CeX

Need to get some quick cash for those albums you haven’t listened too for several years and now can’t imagine why you bought them? or maybe want to pick up a random bargain from a range of electrical goods? You do?!! Then CeX is for you!!!
Yes video games, DVD, CD, audio and visual equipment can be bought and sold here in what is essentially a pawnshop for the digital age. That makes this place sound somehow more romantic than it clearly is as if Dickensian characters can be found flogging Playstations but interesting items can be found amongst the eclectic choice of electronics that are bought and sold here.

I have to give CeX 3 stars, just because they have some really decent box sets and CDs available. Great. As a customer. But if you’re trying to sell off your goodies for a tidy sum then you’d be better setting up a stall outside your house. Seriously, I haven’t got over selling my Monty Python box set (mint condition!) for a fiver but at the time it was necessary!
It’s just depressing to see the immediate mark up as it was on sale for £18 the next day… robbed I tell you! But if you want to get rid of old mobiles, DVDs you were going to bin or box away, you might as well get what you can for it… pennies to pounds and all that jazz.
You can get some great deals on electricals, especially i-​pods and mobiles so I’d recommend having a gander.

Cex is great for picking up cheap DVD’s, CD’s, video games, mobile phones and laptops. It’s a well deserved treat and I often find myself going in to but one DVD and coming out with about 10 because it’s so cheap in this shop.
Essentially the shop works as a cash converter whereby you can buy, sell or exchange goods very quickly if you’re in need of extra cash! The downside to this is that the cash prices that they offer you for your goods are significantly lower than the trade prices that they offer you. You will often find yourself being offered 20p for one of your prize DVD’s!
However, if you’re skint and still have to wait two weeks until the next payday, then sometimes bunging all your crap DVD’s in a backpack and marching them down to Cex isn’t such a bad idea, even if you do only get a tenner!
There are two Cex’s in the city centre; the other is located inside the Central Station Shopping centre, just by the entrance to the train station. Last time I was here I saw a smack head trying to sell a widescreen monitor from about 1991, I can’t decide whether he was more upset that they wouldn’t buy it or that he had to carry it again!

CeX is a second hand goods exchange store on the high street that offers the opportunity to grab a bargain or to raise some extra cash quickly. The prices they offer for your unwanted items are generally competitive with other stores similar to this and I have never had a product from here that didn’t work.
I highly recommend there DVD section as there is always a bargain to be had, especially look out for the series box sets as these offer the best value for money. To get the most out of CeX I generally buy my used Xbox 360 games from here and when I’m finished with them sell them online as It is usual to be able to get a better price for 2^nd hand goods online than in CeX. However the difference is negligible so if your not that bothered about a few quid, CeX offers much more convenience for this.

CeX is a store where you can trade in your unwanted electronics goods (as long as they are in full working order and in adequate condition) to be resold at the store. All items you trade in are fully tested to meet specific criteria, so there are no shortcomings when buyers decide to purchase pre-​owned items. If an item you buy is faulty, there is a refund policy as long as you return the item with the receipt.
I have been a registered member with the store for about 3 years and ever since, I have traded in many items (mostly dated mobile phones) as I often like to keep up with the trend when it comes to anything technology related! Once trading in, there is the option of ‘exchange’ or ‘cash’ but whichever you choose, there is not much difference in terms of value. It all depends on your preference.
It’s an ideal store for those who are into gaming, mobile phones, computers and mp3’s however it if you decide to buy any of their goods, items will usually be more expensive than the RRP which in a way does not make sense because products are pre-​owned; this is actually their way of making profits so be warned.
Personally I would suggest this store if you wish to trade in for cash or want to buy second-​hand games (these are always cheaper) but everything else is has a bigger price tag.
