Used, Vintage & Consignment near West Babylon, NY

“This is a well stocked store with two floors of merchandise. The staff is friendly. Most of the items are in excellent condition and the store is kept fairly orderly.”

“Today was my first visit into this store to see if they were interested in buying something my mom wanted to sell. The girl who helped us let us know we can always shoot them a text with the picture so we don’t have to bring the stuff in each time which was really helpful! I loved looking around this store! I could have spent hours in here. It’s so beautiful inside! A great place to shop especially if you need to get someone a unique gift. Everyone here today was very sweet & I look forward to coming back 🙂”

“Came here for the first time with my friend. We absolutely LOVED being there. Betty Ann was super friendly! Lots of awesome things to look at, with no pressure to purchase anything. We will be back!!!”

“I came looking for skates. As a woman getting up there in age, I only skate recreationally a couple of times a year, and had no idea which type of skate to get. The sales person was extremely helpful and patient, advising me on sizing, styles, fit etc., and letting me try on multiple pairs before finding EXACTLY what I needed -- a used pair of women's figure skates, in great condition, and a very comfortable fit. Oh, and for a great price, too!
I highly recommend this place!”

“This place is great, I have two kids, so having the opportunity to sell their gently worn clothes and toys is a relief. The staff were so helpful with explaining the buy back process. Getting something is better than nothing, as well as getting cash the same day. I will definitely be coming back to shop for my kids since they have a great selection of clothes.”

“I wanted to leave an honest review because I’ve had mixed feelings about this location over time. There was an employee named Amber who used to work here that made racist comments and was rude to customers, which honestly made me hesitant about returning. However, I do appreciate that the situation was taken seriously and that she was ultimately fired because of her behavior. It made me feel better knowing accountability was taken seriously.

Since then, I’ve also noticed changes in management. While I’m happy with the outcome regarding that situation, I personally preferred the previous management style. The former manager seemed to have a stronger handle on the store overall and created a better atmosphere. With the newer management, I’ve sometimes gotten the impression that interactions with employees can come across as unfair or a bit cocky at times, which affects the environment of the store.

That being said, I’ve also learned more about how Plato’s Closet works as a business. A lot of people come in expecting to sell everything, but it’s important to remember that this is a resale store with limited inventory space, especially since it’s one of the only Plato’s Closet locations on Long Island. They can only take what fits their current inventory needs, trends, and season.

I also learned pretty quickly that when you sell clothes to any resale business, the payout is usually going to feel low compared to what you originally paid or what you think the item is worth. That’s simply how buy-and-resell businesses operate because they still need room to profit when they resell the items. If you want full value for your clothes, selling independently on apps like Depop, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace may be the better option — but that also usually takes more time, effort, and patience.

Overall, while I’ve had concerns in the past and still have some opinions about the current management approach, I can appreciate that improvements were made in certain areas, and I think it’s important for people to understand how the resale process works before going in.”
