You can probably make a lot more money selling your clothes online on reselling platforms like Poshmark, eBay, and Mercari.

Of course!!!

Love you Becky. Great video.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

Love you more ❤️❤️❤️

@Black_Benz2023 Месяц назад

It's still work and gas and time to take stuff to Platos and get pennies. Often they sell Walmart brands but don't take Aritzia. In most cases, my time is worth more. IMO, it's better to donate to a womens shelter etc.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

Yes!!! Donating to a local women’s shelter is a great idea too. But you’re right-they’re just not consistent in what they take, and it does take time and effort to get to Plato’s.

@jenifferjohnson9270 Месяц назад

Thanks, I wish I was warned like this about the Real Real!

@dorothynutter2201 Месяц назад

I love selling to Plato’s I go to the bins and take lower cost items that wouldn’t resell online I make between $200-$300 every time

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

that’s AMAZING, and the exact model I think works when it comes to selling to Plato’s. I wish I had a bins near me so I can do just that.

@sarkaha3679 Месяц назад

Not in Sarasota , very picky , never made more than $20

@jenniferpell3852 26 дней назад

Hi Becky~ I’ve been following you and some others ( mostly you, I think we live near each other based on somethings you’ve said) Here it goes I lost my husband to Glioblastoma Brain Cancer recently. During the time I was a caregiver and after his death I used shopping as a comfort I guess. We didn’t have life insurance and are running out of money. I have a teenage daughter. I have several autoimmune diseases that I am exhausted and don’t feel great for a full time job anymore. Yet I have close packing every closet and a room that’s my closet. It’s starting to get too hard to get dressed because there is so much. Lots from online boutiques Red dress, shop the mint, Lula’s etc. I want to start Poshmark or eBay but I don’t know how to start. I’ve watched your videos and I’m sure I’m making more of a big deal than it is. I’m just scared but we desperately need the money. Most items even have tags on them. I don’t know why shopping for nice things I’ll never wear comforted me during that time but it did. Where do you recommend starting? And how many items to list at first? I have watched your videos and you touch on a lot of great information. For someone who doesn’t know what to price things at and what’s popular online ( not just my taste) what do you recommend. I need to start this asap. I have one whole bedroom full of dresses and items, a walk in closet in my room and another full closet full of coats and everything in between that I’ll never where. I’m overwhelmed please help. Thank you. Jennifer

@beckyparkco 26 дней назад

@@jenniferpell3852 dearest Jennifer. First of all, thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story with me. Please know that I am praying for you and your family as you heal. In regards to what you should do with all the clothing in your home, it really depends. Like I mentioned in this video, reselling is a good amount of work. It would be far easier and faster for you to take your clothes to Plato’s or even a local consignment store and get a payout right away. Are you leaving money on the table? Certainly. But it just depends on what you can handle right now. I would personally recommend a combo of the two. Bring the lower end items to platos closet or clothes mentor, whatever you have near you, and everything else you can try to list online. Everything is so slow when you first start out, but work through the discouragement of how long everything is taking knowing that you’re only going to get better. Start with the first thing you see. Snap some pictures of it, allow yourself two minutes to look at comps, and just get it listed. Sure, the first few things you might list for too much or too little. But you’ll learn. Don’t get bogged down by the details. Just do it and grow the muscles of reselling, and you’ll get better and faster. The best thing is, you already have all this inventory in your house, so now you just gotta get to work. I believe in you and am rooting for you. Please reach out if you ever need anything or have any questions.

If they are paying you upfront its not consignment its resale. Completely different and something to consider when selling because they are paying you up front for your items that aren’t even guaranteed to sell whereas a consignment shop you have to wait for your items to sell etc.

@marinahuizar6067 Месяц назад

i can't be bothered to list items that are only going to sell for $15-25 i specificaly source those type of items at bins for a quick doubling or triple of my money at Platos, and call it a day. I only expend energy listing items that will sell for at least $45. my ASP is $68, i have sweet sourcing here on Oahu

@osterhoudtzoo Месяц назад

Nice explanation Becky. We had 3 big bins of shoes & clothes that were out of our personal closet & not worth listing. We brought them to Plato's Closet here in Gilbert, AZ, only for them to not take a one single item. I noticed while in there that I was much older than the staff or clientele so it shouldn't have been surprising, but that is all I needed to know. I'll list for cheap on Mercari or FBMP, but most likely I will donate & move on. :) Thanks again for these videos & sharing your knowledge. I watch/listen when photographing. Happy selling & singing...Paula

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing your experience! Sometimes I wonder if they take more of you being less. I’ve also tried bringing back things they didn’t take the first time to great success. Just some thoughts!

