Alright when you sell your clothes here they clearly state that: (1) they sell clothes for 50-70% off their original prices in the store and (2) that youre only getting a small percentage. I look at it like this, getting money for clothes you want to donate is better than nothing! Went in with BRAND NEW / STILL WITH TAGS clothing items from Brandy Melville, Forever 21, Victorias Secret, etc. and got a whooping $15.75! Amazing! It was a quick process less than 30 minutes but when they opened at 10 AM there was ALREADY A LINE! Would recommend just to get some spare change but there are other ways of making more money on your brand-name clothing items. I recommend selling online or through phones apps. Parking is tight and surrounded by one way streets, the staff is semi-friendly, the store has no atmosphere or music playing, etc. read more

Let me say that Plato's sell and buy program is great. But I know they can't buy everything, and I am always willing to spend money there to keep it open! It's my favorite place to shop. So my bestie and I love this place. We used to be able to come out and support because we enjoyed the clothes, the value, the ability to buy and sell our things, and mostly... the service that the staff would render. They were always friendly and helpful. We loved the money we saved and the vast selection of clothing we were able to see! Fast forward (it's a Saturday night) and I heard about their sale on the radio! It's been a while since I came to see them, but I always am excited to see what they have in store! Here is where I wasn't too happy... I walked into Plato's on a mission for a great sale and parts for my Halloween costume. It's strange that I was not "greeted" like they normally do. I thought they were just busy, but I noticed they had 5 customers in the store and 4 workers(?). There was a "manager in charge" person (gentleman), that stood in the front of the store. He notices the store is slow, so he tells the other workers to grab clothes that were in the back, to bring them up front. Then, A female and a male were talking and laughing, completely ignoring him. I could tell that they were more interested in changing the music overhead than to listen to someone tell them to work. Although the female must have said something back to the male in front, because he had to explain himself saying "...because I have to watch the front, can you please bring the clothes in back up front." By this time I started to hunt for what I was looking for (Mary Jane's and a yellow shirt)... I continued searching, searching , searching... the music keeps switching songs, and finally the male in the front calls out the other male employee (which was standing next to the disobedient female) to grab the clothes in back, in which, he listens and goes over to grab what was being asked for. I am for hardworking people and customer service, but maybe someone needs to check the female working this night and tell her that this job isn't for her. Because of her idle goofing off and insubordinate attitude, the male in front was going to be distracted with baby sitting this female while employed here, which is not okay in my book. I felt more angry and irritated for him. He needs a vacation and the girl should be cut. If you wanted to know, I did have a question for the workers that I couldn't ask, because of all this happening, so I left. I never got a "hello" or a "have a nice day" I felt shunned. read more

I've had decent experiences here which is why I'll keep it at 2 stars but if today was my first time coming here, I'd definitely never come back! I came in with two small bags with Hollister jeans/shorts, some cute tube tops and bralettes. The man told me 20-25 min so I shopped around where I saw clothing much less in style than what I had brought in (but whatever). Ended up buying a bodycon dress for $8. Waiting...waiting... waiting.... 30 minutes pass and my name still isn't on the board... They clearly see me coming back to check the board multiple times because I was starting to get irritated. Finally 45 minutes pass and my boyfriend suggests I go in and ask what the hold up is since I literally had 20 items max. So I go in, ask if my stuff is done and the lady says "oh it's been done" as if I should know. I responded with "oh, why isn't my name on the board?" And she said "ummm I don't know guess he didn't write it". It's almost comical how unacceptable that customer service interaction was. Overall, they took 5 bralettes and offered me $12, when I see them selling the bralettes for up to $10 each. It was pretty shocking that they didn't want brand name shorts and jeans that were hardly used and much more in style than the ones they had on display. I guess how they make their money is by lowballing you. I don't have the time or effort to sell privately for more money so it's whatever to me but if you actually want value for your clothes don't come here. read more

They bought 2/50+ articles I brought in but better than nothing! They have really nice stuff in there but I didn't do any purchasing

Employees here are professional liars!! I dropped off my clothes to sell and they told me to wait 45 minutes. I came back in 45 minutes and they asked me to wait another 15 minutes which I kindly did. After waiting an hour I went back in, and they told me they didn't even touch the bag yet. I asked why didn't they call me to tell me that they changed the time (AGAIN) instead of having me go back and forth waiting? Her answer was - "that isn't our business practice, but I can give this feedback to upper management. It was the manager who told me that LOL!! So what I hear is they don't have good and honest business practices at this place. This store is a waste of time and have very low end items. Go to Ecotown to sell anything worthy and if you want to be treated with standard business professionalism! read more

