Closet Cleanout Guide: What to Bring to Plato's Closet El Cajon

A closet cleanout is much easier when you know what to look for before you start. If you're planning to sell to Plato's Closet El Cajon, use this guide to sort your clothes, shoes and accessories before you come in.

Start With What You No Longer Wear

Pull out pieces you haven't reached for, items that no longer fit your style and duplicates you don't need. Focus on current fashion that another teen or young-adult shopper would be excited to find.

Check Every Item's Condition

Look closely for stains, holes, strong odors, excessive fading, pilling and heavy wear. Items should be clean and ready to wear. A quick condition check before you leave home can make your selling trip smoother.

Include More Than Clothing

Don't forget shoes, sneakers, handbags, purses and accessories. We consider a range of categories based on what the store currently needs.

Bring All Seasons

You don't have to wait for a particular season to clean out your closet. Plato's Closet El Cajon buys all seasons throughout the year, although specific inventory needs change daily.

Don't Assume Brand Name Means Automatic Buy

Popular brands can be a good fit for our customers, but every item is evaluated individually. Style, condition, demand and our current inventory all influence what we're able to purchase.

No Appointment Needed

Once your cleanout is ready, bring it to Plato's Closet El Cajon during buying hours. Our team will review your items and make an offer for what we'd like to purchase. Accept the offer and get cash on the spot.

Make Your Closet Work for You

If you're shopping the same day, ask about trading and receiving 15% off your entire purchase. You can clear space at home and find new-to-you pieces in one trip.
