place used to be a good spot to get shoes, now they just tax and have fake shoes. watch out if you are buying shoes, it's like 70% fakes and 30% authentic so just know your stuff if you go. they only save authentic shoes for these "shoe events" and all the resellers come grab them all. read more

this store had way too many "shein" and other fast fashion items. i did find a pair of Vans that were in pretty good condition, clean. overall store is a hit or miss. however the staff was very friendly and the place was clean to try on items. read more

I would not recommend trying to sell your clothes here, especially on a weekend. There were bins on bins of clothes being donated or sold so the wait time could be around 1-2 hrs for you. The person that was assisting me seemed new, she also didn't know where my items were stored so that was an unpleasant experience. The store itself needs a refreshing and a new smell. You'll know what I'm talking about when you walk in. Unfortunately they did not take any of my items, even ones that were last season and unworn. I had Express, American Eagle, and Calvin Klein branded items. I'd recommend trying to sell your clothes online instead of going to Plato's. read more

I tried these classes. I want to sign up for one class per week only since the classes are always booked.

This is literally the jankiest Plato's closet in GA! They constantly lying , nobody info ever matches up. I came to get an item posted on IG.. I get there , it's available sooo when they go ask the lady for the bag ... all of a sudden, it's on hold. The employee wanted the bag & didn't wanna sell it after posting it that it was indeed for sell. 0/10 do not recommend. They want to be picky about items but will buy items with the zippers broken , stains, missing accessories, broken buttons, etc. I won't be back . read more

First visit to this business today and the woman checking me in was unnecessarily short and rude. The middle-aged blonde woman greeted me by barking at me that I would not be allowed to bring clothes into her store again unless they were in a bin. I think it is great that she wants people to bring items in something reusable, but I was a first-time visitor and had no way of knowing this information. I explained to the woman that I was dropping clothes off at my daughter's request. She grunted to me to check in at a different part of the counter. I began check-in using my daughter's information and ID. She aggressively admonished me for using my daughter's information rather than my own. Again, first visit, I had no way of knowing she would prefer my information to check in clothes my daughter was selling. Things went downhill from there. I told her I wouldn't be selling clothes there and she told me not to return to the store. Such an ugly interaction for no reason. read more

Plato's closet is a franchise that specializes in selling and purchasing gently used name brand clothing, accessories for teens and adult clothing for those in their 20's and 30's. The first Plato's Closet opened in Columbus, OH in 1998. They're owned by Winmark which also owns Once upon a Child, Play it Again Sports. This location is off of Roswell Road in Sandy Springs near Abernathy Rd intersection. It's located in the shopping center as Publix. Parking can be a challenge on the weekends as the shopping center shares the parking lot with at least 30 businesses. The store itself is a decent size. I'm estimating about 2500 sq.ft. When I was there the place was packed with items but everything seems very well organized and neat. They sell everything from boots to men's polo shirts to scarves and purses. Most of the items looked like they were in good conditions. I think for the items that they sell the prices are fair. Not great but fair. Even though I didn't buy anything it was pretty fun to come in and browse. 1117th review 1/5/2018 37th for 2018 read more

This is my go-to spot for selling items! The staff being friendly is 50/50. And sometimes the store is clean and other times it's not. But, my experience at this location is better than any other that I have been to. read more

I'd say "I don't know why I keep coming to this location" but it's the convenience. This is the closest location to me. I've been a few times and it's a pretty poor experience each time. Bad customer service, if any is given. Today, a sales associate watched a family walk up and cut in front of me in line even after I spoke up. Pretty okay selection of items but it's always something like this at this store. I'd def recommend checking out other places because Plato's Closet has become pretty crappy over the years. read more

You can always find something here! There's just so much! You have to look but you'll definitely somethung, Omari made sure that I understood where everything was at! Thank you to the friendly staff read more

This review is for selling only. So many people sell here that their selling counter is only open for a few minutes before they have to shut it down. It's also so over saturated with sellers that they don't really buy any items anymore. read more

