Quick answers about selling, shopping and visiting our Knoxville and Alcoa stores.

Selling

Do I need an appointment to sell?

No. Come in any time trade is open, which is until one hour before closing.

How much will you pay for my clothes?

We're known for paying the most in town. We offer the best price possible for every piece we buy, and you can take cash on the spot or more in trade credit.

Is Planet Xchange a consignment store?

No. We buy your items outright, so you get paid on the spot: cash, or more in trade credit.

What's the difference between cash and trade credit?

You can take cash on the spot or choose trade credit, which gets you more to spend in store.

How many items can I bring?

Up to 50 per trade. If you're bringing more than 35, please call ahead. For the quickest turnaround, bring your best 10 items or less to our express lane.

What condition do items need to be in?

Clean, odor-free and ready to sell. Most items should be about 3 years old or newer, unless they're timeless or vintage.

What counts as vintage?

Pieces from 2000 or earlier.

What don't you buy?

Intimates (underwear, socks, bras), worn or dirty shoes, and anything that needs cleaning or repair.

What happens to items you don't buy?

You can take them home or donate them to our sister store, Greater Goods.

Do you buy designer and luxury items?

Yes. Bring receipts or authenticity papers if you have them.
