Pros: The check in process for selling clothes is easy and the tracking website is a good touch. Cons: Out of 10 full trash bags of clothes in really good shape they literally only took 14 items; basically 5%. However we did get $40 for those 14 things so not terrible. Overall, Probably a decent option to sell a small amount of clothes but the hassle involved with hauling in 10 bags and hauling 9 out makes me not plan to do it again. read more

Staff is incredibly rude. They have tons of clothes and other accessories, you could really spend hours in here if you wanted to. Although, the service makes me never want to return... unfortunately. read more

I gave them a bin full of new / slightly used clothes & they were rejected all but 7 items. AND the 7 items all had the tags on them & were in sealed wrapping , the 7 items were totaled out to $75 & Platos closet only offered me $12. The image provided below was one of the items in the bin that were rejected , it is NOT real Gucci but it's super cute & new! read more

Plato's Closet - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

VERY UNSANITARY-WARNING: GROSS PHOTOS PROVIDED. I find it ridiculous that Plato's often times won't accept almost brand new clothes from sellers but will purchase and sell shorts that have period blood from the previous owner. I did not realize they had stains until after I bought them at final sale. No return since it was on clearance. I thought it was be obvious that they don't buy clothes with blood in them. I was just about to wash them and try to get the small stains out when I flipped over the pocket and saw this disgusting mess. Ended up throwing them away. This is completely unsanitary and disgusting!! Moral of the story is, make sure you check your clothes for any stains or blood because this Plato's obviously doesn't look and is willing to rip you off. And whoever sold these shorts, this is so disgusting. I wouldn't even give these away for free to anyone! Gross! read more

Might aswell give your clothes to good will , this place is a waste of time and they don't give you a good value amount for your clothes.

This location is the best in San Antonio. If your clothes are in good conditions, free of stains and holes, and not super old, you can sell them. Don't expect to get as much as you paid, but you can get a decent amount selling denim and CLEAN shoes. The customer service is always amazing and your always greeted by at least 3 people. The managers accommodate most people's needs, and while it is sometimes awkward hearing your clothes are out of style, the buyers are friendly and considerate when presenting your offer. Overall I recommend this location if you are shopping on a budget. Great for summer tank tops ($3-8) and shorts ($4-10). read more

Plato's Closet - Coach wallet I bought for $14.00! It was still in the original box and retailed online for $99 I think. - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My first experience at Plato's Closet I took a large bag of clothes to sell and they told me I can come back in half an hour or they'll text me when it's ready, then I saw her put the bag in the floor by the backroom. So I left, did some things, got no call, and went back half an hour later. When I went in I saw the bag sitting in the same spot she left it and they told me "these items have stains and don't comply to the style we sell here." I was very upset to hear this, one: most clothes had tags on them. Two: I checked all the clothes and separated the ones that had stains (didn't even take those to sell here). And three: the bag looked untouched. Do they even go through these clothes? I will never go back here because it was a waste of time. Lost my business. read more

They're mainly rude and act like they have better things to do most of the time. Once in a while I'll have someone nice

I came in to sell a few things and they offered me a really good price. While I was waiting I did some shopping and found some great items to buy at a great price. One of the best things is everyone of the employees was very helpful, very polite and I felt completely welcome. I will definitely be back to buy and sell. read more

Stopped shopping here years ago because of how you couldn't try clothes on during covid / which is understandable. I ended up needing to return a few things since they did not fit and the employees were rude about it . After that I made the mistake of attempts sell here and brought in nice gently used items and was offered $4 for 6 or 7 items . I laughed because I thought they were kidding at first . Never again will I waste my time . Their prices are also very high for a second hand clothing store . You're better off going to the mall and getting it new or even selling your items online . They sell clothes with stains yet won't accept clothes with the slightest imperfections . Do better read more

Great selection of clothes and accessories but the customer service is awful. No one acknowledges you or offers any help and every time I go in the evening there's no one at the register. I've been cashed out twice by Emily already and she's not very polite, doesn't say hello or thank you. Literally just tells your total and hands you your receipt. No other words. read more

Wouldn't even give them a single star but that's the lowest you can rate. I wouldn't waste your time trying to sell clothes here. Brought in two bags of named brand clothes (AE, lululemon, VS, etc) some that were only worn a few times and a few with price tags still on them and they only bought 3 items which I'm surprised they even were interested in yet you can scan through the store and find items very dated, damaged and stained. Go somewhere else when it comes to selling and managing your time. read more

The customer service here is horrendous. They don't greet you, they don't smile. They really don't conversation or help Much at all but seem to have attitudes with customers. There is one girl here who Seems to actually like the job and people in general. Tried to use the fitting room and you have to hunt someone down in order to get assistance. It's a cool place if only the staff wasn't so rude:( read more