Forgot my workout clothes and stopped in to see if they had anything in my size! Huge selection of all clothes and was able to get some clothes for tennis practice! read more

went here the other day to sell, they got 8 items from me and only gave me $25 lol which i'm like alright ig but the fact that i had a pair of $20 jorts and they js bought it off me for $3-4 rubs me the wrong way, (probably could tried to ask for more money, but they were busy and wasn't trying to take up their time) but even $10 woulda been better and they're definitely gonna sell it for like $15-18 bc even looking at their clothes they have stuff still priced pretty high for denim. probably should have been patient and sold on facebook marketplace.. i recommend u do the same in terms of selling ur clothes. also they advertise buybacks end an hour before closing which is understandable, and today they're scheduled to close at 9pm BUT they're probably short or something bc they decided to close at 8pm (i show up at 7:30pm thinking they're good to look through my stuff). I just wish they had simply POSTED on instagram instead I waste my time and gas showing up just to be turned away. They've been so active too, and I deliberately checked their instagram to avoid this very issue. More than likely will be avoiding coming back here as my 2 interactions with this place has been mediocre at best. Also noticed a lot of shein and stuff on the racks, which nothing wrong with that (saving stuff from the landfills i guess), but the quality of shein is rly poor so I wouldn't be trying to buy it for myself personally. read more

Where is the negative 10 star! Stunned amazed horrified that this is still in business! No social distancing ! No cleaning,No customer service 3 employees walked right by me didn't say hello, can I help you? Nothing oh one girl completely ignored me so she could join in on the conversation with the other employees behind the counter! Only way I know there were employees working were the girls too busy putting away things to talk to us and the girls behind the counter! I never shop in this store, and tonight I was reminded why! I would rather donate my clothes then sell my things to them! Horrible! It made me give a one star so I could post, read more

YO!! What's up with all these haters trying to sell old clothes to this place? Lol yes they're picky, and they don't pay much for the few items they'll take -- but that's good if you're buying like me! It's FUN TO SHOP HERE!!! It's fun to shop among well curated pieces in a clean, good vibes store. We're in our late 30s and found lots of fun, comfortable, stylish brands at fair prices, averaging $10-15 an item. We plan to return! Maybe we'll buy something of yours!! Haha PS: true tho, you will get pennies on the dollar for your clothes IF they buy them at all. Just let it go! read more

If I had only found this place earlier to sell back items. What's nice is you will get cash back at the time you get your quote. The time to get a quote will vary. One time it was 20 minutes. The next day it was 1.5 hours. And depending the time of day, there might be a line. Keep In mind this store is supposedly for teens to 20 something year olds so they are highly selective on what they take... but at least you can get a couple bucks back if they want your stuff. read more

Came here to sell what I could of my daughter's clothes before donate them. Overall, good experience. A little confusing for my first time there attempting to sell. Fill out form, wait 30 min or whatever the advise you and wait. Ummm, ok. I waited but had to ask 30 min later as I thought they'd call my phone. They put your name on the whiteboard when done. OK. Now I know. I was very happy as I left with a few remaining pieces. They give you cash or store credit. Take the cash! read more

Smells terrible like college student sweat! Not a fan of the ambiance or selection of merchandise that day. Staff were not friendly and not very approachable. Did not purchase anything. read more

I do agree with the rest of the comments that the prices tend to be almost the same price as retail if the item is in great condition and that the workers can be mean. You'd think that they'd appreciate your business but they don't. I had bought a good amount of stuff and when I brought it to the counter the guy said "god damn" under his breath. Multiple girls there run thrift pages where they resell the clothes for more and because they're employees, they get first pick at everything but for even cheaper prices. That didn't seem fair to me... but whatever. The selection of clothes is okay. It really is a hit or miss and they do try to keep it as organized as possible. There's a lot of clothes there read more

Clean, organized and in a convenient location. Wait was very long for selling and you need to settle same day. I had already waited an hour and so I just collected my items and left. Staff seemed nice and friendly. Most items were of the lowest fast fashion quality (Shein, Forever 21 etc). Seems targeted more to teens. If you are looking for contemporary lines, vintage, surf brands, department store brands or longer lasting quality items you'll have better luck elsewhere. My items for sale were higher end denim brands (Current Elliot and AG) and brand new with tags Uniqlo so I questioned whether they would even take it, which is also why I left before they went through my items. read more

