Plato's Closet buys and sells brand name, gently-used clothing and accessories for teens and twenty-something boys and girls. It offers an enormous selection of designer styles and everyday basics—with some products marked down to almost 70% off of retail prices. No appointment is needed for customers bringing in clothes to sell, though the Plato employees do not necessarily take everything (decisions are based on trends and store stock) and used clothing that the store decides to purchase can be traded for its value in cash or store clothing.
