Great service always!! But only the the week days!!! So odd. Today Saturday was a total bust. I love going into Plato's to sale and buy!! But today was not the normal crew and wow is all I can say. I definitely will never ever go on a weekend ik that much. Shout out to the weekday crew!!! They definitely know fashion and what it's worth!!! Not so much with today's crew very blah and passive. Totally off on recent records on clothing and pricing as well as I don't even see a lot of the clothes of mine on the receipt that you directly have to ask for now. Yeah love this store amazing but I'll stick to the weekday girls forever. It's impossible to actually go through all your clothes to see what's in your totes so you don't even find out until you actually get home such I'm from out of town so it's not a trip down the road. Then to see wow everything amazing is gone yet it didn't add up in several areas. Again only weekdays for me from now on. read more

They seem to always have a good collection of men's T-shirts, pants shirts, and they are arranged very well by size.

Pricey than it should be, very crammed together and racks are too close together. It didn't smell

The advisement was good and staff was nice got a couple things not much but nice clothes

Every time i go in to this store, i am not greeted. Constantly cussing very loudly, talking inappropriately about the management. the dressing rooms are closed at 6:30 when they close at 9:00. In general just not good customer service all around. Great store for the clothes though, need new employees. read more

Very busy store. Lots to shop from, I mean this place was packed with merchandise. They had hunter boots, Jordan's, coach bags, etc. I picked up 2 coach bags. I guess each Plato system has its own rewards programs. Also be aware that there is a smell. Remember they are packing used clothes into this place so it's not a big shock. Staff was all friendly though. read more

I want to love this place. There is a huge selection to choose from. My daughter's love for me to take them here so I frequent this place often. The customer service is HORRIBLE! Not okay not even acceptable but HORRIBLE. They look directly at you when you come in but won't greet you. My daughter has experienced this with and without me. They have terrible looks on their faces when you ask questions. My daughter's best friend used to work here and I wish she still did because at least you could get the basic decency. I heard there was a racist manager, but I didn't want to go off of rumors. A lot of this stuff is overpriced especially for the condition. I keep telling my daughters don't spend your hard earned money where they treat you bad but they love the deals they do find so I will probably be back, reluctantly. read more

I would give 4.5 stars if I could, but 4 will have to do. For Champaign, this is about as good as it gets for name-brand casual wear for ages 25 and under. This is really the only place I shop for clothing in the area because I am always too disappointed with the selection (or lack thereof) at the mall. At least at Plato's, I am always thrilled with the low price even if I'm not always thrilled with the selection. The men's section is small, comparatively, but it's worth snooping through every now and then to find something good. As for selling used items to them, they are very selective on what they will take. I'm not sure what sort of algorithm they use, but I have tried to sell my good-condition, expensive brands, like Zara, but they seem to be inconsistent in their decisions. I usually stick to buying over selling. read more

I recently moved to Champaign from Chicago, which happens to be a big thrifting town; as an expensive place to live, it is thankfully and inexpensive place to get dressed. While Central Illinois has not revealed all of its thrifting potentials to me yet, my first (and usually last) stop for a wardrobe update is Plato's Closet. As a resale shop, Plato's goes through a lot of volume and there is always something new. All of their stuff is clean, high-quality and youthful. They are particularly geared to the 25-34 age bracket with good everyday, occasion and professional wear. This location really benefits from the college-town setting with people at all levels of professionalism, and I happen to have particularly good luck finding dresses, blazers and cardigans. They have a wide variety of dress pants, dresses, jeans, bags, shoes, basics and coats depending on the season. They have descent trade-in options: they pay in cash but usually the in-store credit is a better deal. The frequent buyer/seller card doesn't hurt either. For example, tops and blouses usually cost $6 and dresses typically run $8-15. Things are tightly packed in the store, but well organized which helps to keep you on the hunt. If don't find what you want, in helps that TJ Maxx is right next door. I highly recommend this place for the graduate student on the budget as a good way to look up-to-date and professional without having to cave to mall retail prices. read more

I was super excited about coming here b/c I loved my old Plato's Closet in Plano where I found TONS of awesome deals on usually pretty high priced clothes. This place is really only a good deal if you are REALLY into Abercrombie and Hollister, other than that, the store is fairly limited in the brands it sells :( Maybe if it were slightly bigger it could carry more... read more

this is place is just horrible. they tried to buy my $380 coach hand purse for $3 dollars ????? are you fudging serious?! the whole store smell so bad, and the second hand clothes they well are way too expensive! DONT SELL THEM YOUR CLOTHES PEOPLE, it's just not worth the trip. read more

Nothing was torn or stained, but a lot of the clothes looked worn and a little faded. And yeah, I get that Plato's Closet sells clothes that HAVE been worn, but they're not supposed to LOOK it. I'm kind of surprised by the previous reviewer who stated that the clothes are geared toward the 25-34 age bracket. Um, were we in the same Plato's Closet?? Most of the stuff looked pretty cheap and teenybopperish to me. I can see going here if you're looking for something disposable for going out on campus, but definitely not to build a professional wardrobe. read more

Sorry, they didn't want to buy my son's uniform pants and I had at least one pair of jeans that I thought were nicer than what they had on the floor. Too many mall brand names that are just in bad taste. I found a good navy p coat though for next to nothin though. So, I will not give up on them just yet. read more

The stuff isn't that great anymore. Overpriced. You can go on eBay and buy it cheaper. Also on Amazon. They also sell a lot of discontinued and overstock new stuff. I went to get my kids some clothes here and found out I could buy it cheaper online. Meh. read more

I've had good luck selling stuff here, but none when it comes to buying things. I just feel like everything here is either tacky, terribly made, or just an old trend. I definitely have better luck at TJ Maxx for sure. read more

I'll be honest with you. I used to hate Plato's Closet. Lately though things have changed. I almost always find something great. For instance I just got an awesome and unique but still not so out there that you can wear it dress for a wedding that got me tons of compliments. New employees? I don't know but I'm pleased. My criticism is that this Plato's Closet is like digging for a needle in a haystack. It takes soooo much effort to find anything. It's shoved in average and sub par items that are currently 'in style', a.k.a. what everyone's wearing from the mall. Overall though Plato's isn't a bad place. I disagree with the person that said it's only "Abercrombie and Hollister." That's simply not true. I've seen plenty of great brands and unique pieces. If you're willing to dig there's some great stuff here. read more