Ok I rarely ever give a one star review but today's visit to Plato's Closet was a disappointment to say the least. I will not be coming back here!! Brought in 4 stuffed bags of clothes and some purses. I know that Plato's is catered to teens and young adults so they want more "trendy" clothing or what the girl told me on the phone, "up to date" clothing. But what I don't get is why people would want to give away things are currently in trend. So while I browsed the racks as the girl went through my bags, I noticed a lot of Brandy Melville, H&M, American Eagle, F21 etc. Some things were similar to things that I brought so I thought they would at least take SOME things. Well it didn't take long before my name was written on the board (which means they're done assessing your items). I thought wow that was fast. Come to find out the girl didn't take any of my things! Yes some of my clothes were outdated like my old Guess stuff but many of my clothing could be worn today and still "in style." Honestly the girl going through my clothes didn't really look like she had style so I don't think she should of been determining what to take and what not to take. I also think she was too lazy to go through everything cause there was A LOT of stuff. Anyway def won't be coming back here again. Service isn't great and their prices for used clothing are a rip off. read more

So I heard the owner Travis on the radio one day. He said they desperately need men's clothes so I figured I give it a try. I take 4 jeans to sell and all got denied. They bought nothing. I had a Hugo Boss, 7 For All Mankind, Kenneth Cole, and a Calvin Klein jeans. When comparing my jeans condition to the ones on the rack they were comparable. They told me my jeans are not popular sellers. Well I guess the buyer doesn't want designer jeans. Brands I saw were H&M, Hollister, Quiksiler, Gap, and tons of Levis to name a few. When you're on the radio saying you're desperate for men's clothes then deny sellers who have mens clothes, what a disappointment. Again, it's not like my clothes were trash. Don't waste your time there. Better off donating it to a good cause. Read the reviews too. Most are true. read more

I've come here a couple times to buy and sell stuff. I've found some cute outfits and accessories too. It's always a great treasure trove of things, and you know it is still in good condition because they check and accept gently used, good condition clothing. This last visit, I brought my husband. He said he would buy a dress for me. My favorite shop was closed, and this place was really close. So we stopped here. I just like to state that bringing your significant other into this place is the best move ever!! I went to try on my outfits and he went crazy looking at the sneakers and men's shirts. HE BOUGHT MORE STUFF THAN I HAD! I think I created a monster. Which made is pretty fair game to add a couple more outfits! Anyhow, he was so impressed with the designer finds in great condition and at an affordable price. He actually found some Jordan's and imitation yeezys too. So Plato's Closet is NOT just for women. Bring your man so he can find stuff too (he'll be so happy about the savings, that he'll buy your stuff too!) read more

This place is clean and bigger than I was expecting. Clothes are clean and everything is very well organized. Prices are a little high for a thrift store but remember you are shopping on an island so it didn't bother me that much. You are still getting it at a better price! Staff is very welcoming. I will be back ! read more

I'm very surprised by the anything less than stellar reviews. I came here today and was greeted walking in and also had an upbeat happy cashier when I checked out. As for the clothing selection, it's a thrift store so you may get lucky or try again next time! I came in looking for some new denim shorts crossing my fingers I could find them here at Plato's for a bargain price. I found a gorgeous pair of distressed lee high waisted shorts for $8 and also a baby blue bodysuit from forever 21 for $4. Both were in great pre-loved condition so I thought the pricing was fair and makes me want to come back. I've sold here in the past and was surprised by some things they didn't want to take, but I'd say if you don't sell on Poshmark/Depop and are going to donate your clothes anyway, bring the great condition stuff here first. read more

Plato's Closet - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've sold my clothes from this place before and even time i've came.... they bought my clothes. I recommend clothes you don't really want to be sold here, they only buy 50-70% off retail of what you give them. I went to Plato's yesterday, late afternoon (4pm?) I gave them my clothes and they told me to wait an hour. I thought that was fine since I saw there was a lot of names on the board in the front. When I came back..... THEY TOOK NOTHING. how you gonna let me wait an hour if you ain't gonna take nothing. I was giving a generous amount of good brands such as BRANDY MELLVILE, PACSUN, ROXY, and some others like nice thrifted dresses, shirts, workout clothing, and jeans (I didn't mind keeping my clothes since their still in style and good condition). I was friends with one of the coworkers who now I currently I drama with, maybe that's why they didn't take my clothes? I was hoping they would atleast put that aside and do their job...... "I'm sorry you didn't have anything in season for us to purchase, so we're just gonna give everything back". I will come back to try sell my clothes again with different employees around. But I guess I'm thankful they were being nice about it..... read more

