x,y and z overhead. The filth on pants /under armor clothing was within the bottoms and pants. Disappointed ! read more

Very good quality and selection. Extremely polite staff. The negative reviews for this location are from people who went there to sell. I go there mostly for workout clothes. Very large selection of clothes in nearly new condition (referring to men's clothes). Very often, I find brand new clothes, tags still attached that were never worn. Very good quality stuff at great prices. It's well worth checking out. read more

I could spend hours and lots of money here . Huge selection of clothes, jeans, purses and shoes. Great prices too! Not as cheap as goodwill or savers but still very reasonable. Clothes are clean, store is very organized and neat. Workers there are helpful! I wish they carried more dresses, but i guess they sell what people donate and not alot of people donate dresses. read more

This place really does not do customer service well. I tried to return and give them the benefit of the doubt, and they still have not improved their communication. When I showed up with clothes in a clear container as instructed, I was told I would need to wait from 30 mins to an hour for them to tell me which pieces they would take. This upset me because most people don't have an hour to wait around doing nothing. Then, after the hour I was told none of my clothes I brought was useable which could have been been told to me just by quickly scanning the clear container. Very disappointing, and this time, I have definitely learned this business is not worth returning to. read more

i wish i could give negative stars. drop of my stuff, was told they would text, they nevet did. i saw that they had othet stuff to go through so i waited a day. when i called, they 'claimed' they texted, which they never did and donted my stuff, duffel bags and suitcase that i had my stuff in. oh, to add insult to injur, i was told i can have a $16 store credit. are you kidding mr?!!! this is the worse ever! do not drop your stuff there and definitely do not shop there! how dare they! just terrible!!! i hope they see this. i hope you see this, go anywhere but there!!! bad bad bad! the worst! read more

They offered a pretty good deal on second hand winter clothes. The staffs are friendly too read more

Whoever said to me "this is where the heat is" is WRONG smells like a old lady in there and looks like rags for sale. Go to Buffalo exchange same pricing and better quality read more

this place was horrendous. It said on the website that they would give 1/3 the price. they did not. they had a board that said the stuff they were taking I had about 40 of the items they were asking including 2 sneakers worth about 100 dollars. they only took 8 things even tho the Rest of the stuff we're on the board. They said the couldn'T take the shoes because of stains even though two of them were never worn. The customer service was also terrible the lady giving me the price was rude and laughing about my friend being upset with a coworker. the clothes were ok only come to shop don't sell. read more

this place sucks . The customer service is trash and the workers were EXTREMELY rude. I gave in multiple items and they gave me absolutely nothing. Don't waste your time coming here and selling your clothing bc u will not get shit. The selection was not that good. ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE . NEVER COME HERE AND IF YOU IF YOU ARE THE MANAGER READING THIS EAT SHIT. read more

Drove 45+ minutes to this location for a first time sell after the guy on insta live told me I can bring in and sell my 4 Supreme shirts and 1 Yams Day 2021 hoodie. Upon bringing them, I was told I needed to wait an hour all for them to tell me they couldn't take anything and that my clothes was "off". All of my items were bought from well-known shops that sell nothing but legitimate clothing especially big street wear brands. Whoever is "legit checking" at their location needs to do research a lot better. Waste of time and gas. Will never go back nor recommend this place to anyone. Not to mention, I wasted a whole day with my Fiancée to go here. read more

Business has changed. Maybe they are getting too many people bringing in items to sell. They encourage people to look at the instagram site for plato where they list items they will accept. I followed the list exactly including never worn items and they only accepted three items out of about 40 items I brought with a variety of lame excuses for rejecting them. It's annoying traveling an hour to get there only to return home with most of the items. Also what they accepted they gave 5.00 or less--Will not be wasting my time with them anymore. Unfortunately on Long Island there are few places that accept clothing that pay a fair price. Most want people to donate. read more

they don't really need a lot of clothes and don't take much. i waited an hour for them to sort my clothes and got about 1.40 per piece. if you're a seller, you get better value selling on depop, vinted, or poshmark. if you're a buyer you get better options on those apps and vinted might be cheaper. read more

Awful. Try to sell New with tags Lululemon, Aritzia, Aviator Nation, Skims (which they advertise they are looking for) And they pass, because they have too much inventory. Understandable accept when you look everything is either from shein or tjmaxx brands. has holes or stains or they sell old (10+ year old lululemon for $45 when it has a hole) Outrageous. Go to Plato's in Danbury CT so much better. buy all season. NEVER DISSPOINTS. I've given this plato's many chances and it's actually comical. They passed on 3 brand new with tags ($148 aritzia leather pants- size 4 which is a normal size) . On top of that I fold my items nicely and get them returned thrown in with shoes bottoms on top of the white clothing items; now stained:) AVOID don't give business read more

Love this Plato's closet! Always have a positive experience here and the staff is great! They carry all sizes which is refreshing to see. Totally worth the 50 min drive. read more

I should have read the reviews before wasting my gas and time!! The service was good, but other than that...

