College can be a huge bully to your wallet. From tuition to groceries, there never seems to be enough extra cash to buy a cute new outfit for game day or a night on the town. One of my biggest secrets to always having a cute outfit when needed? Plato's Closet!
Plato's closet buys and sells gently used clothing for teens and young adults. Yes, they buy your old, gently used clothes from you! I do this all the time to help get some extra money in my wallet. I have even made over $100 before by just selling the clothes that I no longer wear! As long as the items you're trying to sell are gently used and bought a year and a half ago or sooner, then you're going to make some cash off of it! Not bad for clothes that were just hanging in your closet and not being worn anyway!
Since Plato's only buys gently used clothes, it looks like all the clothes in the store are practically new! Most of the clothes look like they've never even been worn before. But because they're secondhand clothes, the prices are very affordable! It's like thrift store prices without the thrift store quality.
Plato's mostly buys all brand name items, so you're bound to find brands that you usually buy for full price in a department store. Micheal Kors, Juicy Couture, American Eagle, Forever 21, True Religion, Coach and Abercrombie & Fitch are only a few of the brands that you will spot in Plato's closet on a daily basis.
Plato's doesn't just sell clothes. You can also buy shoes, purses, backpacks, jewelry, laptop cases, bathing suits, watches, wallets and even perfumes too! Just like the clothing, it's mostly all name brand!
When I'm home in Daytona Beach, I love to stop by Plato's closet to see what they have in store. Luckily, I can do the same in Gainesville at their local Plato's Closet location. With over 100 stores nationwide, you're sure to fine a location that's convenient for you.
Your wallet may suffer during college, but your outfits shouldn't have to. Whether you're looking for a cute, new outfit that fits your budget or wanting to make a little extra cash, Plato's Closet is the best piece of advice I can give you! It's great to know that a store out there not only helps you fill your closet on a budget, but also helps you clean it out!