They're rude in here ... literally had someone leave the security tag on my clothes which was embarrassing when I tried to change at the gym and brought it back to be taken off. The women kept saying she was sorry and that I needed to have the tag for the pants. I had it in my car so I went to go get it. While leaving I heard them talking about me and my friend was still in there browsing but we came in at separate times ... why were they speaking negatively about me when I walked out. Like to be honest if you don't enjoy your job don't work . Like I'm not going back here ever again and I've been enjoying this place since high school (6 years ago) and was excited to return after moving back from NYC. Lol I'll hit the goodwill across the street read more

Worthwhile only if utilized as a prelude to dumping unwanted merch at goodwill. Though they only bought a few of my clothes,I left satisfied snagging 2 quality cocktail dresses for a pittance of their worth. SELLING: Staff usherd me though the process when I handed my box of clothes. Their purchase is contingent upon: styles for young adults (teens to 20s) and from as far as back as last season, also give preference to designer merch. They take about an hour to sort through so I asked if they could give me a call once come let, they said no. I just left and came back. I got $19 for 6-7 items. Mostly gap jeans, nicke top, Columbia hoodie and non brand name dress. For me this was a deal because I came with the intention of donating to Goodwill. BUYING: I bought a new Bebe dress for $18 it even came with the original tag ($159). Space is clean, well stocked and organized. If you're coming to make decent $$ out of your merch- fools dream. If you just wana toss your clothes then this is the place! There's even a goodwill in the next plaza for the merch PC rejects. read more

Best Plato's Closet ever! This location never disappoints! And, their offers is good as well!

To be honest I didn't really enjoy my time here. There was hardly any room to move and the employees were quite rude at check out. Hard to get anyone to open the dressing room. The employees were also talking about customers I could only imagine what they were saying about me when I walked out. Smh. I did find some good clothes though so that's why they got only 2 stars! read more

Great picks & was able to try on my pants. Bought 6 pair which I would not have done otherwise! Thanks

To buy...maybe. To sell, no way. Don't waste your time. Dimes on dollars if they even accept your stuff, which is a roll of the dice.

Nice clothes. But can't even say hello when coming in or say anything when checking you out? Customer service needs to be worked on. Atleast when it comes to bigger people because as soon as a skinny girl or cute athletic guy comes in it's "oh hey" and chatting them up read more

Don't even bother coming to this location. They are just as bad as the Atlanta location. I should have known better. They didn't even look through half my stuff and the 5 shirts they did look at they couldn't even be bothered to re fold. Waste of time and their inventory sucks read more

Love that they were all wearing mask they were very welcoming and spending $6 dollars on a skirt is so much better when the staff looks that good anyways it's a small store with a big variety of clothes to thrift . read more

Went with my bf to sell some clothes. He normally can make about $25-$50 out of one bag of clothes in one trip to similar stores. We waited an hour and a half for them to offer him $8 for two things. He declined their offer. We can just go to Rag-O-Rama and have way better luck in less than half the wait. The store was messy and the cashiers did not know how to handle multiple customers at the counter. Never returning. The mediocre clothes here aren't worth it. read more

Avoid this store and go to Lables, Rag-o-rama, Uptown Cheapskate or anywhere else. When I had a bad experience with one of their sales associates I asked for the owners email address and how to make a complaint and then they screwed me on my sales every time I brought clothes in after that. I even wore a wig so they would not recognize me and brought my clothes in the next day in the morning when they gave me very little the night before and got a lot more money. This is how I proved to myself that they were discriminating against me. When I finally met Chris the owner he lied to my face and did not tell me he was the owner when I asked for the email address to complain. Any business that takes their customers for granted is not one you should want to shop at or sell at. His employees were smirking at me when I told him that I had asked to complain in the past and then ever since on my sales. read more

They posted something on their Instagram for $10. Got them to hold it for me which was nice, but get to the store to find out that it was marked at $20. Mistakes and typos happen, sure, but to not honor is was a bit unprofessional. I sell clothes online so I've been there and marked things lower than I wanted to on accident, but I know it's better to honor it rather than look unprofessional. Not to mention, they didn't take anything of the 2 bins of items I brought in when I know at least a few of the items in there matched some of the stuff I was shopping through. Besides the item I came for a few others, most of the inventory was pretty disappointing and wouldn't have been worth the drive. read more

