Great steals!!!. I love the enire concept of recycling money. My friends and I love going to Platos because we know we can get a lot without spending a lot! For anyone that's unfamiliar with the Platos chain, it's a second hand store for teens. They buy and sell gently used clothes, shoes, books, cds and accessories. A lot of the clothes that come in are from higher end fashion stores in Columbus and many still have the tags attached. You rarely find a damaged item because they are extremely selective about the clothes they take in. In fact it can be insulting having them turn your clothes away because they are stretched, smell funny, have a hole hidden somewhere or aren't in style. But that also ensures that you won't end up buying junk.

The only things I can complain about is that the hours are short. The store closes way too early. They are only in Columbus locations (I have to drive 45 minutes). The employees are a bit stuck up and unfriendly, and they give you $3 for a brand new shirt and then turn around and sell it for $12.