I am honestly confused about some of the things that they rejected. I brought in one basket and one bag. Some of those items include 2 pair of Nike shorts one white and one navy blue that were worn one time, 3 brand name pencil skirts (one with the $80 price tag still on it), one Ralph Lauren polo v neck that has zero stains and looks new to me, VS Pink sweat pants with rhinestones on the side (not missing one single rhinestone), and 3 pairs of American eagle jeans. That's just the things I brought that don't really go out of style. I worked at a consignment store for 4 years and some of the items they rejected I can understand but it's like they went through the bag and didn't go through the basket. It all looks folded just the way I sent it in. I am confused and don't suggest going here. The girls were pretty nice though. They did buy 7 items (I didn't look at what) and I got $19. I am posting pictures of some of the things that they rejected. read more

Don't recommend selling your things here. The employees are rude and pressure you into selling your things for $1. There's really no question if the price is ok. It's just here's your money and that's it. If you change your mind the manager is super rude even after her employees don't give you a chance and make you feel like your putting them out by asking if you can see the prices they gave. Then if you ask for a few of the items you didn't want to sell for that cheap. They roll there eyes and expect you to be able to fish it out when you can barley get your arm under the plastic divider. I asked if I could have a certain item back and she just pushed the box to me and stared at me. But I couldn't get to it because the box was standing straight up and I couldn't reach it under the plastic divider and no they don't help you. read more

This store is LOADED! Pros: SO many clothes to look through! I like their organization by type of garment and clear sizing labels. Everything I saw was definitley on-trend. The mens section is HUGE compared to most secondhand stores. Cons: There is an overwhelming amount of garbage clothes (Forever 21, H&M, Target brands). But that's the nature of the store, appealing to the younger crowd. Also I really wanted to find some shoes, but they are not organized by size AT ALL. Very mixed up and discouraging. I did make it out with a sweater from Altr'd State and one from American Apparel, both under $10. If you've got time to sift and dig, this location is definitley a gold mine. Will be returning regularly. read more

Weird buying techniques but all these places can be so subjective and what I mean is that the buyer viewing your stuff can love or hate it one day and then you try again and they buy it. Honestly I never expect much from consignment stores but when I'm trying to declutter my own closet I bring a bag full of clothing and jewelry and hope for something to sell otherwise goodwill gets lucky with some nice donations and some designer clothing I don't care to wear anymore. They bought some joes jeans, some anthropology sweater, a polo hat, vintage necklace, and some other shirt and payed me $32. Not bad for stuff I would have donated or thrown out. They buy all day no need for appointment just get your name on the list and they'll give you a bin and pick up time. If you don't get back by closing they donate what they don't buy, so be back by 9 unless you don't care... Staff was friendly. read more

Save your time and only take designer jeans,slacks,skirts or shorts...took 12 pairs of Hollister denim jeans for my first time reselling I walked away with 86.00 bucks not bad... I did bring in what I thought was great name brand (2 large suitcases to be exact) they look theoually through every single item of clothing and prob wont buy most of what u want to sell but bottoms r a for sure deal breaker... read more

I've sold and bought from this company and both experiences were great. I've found some really cute pieces and they give you quite a bit more money than the other places I've sold to before. I highly recommend this store. read more

I've been twice to Plato's to sell some clothes now, and I'm pretty on the neutral side. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. The first time I went, I feel as though they were ripping me off for what I was trying to sell (A $40 jacket, plus two pairs of jeans for only $12), so I said no. I decided to try them again, and today wasn't too bad. I usually never buy my clothes full price anyway, so they gave me $9 for a pair of Forever21 Jeans, and 3 Forever 21 tanks. Since I bought all of those items on sale, it wasn't a big deal. I even bought two tops while I was there for a total of $19, so I really just spent about $10. Not too shabby. They do have the within 12-18 month policy as well, that they tell everyone as to why they can't buy your clothes. However, all the pieces they bought from me were bought from Forever21 in the summer and fall of 2011. (This is true because I know where every piece of clothing I bought is from, the price range, and when I paid for it. I'm not a snob, I'm just really picky about clothes) So yeah, they're either really picky, or just going for a certain "look" for the type of audience they're trying to sell to. If you're going to sell clothes here, I would only sell pieces that I know didn't cost me too much. If I bought something expensive, then I'd definitely just sell it on Ebay. Not that they don't have name brand stuff, its just if they try to as you say, "rip you off," then just sell it elsewhere and get more money. As for the clothes at the actual store, I wasn't too impressed. I am a college student, and most of the clothes do tailor towards high school, and middle school aged students like they promote, so I'd be better off at Clothes Mentor. For the people who review these Plato's Closet stores, yeah they may not have clothes worth your money, but there are other consignment stores that tailor to the older crowds. Find those. read more