Listen I'm giving one star for the nice kids at the register. Otherwise this is a waste of time if you wanna try to sell your clothes. Your probably better off getting more money selling your clothes online even though it's more of a hassle. They literally give you close to no money for the clothes you bring in regardless of brand etc. There should probably be a minimum price for how much you give back to the person depending on the brand and if the piece is in good quality. It's crazy to think you bring in $50 sweatshirt and get $5 back for it essentially. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking to get quick cash. This thrift shop should just stop having people sell clothes to them cause the sellers are getting no money. read more

If i could give no stars i would. I brought a bag full of clothes that were requested on their website & brand names that are also named on the website. they didn't take a single piece of clothing & told me to look on the website before coming in. read more

Such a waste of time. They were only taking athletic shoes, designer bags, and men's sports jerseys.

The new owner has really turned things around. The place was recently renovated/updated. It was easy to navigate and find items that I liked. They had a great selection too. I was surprised. I've never been a Plato's closet guy, but now I'm definitely coming back. Great value overall. Props to the new ownership. read more

I went to Platos closet in commack and i cant compare it to anything because i haven't been to a thrift shop in a while, however, i found it a nice store! it was somewhat easy to navigate and the workers were nice. There was a grand selecting but thift shops are nomally hit or miss. There was some shein clothes but they did have some nice brands like free the people and lulu lemon. The only thing i didnt like was how some of the tags were off of the shirts or pants, and how they dont give bags after checking out (it dosent really matter tho) anyway I am happy with my experience and will most likely return for more!! read more

I've come here about 3 times in the past before COVID to shop. When I realized that they buy, I brought my clothes and it was a pretty quick experience. I had to wait a bit to see how much they'd approve to give me for my stuff. I got about $30. It wasn't much and they gave me back the stuff that wasn't seasonal appropriate. It was cool, I then donated the rest. Now, after COVID I figured it'd be restrictions, but luckily they're now fully open so I figured I'd get rid of some clothes since were going into spring. I drove 45 min to bring my bags of clothes and the girl asked if I had an appointment, I said no. She then told me i had to make an appointment online and that they only accepted two bags. Fair enough I scheduled the appointment. I come back driving 45 min. I had been delayed on the phone prior trying to get health insurance so I ended up being 10 mins late. There was a total of maybe 3 people shopping, 1 girl trading her stuff in and maybe 3-5 employees behind the counter working. I waited to be attended and a guy walks up to ask if I had an appointment, I said yes it was at 3:45 but I'm a bit late and before I finished he told me he could try to fit me in if the 4:15 appointment doesn't show up. Otherwise I would have to come back. I told him I drove really far and this was my second time showing up. He didn't acknowledge that at all. He basically didn't care. I understand that I was late but I felt like this was poor customer service. I don't support places that don't care about their customers or at least try to support somehow. read more

This place is a joke honestly but it's a good way to make some pocket change LOL The employees here just don't really care. I asked one for the wifi and she laughed and said she had no idea. This is really a store that should openly offer it considering you wait a long time until your clothes are ready. They give you just pennies on the dollar for your items and that's only from what they take. The store is clean but very unorganized. Sizes are everywhere all put in wrong places. I only come here as a last resort. 2 stars just because what they do sell is always a really good deal . read more

Plato's Closet - Do they even bother to hit anything with a lint roller? Lmao gross. - Men's Clothing Near Me - Commack, New York

Giving a two star cause the girl at the front was really nice. With that being said, I brought two bags of clothes that had a decent amount of name brand items. I can understand not taking clothes for a certain season, but I was told on the phone that jeans and t-shirts/tops for both men and women were needed... and that's what I brought. They took two of my shirts after I waited a whole entire hour and wasted gas. I brought what they needed when I called but clearly the staff does not have what they truly need all together. They're super picky and the reality of the matter is, they're all just teenagers/young adults who probably don't care and up charge everything anyways. Waste of time. read more

