How do I sell to Plato's Closet Cary?
Bring your items to the store in a container such as a plastic bin, tote bag, or trash bag. Have your photo ID and phone with you for check-in. We'll provide you an estimated time (same day or next day) for you to return. Once we finish processing your items, you'll receive a text from us letting you know to return to the store. We'll then provide you with a cash offer for any items we would like to purchase. You may accept or decline the offer as a whole or for individual items. Any items we do not buy will be returned to you.
How long is the wait time for you to process my items?
Your wait time is typically 1-3 hours, but it can vary depending on how many items you bring and how many people have already checked in.
How do you determine what my cash offer will be?
First, we sort through all of your items and decide which ones we want to buy based on style, condition, and inventory needs. Then, we enter information about those items into a computer which determines our store prices and generates your cash offer. We typically price items at 50-70% off regular retail and you receive 30-40% of our store price. This means you will receive around 10-20% of the regular retail price for an item. Along with covering the expenses of running a retail store, our margin is what pays our employees to sort through your items and provide cash on the spot.
