How Selling Clothes to Plato's Closet El Cajon Works

Cleaning out your closet should feel simple. At Plato's Closet El Cajon, you can bring in gently used clothing, shoes and accessories for us to review—no appointment needed.

Step 1: Choose What to Bring

Start with current styles that are clean and in great condition. We buy women's and men's fashion, shoes and accessories based on what our customers are shopping for and what our store needs that day.

Step 2: Bring Your Items to the Store

You don't need to make an appointment or list each item online. Bring your items in during our buying hours and check in with our team.

Step 3: We Review Your Items

Our buyers look at style, condition, demand and current inventory. Because our needs change every day, we may not be able to purchase every item—even when it is a great brand.

Step 4: Review Your Offer

We'll let you know which items we'd like to purchase and the offer for them. There is no obligation to accept.

Step 5: Get Cash on the Spot

If you accept the offer, you get paid without waiting for the clothing to resell. That's a key difference between our buy-sell-trade model and traditional consignment.

Want to Trade Instead?

If you shop the same day, ask about trading your items and receiving 15% off your entire purchase.

Tips Before You Come In

Bring items clean and ready to wear. Check for stains, holes, heavy wear and pilling. Current styles and excellent condition give your items the best chance of matching what we need.

Ready to Sell?

Gather the clothes, shoes and accessories you're ready to move on from and stop by Plato's Closet El Cajon. No appointment is needed, and you'll receive cash on the spot for the items we buy.
