Note nothing is organized by size so it can be discouraging to find a real score but then realize it's not your size. Oh well, all part of the process. As for brands I spotted some nice items from: LL Bean, EMS, Talbots, Loft, Tahari, J Jill and some Macy's brands like Inc. Lots of Old Navy, Torrid and Kohls and Walmart brands though too, so be prepared to look through a lot of stuff. Home section is small here. Very limited selection of books. Come here for the clothes. Convenient location near 155. Thought it was odd they kept advertising stuff in NYC and Jersey over the audio system, but ok. I got a nice long sleeve for 5.99.

Today I decided to join a coworker for a walk around downtown Albany. During our adventures, we…read morestumbled upon a very cute, hole-in-a-wall Thrift Shop called Vandys. Upon entry we were immediately greeted by the worker sitting behind the desk. We said our pleasantries and the fun immediately began. The shop had a nice selection of items, from men's/women's/kids clothing nick nacks to dresses for a night out. Prices ranged from $5 through $35. There was a few items that I was so tempted to buy but had to decline at the last minute. My coworker purchased several items... a few of which was brand spanking new. She was totally excited. The check out process was quick and simple. When I return, I will be the one doing the shopping. I cannot wait!

Some other stores have clothes jammed in tight on each rack - but not here. It's full but not jammed full. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. The stuff is really hit or miss. Sometimes you find great items and other times it seems to be lots of clothes that are torn or stained. Kinda just how thrifting seems to be.

I have for years donated items and money, but no more. For a charitable organization, they are too fussy as to what items they take. The brand-new toaster (gift) and brand new duffle bag could have easily been sold at the thrift store and brought money into the origanization and the money put to good use. The Salvation Army has lost their way and that's sad.

Man, listen -- I've been coming here for years and always loved it. But lately? It's been a total…read morewaste of time and money. The management is so disorganized, it's ridiculous. If you want to sell your clothes, you might as well give them away on the street -- it would be faster! They set specific days for donation drop-offs, but somehow they're never accepting donations because they don't hire enough staff -- mostly just family members and high school kids running the store. They even put up a big, dirty sign cutting off drop-off times just 45 minutes into the scheduled day. Honestly, I'm so tired of driving all the way here just to be disappointed. What used to be a dope store and great experience is now absolutely the worst. If you want to sell your stuff, go to Clifton Park instead -- their store is way better.

For starters, Plato's Closet is a terrible place to do business with lately. If I could give them…read moreno stars I would. I had to wait in a long line with my clothes today, like I was waiting in line for some grand opening or concert tickets, all because they went all week without taking clothing. Then they decided they would take clothing on Saturday morning... bad idea. You need to call before you decide to bring your clothes in to the store because they do not accept them everyday, only when the whim strikes the owner. Also, the owner keeps changing the rules, i.e. when you can bring your clothes in and what type of container you need to use. No trash bags are allowed. This store only accepts certain brands, they want mostly clothes for young people, the owner told me "think Hollister", etc. What nerve! Finally, the merchandise here is extremely overpriced. They did not take any of my clothing. I had clothes from Express and Title Nine in my container. Everything was clean and in great shape. If I sent a young person in with the clothes, they might have wanted to take them. I don't think they want to do business with older people. Long story short, I am done with Plato's Closet and most of these consignment shops in my area. My stuff will go to Goodwill because I don't like wasting my time with all this nonsense!
