What was supposed to be a quick stop for my daughter turned into an unexpected family shopping adventure. My daughter wanted to browse for something cute for herself, so we stopped into Plato's Closet about 30 minutes before closing. I was a little worried we'd be rushing, but the atmosphere was still fun and relaxed despite shoppers trying to squeeze in a few last-minute treasures before the store closed. The best part was watching the shopping bug spread through the family. My daughter started browsing, then the other kids decided they wanted something too. Suddenly everyone was searching racks, comparing deals, and showing each other what they found. Lol. I wasn't even planning to shop, but I ended up finding a pair of Calvin Klein work slacks for The Mr. for $18; I couldn't pass on a deal like that. That's one of the things I love about stores like Plato's Closet--you never know what you're going to find, and sometimes the best deal is the one you weren't looking for. Years ago, when my oldest son was a baby, he grew so quickly that I regularly sold his outgrown clothes to Plato's Closet. Walking through the store now and watching that same child use his own money to buy clothes for himself was really special. The staff deserve a shoutout as well. Even though it was close to closing time and they were clearly working on end-of-night tasks, everyone we spoke with was friendly, patient, and welcoming. The cashier was especially kind while helping the kids check out their purchases, which I appreciated. We came in looking for one item and left with several happy shoppers. That's usually a sign of a successful trip. We'll definitely be back for another treasure hunt soon. read more

10/10 service they're so friendly! They have great prices! Also they have a huge selection! Looking forward to coming back!

Don't take your clothes here! They always want to rip you off. I show up with multiple bags inside the store, they accept maybe one to five of those items. They're picky, selective, even on designer or name brand. Which makes no sense because the clothes are in great condition with no stains or anything. Wish they would tell you exactly what they're looking for before goy lug clothes of lbs on your back like Santa only for them to reject like 98% of it. Plus, with what they take from you, they give you less than a $1. Take a target swimsuit top from last year with nothing wrong with it. The lady said she'll give 80 cents for it. I bought it for $27, tag on it. What's wrong with the pricing system? Seems awfully NOT fair. This hasn't been a one time occurrence, they often scam and make me lug in bags and bags full only to be sent with them back in my bags and back into my car. read more

Disappointing to say the least. I brought a huge bin of nike and lululemon assuming they would take it for cheaper because they do usually rip you off but I asked to see what they were taking and for how much. Brand new nike hoodie they were going to give me 2.50 but it had a stick note with Gracie's name on it which is an employee. They did this on multiple items. Apparently their workers are broke and are ripping everyone off read more

I am very disappointed about the amount of money that they offered for brand new items-Two pairs of Vince Camuto sandals that cost at least 60.00 each from Nordstroms, gently used faux leather blazer. A faux leather INC purse with matching wallet from Macys cost 60.00 last summer was only valued for 25.00 for a total of 5 items . Big rip off !!!!! They could have offered 30.00 for brand new sandals, 15.00 for the blazer and 20.00 for the purse and matching wallet . I will not recommend them to anyone! My friend did me an injustice by suggesting this business to me! read more

Gavin was very nice. He helped me get checked out and get a fitting room. There was a wide selection of clothes to pick from. Value of the clothes that I picked was good. read more

They scam younger people!! I came in there less than a month ago to sell Dr Martins that were only worn for 3 hours. They were going to give me $30. Which I thought was extremely low. So I took them back. My daughter just went up there wanting to sell clothing before going to college & had lightly used hollister and America eagle. (Only took 4 items) had her bring up the Dr Martins again & they only would offered $18. Which my daughter decline I called to ask why & the person that answered was very rude and kept calling me honey. I'm 50 years old. Very rude and a scam! read more

Value the $1 sale 22.50 for all this today lots of denim swimsuits tops got my daughter tons of vintage baggy jeans my sons favorite pants too read more

Plato's Closet - The 1.00 sale is insane right now 22.50 for all this !!! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Utica, Michigan

All the clothing is way too overpriced. Their mens section is outdated and they will take your name brand clothing and give you pennie's on the dollar for them if you're lucky. I recommend the saint claire shores location or any other one for that matter. read more

I had a wonderful time for their Black Friday event!! All the workers were dedicated and wonderful!! The social media is also amazing:) selection and price was very reasonable, recommend!! read more

I was shocked when they told me my clothes were old. Excuse me? They weren't old and they were all branded too!! The employees are very rude. #Neveragain read more

Everyone is so quick to write bad review and I'm shocked because I just had the best Plato's Closet experience ever. They had so much authentic and nice lululemon and Nike and all other brands priced super affordable. My jaw dropped at the $25 lululemon crew neck that was in good condition Mary, the sweet girl at the front, and I talked about how other consignments stores sell fake lululemon and other brands. She verified that they verify all their designer brands and helped give me peace of mind. Mary was awesome the whole time actually. read more