It's a good place to buy clothes but they really do disappoint at buying your clothes. All the clothes that I took were all name brands like H&M, forever 21, hollister and yet they didn't want anything for them. They told me they had stains or missing buttons or not what they are looking to sell. Seriously! My clothes are in great condition! I doubt they even looked at my clothes! I was very disappointed! Try and sell when they aren't busy like the week days. They might be too busy to even bother at your clothes on weekends. read more

Everyone was very friendly, the girl that runs the dressing room was very nice and another girl who runs the register got me a bag to put all my clothes in and was extremely patient with me!! read more

My friend brought a lot of close to sell here and for 8 items they wanted to buy for $22?! If that is not the problem they wanted to only give back part of the clothes she was going to sell, and when she went back to ask for the rest of her clothes, " Oh sorry." They knew exactly what box of clothes she was talking about... talk about a Rip off. Maybe it's not the place with the problem that I have, but it's one or two employees that don't have their values in line for their customers. Show some integrity read more

Horrible staff Why does it say that these stores buy clothes when they never take anything you bring? Even on new things with the tags they turn away! If your store has to much clothes then tell people that yall can't accept anything else instead of wasting my time. The employees look like they hate they're life. read more

Perfect for the revolving closets most girls have...One week we have NOTHING to wear the next week we have too many options we can't decide. For me platoes lets me swap stuff I'm no longer in love with so I can relish in new finds that at last complete that killer outfit I've been carefully puzzle piecing together. I very rarely buy clothes for full price after knowing I can get them for half the cost here. All you have to do is look, so leave your big purse in the car and put your cell phone away so you can be hands free in the hunt! read more

They are all rude here . And super fake , it's cringe worthy shipping here . Sad customer service skills

I went to drop off my clothes to be sold at 12pm. I then went to pick up after work at 6pm. Everyone was very pleasant . I was able to get $40 for 10 items. So I am very satisfied with my experience with them. And I shop there all the time. This was my first time selling with them though. Great job! read more

After cleaning my husband and I's closet, we had a lot of clothing to donate/ sell and room for a closet upgrade! Decided to visit this location to drop off some men and women clothing to sale. The turn around time was quick, the staff member gave me an estimate of 45 minutes- for which was accurate! Upon returning, I decided to check the store out after receiving my cash for the clothing I had sold. TIP: They will buy more men clothing than woman clothing. Surprisingly they offered me 20.00 for 6 clothing items they chose and offered more money for store credit. I decided to take the cash but still lounged around inside to look at the store, the store has a lot of good items! Majority of the clothing is trendy, with abundant woman clothing! Clothing is fairly priced, I found some nice dresses for 5.00! Hence, my experience here selling and buying was great! Staff was helpful, and very friendly! Definitely, will stop by to sell more clothing here or to purchase clothing! read more

WARNING! Dont ever take your clean, pressed, some unworn CURRENT style clothes here to sell! I took a huge bin of nice, gently if ever worn clothes in current styles here and the lady basically rummaged thru so fast she never looked at half of it, then wadded it in a huge messy pile and told me they couldnt buy any of it b/c some showed signs of wear(um, youre secondhand store)& that the rest were styles thst didnt sell well in their stores(I saw tons of jeans in way worse condition in the same brands, same styles on the rack in the store).....whatever! If i EVER come back I'll be sure to bring a garbage bag full of ratty worn out jeans and tshirts b/c she was buying that shit up like it was gold! BTW....I would give 0 stars if i could! read more

Iv been here plenty of times, there is one girl there in particular that when i show up i dont get anything for what i bring in.. 0 dollars. Ill bring the exact bag back when she isnt there and ill get something $10-$20. Apparently shes the manager, her name is Angela. This last time i brought a bag in to Angela you can tell she didn't even go through it. All the clothes were folded and in the order that i put them in before i turned them in. Literally anyone else in there will give you money for what you bring in. They dont greet you with the fake smile either like Angela. read more

Plato's Closet is wayyyy to pretentious. You are second hand store. Second hand. You are not cute like Buffalo Exchange, you will never be Nordstroms. Stop being so ridiculously, overly picky with people's clothes! I took in two huge and overly stuffed bags to sell. They took nothing. Nothing! I had a few BCBG dresses, designer jeans, and cute tops/ dresses from Forever 21, Target, ect. Nothing had holes, rips, or stains. You mean to tell me Plato's Closet that not one single clothing item was worthy of gracing the shelves at your store?! Come on. Plato's Closet needs a reality check and fast. I would not shop there if it was the last store on Earth, and I was naked in a blizzard desperately needing clothes. No thanks. You are better off selling and shopping at Buffalo Exchange where the people actually know fashion and can think outside the "tween" box. read more