They barely take my high end close and they have clothes with stains and cut t shirts into crop tops. They are the most pricey out of all thrift stores yet low quality. read more

Love it!! Not too much of a men's selection esp for higher than XL. For women on the other hand, if you got time to look you'll probably leave here with one or two pieces. Prices are ok it's not really thirfty prices. But they have good current selections. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. Worst place ever. The customer service- they are all super rude. I brought 2 bags of amazing clothes and they didn't want anything. They told me they don't accept "kids sizes" even though they were all adult sizes (petite / small). I didn't bring in crappy or very used items. They were almost brand new and in really good condition, very nice quality. The only thing they wanted was my $200 san lorenzo bathing suit and $150 ralph lauren jacket, and they wanted to pay me $19 for both TOTAL. What a joke. I said no and the guy looked at me weird. Wtf? The brands I brought in were Charlotte Russe, Brandy Melville, Forever 21, Bershka, Zara, Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie & Fitch, Lululemon, Adidas, etc. ALL brands they said they "love". These were all in great condition too. It's funny my lululemon leggings were practically brand new and weren't kid sizes (size 4) and they said it wasn't as new. IVE ONLY WORN IT ONCE. NO STAINS or anything. Super rude, the clothes on the shelf's looked ridiculous too so I'm very shocked. My clothes looked a lot better. They told me they aren't picky on the phone, yet I brought over like 500 clothing items and they didn't want anything. I drove 45 min all the way here for nothing. They weren't even kind at all. Don't even waste your time driving here or interacting with anyone at this business. I'm surprised they're still in business- super greedy and disrespectful. P.S. it's not mainly they didn't want my clothes, it's mainly that they were really rude. The guy could've at least been nice. read more

Yikes. Read the other bad reviews because they are 100% true. I enjoy looking for good, pre-owned pieces. However, all they seem to buy is Forever21, H&M, and brands from Jean's Warehouse. Some items have stains, snagged fabric, and threads that are coming undone. On top of that, they price these items $15-18? Why would anyone want to spend $18 on a used, beat up, H&M dress when we could pay the same amount for a new one. If you're looking for cool brands and better-quality pieces, I'd recommend Poshmark. read more

The only disappointment I have is that you can't try on clothes and they only give store credit for returns. My preteen daughter found Hollister jeans with the tags on but after purchasing, found they didn't fit. It would be nice since you can't try on to get your money back, but they are not the only clothing store to have this policy so it is what it is. Returning gave her the opportunity to sell some of her clothes since this was our first time in the store. They took 4 out the 5 items we brought and we got a fair amount of $. The process was easy and the staff were all very courteous and helpful. We will definitely return since she has a credit but would have anyway, it was a pleasant experience. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I just moved here and got rid of 75% of my clothing. I had at least 30 shirts/shorts with the tags still on it (express, americans eagle, Oakley, Nike) I took about 12 huge bags here with mostly barely worn jeans and men's T-shirts from name brand stores. I'd say I brought in over 400 articles of clothing and about 15 pairs of vans shoes and some Nikes. They took about 22 items total. I was SHOCKED. The woman, who is the owner (older woman) was mad I brought that much stuff in to sell. She told me it was too much and I need to go through it before I brought it, because they didn't have time to look through it all and it was taking up too much space behind the register. I have to admit I was quite offended. They are a buy and sell store, and their customer service was just horrendous and the owner was straight up rude. I absolutely will not return here, I rather just donate all my belongings to Salvation Army or Goodwill and give it to the homeless. Don't go here, you are wasting your time. read more

Great place to drop off resellable items on your way to drop off nonresellable items at Goodwill.

They take a lot of ugly clothes just because of brands but discard so many cute things. Asain girl with half bangs is very rude and weirdly mean. Especially to her co workers I honestly felt bad for one of them. Don't know how she has a job here treating her trainee like she was. read more

horrible service wouldn't recommend. they don't let you bring your purse in the dressing room and they keep it upfront when i went up to get it i told the worker i needed to get my purse back she doesn't say a word and then she gives it back i tell her thank you and doesn't say anything just rude and snobby. then the guy the i gave a bag of clothes to to try and sell was rude he said they didn't want any of it as it wasn't any style they wanted and was all to worn. all the stuff were super good and popular brands and stuff that is in style. half the store is full of stuff that probably most people won't even buy. don't go here i will never return. all plato's are horrible and shouldn't even be in business being as they barely accept any clothes and multiple people i know relate to this. read more