This place Discriminates ! Reading bad reviews and still gave it a chance... So many of my foreign friends tell me the same story and the worst part of it all is, they have nothing but garbage in here and the workers don't know what the hell they are doing. I gave them $3000 worth of clothes name brand too not knowing if they stole anything but definitely didn't accept one item of mine. I am definitely contacting the headquarters. Something will be done. read more

Went to this location with my boyfriend. He had two bags of clothes to give with nice brands. For example, Lululemon, Levi's, Tommy, Calvin Klein. We waited for two hours, while they sorted through the bags. This was the first time he sold clothes but I sold clothes multiple times before. I went through his bag and saw the nice things that he had. When the clothes were ready to be picked up, they bought nothing. I have never had that experience at Plato's closet before and I have sold to them at least 20 times never before at this location if you're going to go through a customers bag for two hours the minimum you could do is buy two things. The store was disorganized overall. read more

I was certain I wrote a review the last time I came here. They habe a large selection of new or lightly used clothing and shoes. They sell a lot of name brand active wear, jeans, shirts, sweaters/sweatshirts, cardigans, etc. they purchase them as well if they are in good shape and in style. Sometimes they only look for certain items in season. Today they had 90% off yellow tag, and I got a shirt for $0.40. I got two other shirts after for $1.25. One was J crew and super new! A lot of their items are really new or barely worn. The ladies working at the counter were super sweet and helpful. They tell you the time it may take to check items you want to sell. They take some jewelry, even lotions and makeup unused. Great way to make extra cash on items you have not used or do not need. Anything they do not need, I just donated. read more

spoke to olivia over the phone, despite her brief time working, a total of 4 months so far, she was very helpful. She answered my questions to her upmost ability in a polite, quick, and consistent manner. She has shown her ability to go above and beyond for your average any day customers and i couldn't be more grateful. I can say with my full heart that she has made me a customer for life and i will be spending many paychecks here in the future. read more

NEVER SELL STUFF HERE. I was told it would take one hour for them to go through my bag. I sat in the parking lot for TWO hours then walked back inside and they told me another hour. So then I drove home. Then they texted me at 7:57 that I had to come back and get my stuff before 8:00! Literally only gave me THREE MINUTES so I didn't make it back in time and they kept all my stuff and my money! Ridiculous!!!! read more

Plato's Closet - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Utica, Michigan

This store recently publicized that they're under new ownership, and it's definitely gone downhill since changing owners. Their selling process is extremely disorganized. Previously, they scheduled selling by appointment which was so much more convenient and organized. I brought clothes in to sell today and was told it wouldn't take too long. After waiting 45 minutes, they even hadn't started going through the clothes. Nearly, two hours later I received a text they were finished. When I returned, they had not purchased anything. This wouldn't have been an issue if I was able to have a scheduled time slot, but it was a HUGE waste of time and gas having to come back. Also, while I waited I browse the clothing, and the store is literally full of DIRTY, worn out clothes..I've definitely seen better at the thrift store. I've shopped here in the past when it was under the previous owners, but definitely won't be back now that it's gone so downhill. I would definitely suggest the other Plato's in the area both for buying and selling. Oh and just a FYI, they're not purchasing any dresses, rompers, or summer clothes because they're overstocked read more

I came here because of a recommendation from a freind and the service was great! I found many clothes that I was looking for. Alaina, Chelsea and Megan all helped me find what I need and even though they were busy, instead of being rude and sounding annoyed like most would, they all took there time to help me and were super nice! Defently recommend this place if your looking for great clothes at great prices. read more

The employees here really do value their customers and give their best at helping anybody at any of their needs

Absolutely a 5 I found these adorable jeans and they actually fit. I've always struggled in finding things that fit. But these are amazing and super cool. I also got a sweater and a tank top. All for 26 dollars it was amazing. read more

Great place to find quality clothing. They are fair with their prices and pay a decent fee to sellers also.

Never take any of my clothes. And I have good quality name brand stuff. Some of the young girls who work here are very rude.

Every time I try to sell items they change what they are looking for. It's frustrating because they take certain items one time and then the next they don't. What a waste of time. read more

I asked if they were taking any new clothing right now. They said yes so I brought multiple trash bags in to see what they would accept. I wait for 15 minutes for them to tell me they're not accepting anything. Take it I had gymshark leggings barely worn, prom dresses, athletic shorts. Trust the reviews! Don't go to this Plato's Closet, they're very disorganized. read more

This place does get a lot of shade and bad reviews, but I go there a lot after I workout just to see if they have any good shoes in stock, it's always a great experience there, one time they did sell me replica Jordan's though, they were unaware and I understood what happened, but they did give me a refund, great staff great environment read more

The store was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful with any and all questions I had, they were able to go through my clothing items in a reasonable time and gave me a fair deal for the items they wanted to keep. I would 10/10 come again and would recommend to anyone buying or selling clothes! read more