This place is actually very nice despite many opinions on how strict they are when it comes to accepting items from people intending to sell them. I brought in about 11-12 items today (denim, pleather jackets, an assortment of tops and a pair of high heels that never fit). They ended up taking 7 of the aforementioned items for $30 and explained the reason why they couldn't accept the other things I brought in due to it being the wrong season for what items they're accepting for the summer. The women behind the counter were very nice, informative, and very patient with giving me the run-down as a first time seller at Plato's Closet. A few tips I would give to people planning to sell items to Plato's in the future would be: 1) Bring more than 4 items but less than 14 so you don't overwhelm the associates with a big tub of items. 2) They like denim and if you have any mint (or almost mint) condition Levis skinny jeans lying around Plato's will take those. They took 3 pairs of Levis skinny jeans I sold them. 3) Sadly they seem prefer smaller sizes to purchase, such as hard to find XS or 00 sizes in pants or jackets. 4) Don't be afraid to bring in men's clothes, my friend had me sell his red Levi skinny jeans and they bought them! 5) Bring celebrity brands like Jessica Simpson jeans or tops (those are a big hit for some reason and they bought them from me.) 6) Don't be afraid to bring in shoes, I brought in a pair of gorgeous buckled ankle boots that I never wore and they loved them. 7) They are very picky about seasons, and will not accept things like a heavy leather jacket, rain coats, heavy knit sweaters if it's summer or the end of spring. 8) Please don't expect them to accept EVERY name brand you bring in like Calvin Klein or the Gap because they really prefer more youthful styles like Alloy, Forever 21, and skinny form fitting ankle jeans such as the ones made by Levis or celebrity brands. Finally, the last bit of advice is if you don't sell everything or even anything please don't be too upset because the associates do try to be polite and engage the customer. I wanted to actually leave this review here today because the last review left was in 2013 and many reviews complained about associates who are probably not even working there anymore. One more thing to finally clear up is they do give you cash right there on the spot if they do decide to take your items. When you walk in they have you fill out a form with your name and then they tell you what time later that day to come back when they can tell you if they will purchase anything or not. Today they had my friend and I wait 3 hours from when we came in at 1pm and everything was ready at 4pm as they had specified when the clothes were dropped off. read more

I love this store! Staff is always attentive and nice and all have great style! I love taking my clothes to sell, I always make a little over $50, sometimes even more. The best tip I can give you is that they are a business looking to make a profit, not a charity for your clothes that have been sitting in your garage for the past 5 years. They will take the good stuff that you have had within the past two years and I truly believe they pay top dollar for everything you buy. I have also done trades with them, when you do a trade you save on taxes. It's an easy way to get rid of some of the things you don't wear any more and get new styles to try! read more

Fairly new second hand thrift store by Helotes. The proces are nice and low on almost everything, except womens shoes. Of course as usual in any clothing store, 80% of it is taken up by womens clothing, so the guys have slim pickings. Very clean store with friendly staff. read more

I love this store. My daughter loves this store. Today we went shopping for school clothes and found one wedge shoe but not the other one. An employee named Katy told us we can keep shopping and she would look for the lost other wedge. She found it. She was awesome. She made my daughter very happy. I am very happy. Good Customer Service is a dying breed. Katy is a young kid and she showed me that there are still good people out there. read more

The staff was very unfriendly. When I got in line to see what they bought from me three ladies ignored me while giggling and gossiping to one another. I was standing right in front of one of them and it took her a while to even acknowledge me. I know they're picky about what they buy and that doesn't bother me their attitude however does. The location off of 410 is so much friendlier too bad it's further away from my house. read more

Plato's closet is a waste of time, they never buy any of my stuff because they claim it is "out of style" yet when I look around the store they have clothes just like it. I think they are too lazy or don't want to bother because they already have too much stuff. Better off selling at a garage sale. Definitely won't be back read more

I absolutely love this Platos closet! I had just come into town when I had heard about them so I decided to take a look and I was AMAZED. Not only did they have clothes with great prices but they had clothes with great prices that I liked. Not to mention I bought a pair of shoes for $16.00 that normally retailed at $500+!! What I like about this Platos opposed to some of the other ones is they see to have a larger selection of men's clothes. 5 stars!!! read more

I'm sorry but I'm very disappointed. Received a grand total of $10.60 for an Abercrombie hoodie, an American Eagle hoodie and a Gilly Hicks tee... Totally cheated. I could've sold the hoodies on eBay for at least $20... I don't think I'll ever be coming back. I don't recommend selling here unless you need the money now. read more

buying is great, Selling is OK, and customer service is horrible. you can find some amaaaazing things here For an awesome deal, and they stay really current. selling is really weird there, we have odd rules about stuff and there have been times where they give me a ton of money for a crappy shirt and three dollars for a $100 dress. Doesn't bother me though, they have saved me when I desperately needed some cash quick. My major issue here is the customer service, every time I come it seems like the people working there hate their jobs, they have zero communication skills, and they talk to each other about their personal lives more than they talk to the customer standing right in front of them to pay. read more
