Used, Vintage & Consignment near Hampton Falls, NH

“Route 1 Antiques is not to be missed! We’ve been back a few times since our initial visited and we always discover something new. Three floors packed with everything you can think of and some stuff you couldn’t dream up if you tried. They’ve got glass case items on the main floor and an area of antique clothing and lace.In the basement there is a huge selection of glassware and porcelain as well as art and furniture pieces. In the attic at one end you can find professionally made bow ties. At the other end at the top floor you can find toys, comics, Trek Model Kits and an array of military items.I myself discovered a metal soldier figure which when researched turned out to be representative of the famous Roland the Knight!Much more to explore there and I can’t wait to get back!”

“Cute, quaint. Eclectic beach themed. Thrift store. Many treasures here. And such a sweet lady working to help us. I bought a cute sweater dress and two new skully friends.”

“Just went in here (on their 3rd birthday), these ladies are SUCH DOLLS! The store is curated beautifully and it was such a nice experience looking around in the nooks and crannies. It’s not overfilled though, which I’m sure is tricky to do with antiques. Great store! ?”

“This little shop is always changing, with a new theme and fresh inventory. I browse often, find wonderful accents for decorating my cottage, and appreciate the fair pricing. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. One of my favorite places to browse and shop!”

“Best consignment shop I've ever been to! So much to choose from and all high end! Tops, bottoms, jackets, coats, shoes, pocketbooks,and gloves(new) and lots of fantastic jewelry and even special items for the home! Staff is extremely friendly! I never miss a visit when in the area!”

“Recently got a new television for our living room and we didn't want to hang it on the wall like we normally do so I spent weeks looking for the perfect console and stumbled upon this one. It fit the bill and checked all the marks. Not only is it gorgeous, but it is heavy duty. Real wood inside and out - no corners cut. Got it delivered in a large box safely packed and it took only 10 minutes to assemble with no issues unlike some other big box furniture stores. This particular piece is part of certain line of products they carry and if we had more space I would be going back to get the full matching set. Buy it for life furniture at a reasonable/competitive price. 10/10”

“Beautiful selection and prices! Very clean and easy to manage while trolling the racks...not overwhelming with "stuff"...just called to put a sweater on hold-can't want to get it!”

“The ladies that run the place are nice, and the selection is always fun.What surprised me was the first time I came in, they knew I wasn't local (at the time) and chatted me up a bit. Next time I came in was 10 months later, and they remembered me!Some random person that came in nearly a year ago and was there for maybe 30 minutes, and they remember me as I walk in. Felt very nice!”

“This shop has soooo many pretty vintage lights. They are reasonably priced. They also have some architectural salvage. The owner is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this shop.”

“I am a regular reseller at Plato's and just want to give these hard working gals at Plato's Portsmouth a good review after stumbling upon these reviews! There is a learning curve to selling at Plato's. They want clothes that appeal to their audience which is very young. I see so many offended sellers in these reviews and I feel like in some cases, there is a simple misunderstanding of the business model here. The store is full of teenaged shoppers. They will buy an oversized sweatshirt from American Eagle over a high end cashmere sweater...because that is what sells there. lululemon items are like gold. There doesn't need to be judgement added to what they take or don't take. Bring higher end items to a higher end consignment shop. A lot of times, when there is overstock in a particular size, they will ask you to bring the items back next time. I always check the store's instagram story before bringing in items. I try my best to bring in items that were in stores within the past 3 years. Many brands have the season and year on the inside tag, not the size tag at the top but the other tag within the body of the garment. The store is constantly needing to adjust hours due to being understaffed. The staff that stays works hard. I find the staff to almost always be lovely, especially the staff that has been there for a long time. As a regular in the store I can say I see on almost every visit a hopeful seller coming in who is completely clueless to the process there and they often get snippy with the staff simply because as consumers they didn't have an understanding of how things work there even when the staff member is politely explaining things for what could be the 20th time that day. I can see where that could be hard to deal with especially for the youngest staff members there. I love selling and shopping for my teens at Plato's Portsmouth!”