I'm gonna start off complete total scam !!! Everyone do not bother selling your stuff here because they most likely will not take it this place is crap also customer service is 0 I walked in there no acknowledgement I understand your busy check out at the register still face hanging looking like a fucking pug smile for once dammit !! garbage place shake my head !!! I saw Them figure I give it a try But no this is what I get in return look at all there other negatives if you don't believe me close this place down already !! read more

Waited 30 min for them to check my 2 full bags of items just for them to buy just my ONE pair of Adidas work out leggings!!!! Some of my clothes in there was only worn once and most were still trending in style. How you gonna tell me that they were faded and not in style? Best part was...the lady checking my stuff was a grandma. What the heck would she know about "trends"?! HAH never again read more

Extremely rude managers! Horrible management. Very rude and disrespectful. Will never take my items to them ever again. Very bad store operations. read more

They have no respect for branding here. Don't waste your time with this place if you have anything above Forever 21. Just seems like they don't know what they're looking at and are inexperienced with consignment. A lot of the items in the store are very basic and look worn out/cheap. I'll bring in items that have never been worn and still have retail value for upwards of 100 or 200 online. Free people or Revolve, Planet Blue, LPA, House of Harlow, NBD, Privacy Please, Winston White etc. will not sell here, and neither will anything vintage. Third time bringing items in and I finally give up. You're better off taking the time for Posh Mark. No Buffalo Exchange vibes here. read more

This is the second time that I have taken my clothes there but this time I had ALOT. I had about 3 garbage bags full, and 3 medium size shoppers full. Some of them even had the tags on them. They're located right across of Queen Kaahumanu Elementary school. So I walked in and I was greeted, dropped off our clothes and came back a few hours later to pick up what they did not take. Which I know they DID NOT look through all the bags. There was a hole in one of the garbage bags and a light blue shirt was visible in that hole. I came back and that SAME shirt was still visible in that same whole. Reason why they only took 6 pieces for if I can remember $24 and some change was because they shown wear and usage. Which I understand, but if that is your reason to why you didn't take the "over used" clothes, whats the reasons for not taking the brand new clothes with tags on them? To be honest, it was a waste of my time taking my things there. We're better off making a garage sale or going to the swap meet. read more

They have decent options when looking to buy second-hand clothes. I do enjoy shopping here. Unfortunately, I can only give 3 stars due to my selling experience. They are so strict with what they take. Not just in terms of brands, but the didn't want to take graphic tees or anything that seemed "too young". They said they wanted more business casual clothing. Which seemed weird since a lot of the audience buying here seems like a young crowd. read more

Drive 4 minute, brought in a small basket of clothes and small bag of a few shoe, 50 minutes before closing. They turned me away and said come back another day because they were too busy. Also, no hello or smile or anything. read more

I took 5 bags of clothes, shoes, bags & accessories all in good- excellent condition into this place thinking I would try to sell before donating. After leaving my things there for a few hours for them to go through, I came back only to be told that none of my things were brands/styles that they could sell in their store, so I walked out with everything I brought in. This place is not even worth the time or effort to take any of your used items to. Won't be going here again. read more

My wife likes Plato's Closet. All of their items are reasonably priced below retail, and they're straight forward on what they want to purchase from customers. People need to understand that they aren't going to get all of their money back on items that still have tags or may have been gently used. Plato's Closet is a great place to get a few dollars here and there, you won't get $100. And let's be real, if you bring in 2-3 large garbage bags filled with clothes they won't fully check it because they have a business to run. They don't have time to be going through all of the items you brought in. Another thing is that they are going to sell your items for more than what they gave you for them. They are a business and they need to make money to keep their business running. If you want to sell your items quickly then Plato's Closet is the best place. However, if you're trying to make all of your money back for your items then you're better off selling them on IG, FB, EBay, LetGo, Mercari, etc. read more

Plato's closet sold me a mislabeled pair of shoes labeled a size 10 when they were actually size 9 when I went to return them 24 hours after finding this out (stickers and receipt intact) I was told even though it was their fault they wouldnt return the shoes price in cash OR store credit and that I could "sell them back for $4 if I really wanted" SCAM read more

I wanted to give 0 stars, but unfortunately I had to give them 1. Tried to sell my clothes here, but was told they weren't going to take anything and then given a scripted response of, "regular wear and tear, although they were new items..." So I sold my rejected items to another store. Never coming back here again. Don't waste your time here, I would suggest selling your items elsewhere. read more