WORST place ever. I have never felt more belittled. I had Gucci, Altard state, Davids Bridal, you name it. God forbid I brought it in a garbage bag. WHATS THE BIG DEAL? Take my garbage bag and shove it up your a$$!!! I'm done this place really makes you feel like a piece of sh!t. read more

I think I have been going to Plato's for about a decade now and I feel like it is getting so stingy with everything. With what they accept the inconsideration for people's time and effort to get rid of good clothes that the person no longer wears. I have taken dresses with tags , ugs, vans , jeans and sweaters, things that are not out of style yet they say next time and make me come back and still just lead you to thinking your stuff is good when it's not. I just remember going and always being able to give a bag and feel happy that there is a place to take things that would still be of value. However, now it is like all they want is to low ball people and get more bags. They said sorry you're a thrift store and no I will not take my handbags so you can give me $5 for a fendi bag. I really wish they would have another establishment where they can maybe accept more because this is just throwing away customers who do not feel valued anymore. read more

Probably the worst Plato's closet and thrift store I've been to. Brought in four big tubs of clothing two tubs with tags still on every piece. They took none of it. As we were leaving the tall man working there decided he had to make a comment and tell us "don't bring this stuff in here again. I don't want stuff like this in more store". All you have to say is we're not interested he didn't have to act like I was bringing drugs into his store. DO. NOT. GO. HERE. read more

Don't waste your time. Place is disorganized, and the staff is rude. The store is dirty, and the staff rolled their eyes. It was a waste of time. read more

Wife and daughter love a good bargain and these two are professional bargain hunters armed to the teeth with coupons and resources to secure, maximize and efficiently acquire only the most value per dollar spent! They walked in, scoped the place as it was crowded. My daughter immediately said prices were high, no bargains in sight and all the items on racks seem to be leftovers. My wife also compares prices and she said she was best going over somewhere else. Oh well, we tried! read more

I have been going here for years and I have always walked out with a bunch of stuff and that feeling like I got great items for a reasonable price. I would have to say my last 3 trips to Platos I left empty-handed and disappointed with the quality of the selection and the prices. My recent trip there will most likely be my last. The prices have gotten steep, and I hate that they started drawing red lines through all their clearance items. I always would pick out a few things from the clearance but no longer have an interest now that the clothing is ruined with a red line through the tag. read more

I wish I had read the reviews prior to coming here. They did not look through all of the clothing I brought. The amount they offered for the 4 items they wanted to buy was insulting. As a seller you're expected to have your clothes folded and organized when brining it in...but they have no problem throwing your clothing in the bag. They claimed that the wear of some items were a factor in not accepting them- most of the clothing I brought were barely used. Even so this is a thrift store I'm not sure why they expect the clothing to be brand new? Stay away better offer selling your clothes on Mercari or poshmark. read more

TERRIBLE STORE!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR GAS AND COME HERE. I gave them a bag full of well known brands, trendy with no wear whatsoever. They only accepted ONE SHIRT and gave me a dollar and fifty cents. They even had a a sign in the store saying how they were looking for gym shark, and other popular brands yet wouldn't take what I gave them which included what they were looking for. What I gave was great quality never even wore what I gave. I also looked through the store and I see how they accepted brands that aren't even "in" and they accepted clothing that had stains on it and were very worn, yet they wouldn't take any of my trendy nice clothing with no wear or stains. PLEASE MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE!!!! DO NOT COME HERE YOULL WASTE YOUR TIME. read more

They find reasons not to take the things they say they want. This place is a big waste of time. Good concept, but poorly executed. Very frustrating to take things they ask for there, wait over an hour, even buy stuff from them, then they deny everything you bring. Go elsewhere. read more

Don't waste your time. Heads up to anyone who hasn't been here before there's a no garbage bag rule so if you don't want the staff to roll their eyes at you make sure you bring your clothes in a laundry bag. It's mentioned no where on the website. Also after being told to wait over an hour for them to "access" my clothing I was told they would be taking nothing of mine due to "too much inventory of sweaters" my bags contained about 4 sweaters, and about 30 other items ranging from jeans, leggings, tops, pants, sweatshirts, etc. My bags were also almost completely in tact when I received them back which leads to my believe they weren't even properly appraised. Seriously not worth the gas money would rather donate my clothing moving forward. read more

The people who work here are not very helpful. I just waited in line for 10 minutes with no one in front of me because the 2 other people behind the counter thought it was more important to put away the clothes in baskets than to help someone waiting in line that is trying to purchase something. That is pretty ridiculous! The clothes are usually in good shape and affordable. I just wish the people were more helpful. read more