Do not waste your time. They don't look through your clothes, they just pass on everything to save time, even when the clothing is in style and in decent condition. They denied a Coach purse! They also never sent me a text stating the items were done. The person told me 30-45 minute wait, after waiting and not receiving a text, I went home. I continued to check the link, it still said "Queued," and it was getting late so I called, they said it was completed 2 hours ago. When I got there they passed on everything. Save your gas money, don't go here, you are better off selling your items on Facebook marketplace or just donating it. Next time I will try a different location if there is a next time. read more

I keep giving this store a chance .. every time , something is wrong with the clothes after I get home , the lighting is so poor in there everything looks fine but when you get home you notice things.. oil spots , very highly scented perfumes on the clothes , missing buttons , broken zippers , missing straps , the list goes on and on. triple check everything before going cashing out because a lot of their items are not refundable . read more

Very disappointed and mislead. I'm not typing all over again what I just typed for google reviews .. but if your interested .. that's where to find it. Drove in hour out after I made several phone calls to verify what they accept.. got there to find a sign on the door that they are overstocked and accepting limited things. Apparently their website is out of date because they DO not accept everything it says on their site like bras and other things. I'll never go there again. read more

The absolute worst store I've ever been to. The workers are dumb, they have no common sense. Do not recommend. I took back clothes and they said to come back when I revive a text message and if I receive it that same day to come that day or the next morning. I received this text message ten minutes before they close (I live thirty minutes away) so I came to get the money and clothes they didn't want the next morning. They told me since I didn't come the same day I could only receive in store credit, keep in mind they did not tell me this when I brought the clothes in. read more

The worst reselling place I have ever been into .The workers extremely rude . Took items twice there and they were all rejected with the excuse they were old while the whole store is literally full of old and used clothes. The second time one of the ladies told me after literally 45' of waiting that they couldn't take my items due to overstock. Why do even accept to look at them in the first place?? Will never walk in there again read more

This was the most awful platos closet that i have ever tried to sell to. They told me it would be 2.5 hours for them to sort my clothes. No biggie, ill come back. 5 hours later they tell me its still not done??? When 2 hours ago they told me there were only 7 people ahead of me? How can you not go through 7 bins in 2 hours. Disrespectful of others time waiting around. Will never sell here again. read more

I went in with my daughters so they could sell their clothes, as well as picked out a few things to purchase. Cashier made an honest mistake, tried to find someone to correct it, after speaking with the mgr, she wouldn't fix the error. The poor cashier looked almost in tears. I asked for the mgr, who then came out and told me since the transaction was already rang up, there was nothing she could do. I then asked for her managers name and number, which she told me to look up the number online since I made the comment that their receipt was garbage because you couldn't read it. not once was I rude with the employees, again, HONEST error, and the mgr said she would appreciate me not being rude. The mgr Keely, or however it's spelled, you need to learn to "not" be rude to customers who aren't rude, and shop in your store. Sorry you were not willing to fix YOUR employees error. read more

Bought a sweater. Take it home. Look to put it on and the security tag is still on. I take it back and they refuse. Hannah said, "uh no, no receipt and no removal" and then dismissed me. Too busy talking about asking for a raise with her coworker and complaining about how much she works and how unfair it is. Hope you get that raise Hannah, I'll be sure to let people know not to visit this Plato's Closet. read more

If I could give them less than one star I would this place is a complete joke! I go in there to give them my clothes to see if they can buy anything of my stuff so they told me it'll take about 45 minutes I said no problem I walk around the store I buy two things I walk out go to my car and then I'm decided you know what I still have another 30 minutes till they check everything I'm gonna go get some food and as soon as I start my car I get a text message saying that they went through everything. Which is impossible because I had a tub and then a huge bag I walk in the store my stuff is in the exact same spot that they told me to leave it. Telling me that there's rips and holes in them. A lie because half of my stuff I gave them still had tags on them were never worn and they have the audacity to try selling stuff that has bleach stains on it and ripped clothing, they are a complete joke! read more

this place is terrible. they charge high prices for items that look like garbage . And for the good quality items they low-ball you . please stay far away from this place if you are interested in selling them anything of good quality because you won't get your money's worth . the employees are rude . I've never had a positive interaction at this store whatsoever. please find another place to do business. read more

Rude staff!! 0/10 When i got there there was a fold up sign out front saying that they're accepting and when i finally got the door open holding my 2 boxes the staff standing right next to the door said we aren't accepting anything. Not a big deal it was just the vibe she gave made me not want to go back. read more

I used to love coming here. I came in here the other day, and noticed they revamped the store which is amazing! However, it would help if the staff was actually friendly or helpful. They seemed too focused on their personal life conversations. They also seem to have not changed a single clothing item at least it is what it seemed like to me. Everything was out dated and it seemed like I've seen everything in there before, but nonetheless, they definitely need to teach their staff to be a lot friendlier and actually greet the people that walk into the store. read more

Store is ran by young adults so they do a minimal job assisting customers and keeping things together, has some nice clothes at a fair price
