As all of you have said, i believe plato's closet is a scam. A few weeks ago, my mom and I went to one in Maumee before a graduation party. I had a box full of "gently used" clothes that we took there in exchange for money. When we first arrived, the store looked very nice on the inside, neat and clean. The service people, however, had annoyed looks and tones of voice, which was a big turn off. She told me though that she should be done in about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, my mom, my aunt, and I walked throughtout the store, looking at everything. I have been at plato's closet to shop, but never donated. The last store I went to was in Toledo, and I bought a nice winter coat there for around $15 with nothing wrong with it. At this store, a lot of the clothing had snags and rips and looked faded and outdated (especially the shoes !) They had some nice things, but a lot of it should have been taken of the racks. When my mom told me that everything had been checked through, the whole box was practically full ! The ONLY things they took were two pairs of jeans from Wetseal that had the price tags still attached. I had a lot of items in there that were only worn once or twice, and were "in-season".( I also think the whole "in-season" line is bullshit.) Better yet, the cashier only gave me $8 and some change ! For NEW JEANS ! I was not too happy when I walked out of there. I do not plan "selling" o(r whatever they want to call it.) my clothes there again. More than likely I won't shop there either.