@MELANIEONEAL Месяц назад

I have experienced the same thing at my Plato's Closet in South Carolina. I guess they assume the clothes I bring in are mine. They always comment the reason they aren't taking them is because they are "mature brands". Since when are Jessica Simpson, American Eagle, Lucky Brand, Disney, Francesca's, etc. mature brands???? Ugh!

@crazzylizlol Месяц назад

I use a quick payback method. I source for .25 cents to 1.00 take the mall brands to them for a quick flip I get at least enough to pay for everything I sourced that week and then I sell what they didn’t take and the higher tier items. It has definitely helped me be able to source more as a new reseller. But they are becomings pickier so I do see how this won’t work all the time or for everyone.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

Ohhhh I love that. I wish I had access to much cheaper mall brands (like with a bins location nearby) to do this.

@bbpocketbook4018 Месяц назад

Every time I go they take like 2-3 things and I get like $15. It’s such a waste of time! It looks like from the comments though, other people have better luck. Maybe it’s my location that’s just terrible!

@JK-mv1tv Месяц назад

I worked for Style Encore which is a sister store to Plato’s, and I only try to sell my stale inventory there. You get cents on the dollar … it’s disgusting! Also their pricing is literally from a computer system … the pricing is more of a corporate thing. We couldn’t specialty price anything.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

Exactly this. Again, some things are worth selling to Plato’s and style encore. But anything of value? Don’t do it!

@odettethompson6221 Месяц назад

After several trips returning with virtually everything I took to them, and getting virtually nothing for what they did keep, I am no longer taking my clothes there. They are looking for specific styles, and those change according to season or trends.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

Absolutely. There are like, pamphlets with that info, but yes-it’s just not super consistent.

@kitten83able Месяц назад

I just love your videos and I am typically a lurker. I bought 2 NWT Retrofete dresses PAID $12/each (not on sale). Could you imagine getting $3 for a NWT Retrofete dress???

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

You absolutely scored, and that person who sold them those dresses absolutely made the wrong decision in regards to where they sold their dresses 😩

@VoidedMirror Месяц назад

We have a similar chain here called Uptown Cheapskate that's a little more lenient with what they take in.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

I still have yet to go to an uptown cheapskate!!!

@VoidedMirror Месяц назад

@@beckyparkco It's a nice experience. Stores are much more open and bright. I find Plato's store layout so cramped and claustrophobic.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

@@VoidedMirror SO CRAMPED. it’s so hard to shop.

@gomezniccole Месяц назад

The bins is FULL of people that are buying things and selling them at Plato’s closet & buffalo exchange. It’s so wild that people are turning a quick buck instead of putting them on eBay or Poshmark.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

For sure. But some things from the bins really aren’t worth selling online, so I get that business model too.

@brat7776 Месяц назад

I got $114 for 35 items. I've never gotten less than $60. I take in stuff that I don't plan to sell on eBay from Thred Up or the Bins. My cost of goods is $1 or less. I use Platos Closet to move overstock & old inventory. Whatever they don't take, I put in a yardsale, then donate.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

Nice! I’m glad you’ve figured out a system that works for you! It is a nice last ditch place to take things before donating them for sure.

@nawluck Месяц назад

Do they gove you cash or a check?

@Shannon-mh6kv Месяц назад

Plato’s gives you cash or store credit.

@brynessataylor1909 Месяц назад

Plates is terrible to sell to. I've taken 20 items there and they gave me $33! It was a joke. Terrible Terrible pay.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

That’s better than what I’ve received at times hahhaa

@brynessataylor1909 Месяц назад

I live just outside of Tacoma Washington and unfortunately our local Platos is located 3 BLOCKS from the Tacoma Goodwill Bins.... this is problematic to say the least. Ppl are standing in line to "sell" items they thrifted minutes before down the street. I went a cpl times to try them out after seeing resellers in other locations do this and do well... and I learned....never again. Tacoma platos needs to change EVERYTHING they do. Prices are crazy high on items and they don't payout 30-40%... more like 5%...maybe.

@beckyparkco Месяц назад

@@brynessataylor1909 omgggg that’s crazy, also because I think I literally did that once when I went to Seattle LOLLOL. Pretty sure it was in Tacoma haha