I've been here about 6 or 7 times before and once again,I'm happy with the purchase I made. Two very good condition jeans(Levi's $15 & Faded Glory$10) for $25+tax. read more

Plato's Closet - My view from a fitting room. - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Sandy Springs, Georgia

When I walked in, I was not greeted. When I smiled and said hello to the girl behind the counter, she acted like I was annoying her. No one offered to start a dressing room for me or even spoke to me while I was looking around. When I was checking out, i was again treated like I was annoying the girl behind the counter. The employees should really go through some kind of customer service training. I felt very uncomfortable during my entire time there. read more

I just went in to look for Summer clothes and no one greeted me when I walked in. I walked around the store for a while not one employee that walked by even said hello or if they could start me a dressing room for the items in my hand, not one word. I finally asked for a dressing room and the guy was nice but that was the only interaction I had. None of the clothes fit like I expected so I just set them on the rack right out side the dressing room. I was walking toward the door to leave and there were about 5 employees behind the counter in their own conversation, not even one looked at me. I come to Plato's a lot and this isn't the best experience I have had here at all. read more

Came to the location at 5:30pm. There were two people ahead of me with smaller baskets. I had a large bag so I anticipated it would take some time to go through my items. The saleswoman I spoke with in store told me they would call me within 45 min-1hour. An hour and 15 min go by so I decide to call in to check the status. I was advised at 6:50 that they'd be done in 15-20 min. I called back at 7:10 to see if I should come in. A new saleswoman says they haven't started my bag at all and that they'd get started in 20 more min and be done in an hour. Aggravated is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Because I waited in their parking lot for almost 2 hours because it wouldn't have made sense to drive all the way home due to distance. Improper expectations were set EVERY TIME I spoke to someone and left me with my time wasted. I see why most platos closet locations have 2 star ratings. read more

I have been coming to this location for years and this is still hands down where I shop for most of my clothes these days. This consignment store is almost like a boutique in that it carries alot of name brands for literally fractions of what the original buyer pays for it. I love the fact that for every $10 you spend you get a stamp on your platos card and when you fill it up you get 20 percent off your next purchase. People kill me complaining about how they only got a few dollars for the articles of clothing that they are trying to sell to this place because most second hand stores dont even pay you at all for things you are tying to get rid of, usually it's considered a donation. If you want to try to recover most of the money you spent in an overpriced retail store, then Ebay is a better place to go. Platos can afford to sell gently used articles of clothing such as BCBG, or Ann Taylor for $10 because they are only paying a few dollars per piece. I think it is a ridiculously genius concept for cheap-a-zoids like me who detest shopping in retail stores. They have a sign that clearly says that they don't accept plus sized clothing, so don't expect to find any here. I am about one cheeseburger away from not being able to shop here anymore... Accessories (belts, jewelry, shoes, and purses), books and DVDs sold here also. There is also a section for men. read more

They offer about $1-2 per item. They said every offer is given by their system for 1/3 of potential sale price, so I guess I can't blame anyone in there for offering me $1 for my cloth that worth more than $30 on eBay used. It's not a scam but BRANDS clearly DOESN'T matter to their "system". Very polite staff and clean store. If you're looking to buy used clothing, give it a try. You can probably find $3 clothes there. I decided to donate my items to goodwill instead. read more

My friend says she has a place where I can get super cute expensive jeans for cheap. Let's go! I've never shopped in a consignment store before so I was amazed at all the clothes. I'd have to say, the store is pretty organized. Since I was looking for the high-end jeans, they were easy to find on small racks at the front of the store. All the other stuff was grouped by type of clothing and by color on long racks all over the store. I found a great pair of jeans that fit me like only I'd worn them. (Don't worry, I washed them before I wore them.) The reason I'm taking off a coupla stars is because of the employees. This would have been a great experience if they had acted like customers were even in the store. I walked up to one of the 2 registers where 2 employees were standing. They were talking about some clothes just brought in so I wanted to be polite and wait until they were done. Big mistake. I stood there for about 5 minutes...waiting. Finally another employee walked up to the other register and started ringing up another customer. Let's just ignore the fact that I was already waiting there. It would have been nice if the first 2 girls had said something like "Someone will be right with you" and called over someone to ring me up. At least the guy who rang me up was pleasant. Plato, you're getting 3 stars for the fact that I found a pair of Citizens for Humanity jeans that fit like a glove. They have the same jeans at Nordstrom for $158. What did I pay? $18! I give the deal 5 stars but the employees only get 1. P.S. Employees...the customers are why you are employed. It wouldn't kill you to provide some customer service. Would it? read more

i love going here it's my favorite thrift store because it's relatively cheap and they have some good finds. their shoe selection is so awesome! i got these amazing air jordans for 20 dollafs read more

The second platos closet I've been to this week to sell some of my clothes. You take 4 items, one which was a $60 dress from dress up and they give me only $10. Complete waste of my time... AGAIN! Scam, scam, scam. DON'T EVER USE PLATOS CLOSET! As I edit this review again, I am a teen, young adult with perfectly good name brand items. And scam people. I stand fully confident with my overall experience at every Plato's Closet read more

My first time visiting this location I was told that they were not excepting drop offs. So, The next week when I decided to try again I called the store right before I left and they told me that they were excepting drop offs and the man on the phone explained that it needed to be in a box of some sort and explained everything. 20 minutes later I get there and I am told that if I want to try to sell clothes it's going to be a four hour wait and we have to stay in the store. Me and my friend paused because we were so confused. I was like wait so I can drop off but it's going to be 4 hours and we can't go outside or leave the store? And he said yes... first of all that makes absolutely no sense why am I being forced to no leave... also why was I not told this when I called 20 minutes later and spoke to the same exact man. What the hell am I supposed to do inside of platos closet for 4 HOURS... On top of this, we saw a guy hit a car bad and drive off like a crazy person. This has nothing to do with platos closet but idk I've sold at a lot of locations and this one is an alternate universe of a fever dream. read more

Following up on my experience here - When I dropped off my clothes, some of them were in a big Vera Bradley bag. I told them this bag was NOT included - it was just holding the clothing that didn't fit in the plastic tub. After Plato's Closet donated all the clothes I left (without calling me to give me the opportunity to pick up the ones they didn't want), I called them to inquire about the Vera Bradley bag. Can't say I was surprised to find out it was donated as well. If you're thinking about taking clothes to this Plato's Closet location, DON'T. Save yourself the trouble and take them straight to Goodwill. Nothing would please me more than to see this store go out of business. read more

Dirty store, staff was very rude and clueless. Not to mention they don't buy things of value so DO NOT bring things here.

Good: nice people. Good customer service for the most part.. But I guess that depends on who you get. Bad: didn't get what I wanted when selling my items, but good customer service led me to sell to them anyways. Conclusion: I'll be back if I need to sell items! read more

I understand now why they have so few stars. Weird music that I just couldn't get past. Rap? No clue what it was. I was in and out in a few minutes. I complained about the music and the girl behind the counter just laughed. Never again. If you care more about your comfort than your customers then I will keep my money. read more

This staff is really patient and professional with the the customers even when the customers are not patient with them. Nita is a really great associate. Very very professional and patient. I really enjoyed my visit! I will be back. read more

The clothes here are cute. But I tried to sell here and the wait was an hour. And after an hour of wandering around the store I come up and ask if they were finished going through my items. They only wanted a Coke shirt I had. And only offered me $4 for it. It was barely worn and bought at $40. I also had another bag with a lot of things in it, and they did not even go through it... They did a lousy job reviewing the clothes I brought in. And gave me back all of it. I had a very nice quality $40 shirt from Disney that I've never worn, and I'd expect them to want it. I also had a designer back my mom gave me in wonderful condition, which they completely missed. Then only after I mentioned the back did they offer me $9 for it. What a disappointment. I also had a very nice watch that they did not even seem to look at. Or open the bag that it was in. I guess I am going to try to sell my remaining items on DePop. What a waste of my day. And the service was rude. It's a shame because the clothes there are nice. I understand they cannot offer you that much in order to keep prices low. But... $9 for a $300 purse. That's a joke. read more
