CeX

I sold my iPhone to these people, good price and payed instantly, also a good place to Buy because the prices are reasonable as long as you don’t mind buying second hand stuff

If you want DVD’s and games that are cheap and you don’t mind they are second hand the CEX is the place to go. CEX offers some of the latest releases of DVD’s at a bargain price. The DVD’s have either been watched once or not at all. They have such a wide spread of games as well that you will be wanting to buy everything they have because it’s so cheap.
As I mentioned CEX has games and DVD’s but they also have old mobile phones and gaming consoles that are sold at a bargain price. I cannot comment on the quality of them, as I have never bought one. I have purchased many games and DVD’s from there and at first I was sceptic at purchasing some because I thought I would have some problems with DVD’s not working but I am happy to say that I have never had any problems with the purchases I have had. The prices are so brilliant I remember buying 6 DVD’s for £10, which is staggering. As my DVD collection builds I want to add more DVD’s from this store because they are so cheap.
If you don’t mind having a second hand DVD then go to CEX because you will find some amazing deals you won’t find anywhere else.

This is basically the same idea as Cash Generator or Cash Converters. You take your DVDs or console games, mobile phones, consoles, laptops, pc, video cameras, pcs or ipods in and swap them for money when you’re strapped for cash. What you always need to be aware of with this kind of thing is that the shop will want to sell the item on and make a profit. In order to do so they are more than likely going to offer you a price which is considerably lower than you would expect to receive if you were selling the item direct to another person. On the flip side of that, you may pay slightly more to Cex for an item you buy there second hand than you would if you were buying direct from another person.
I only ever wanted to sell this shop anything once and they didn’t really seem like they wanted to buy it. I had a mobile phone, a good one, and took it there but they kept telling me to come back at a time in the morning which wasn’t possible for me so I sent it off to envirophone in the end.
As for buying, the staff are very helpful when you want to spend some money in this store. I’ve never been asked to come back at an unsuitable time of day when I was buying a DVD or new ipod.

This place is absolutely awesome. I recently picked up the Band of Brothers box set here for £6 which is fantastic value. It’s all mainly second hand stuff but I’ve bought plenty of items here and all have been of impeccable quality.
Their biggest triumph is cheap DVDs. There’s hundreds here, both new and old films and prices that are comparable to what you would pay over the internet, The most recent Quentin Tarantino film I recently spotted in here for a fiver. If you’re got a tenner to blow you can still walk away with two or three great films. Try doing that in HMV!
They have good prices for computer games too, and though the selection is nowhere near as impressive as the DVD section, the prices are still almost unbeatable. They deal in computers, mobile phones, GPSs and anything people want to trade in really. I don’t pay much attention to that section but it still looks like there’s some good deals to be had.
If you’re looking for a game or DVD, check here first before going down to HMV, as 99% of the time CEX will have it, and it will be a good deal cheaper too.

I don’t like going in this shop. There always seems to be loads of staff just standing around chatting and I feel like they all stare at everyone who comes in. Maybe its just cos i’m a girl and its a bit of a man’s shop but I would never go in there by myself.
The thing is it done have good value second hand games and DVD’s and you can also swap your old stuff for other stuff including mobile phones and games accessories. I’m all for saving a bit of money on already overpriced stuff but I’d just feel a lot more conformable shopping for it from the privacy of my home were no one can judge my rubbish taste!

Well someone had to do it I suppose!!! CeX! Yep! They did it alright! So now we got little baby Cex’s popping up all over the place! Great!
Cardiff’s branch of Cex is right next to the bus and railway station, a fantastic spot for a shop that buys and sells electronic equipment, games, DVD’s and CD’s. I’m not sure how I feel about all of these modern day pawnbrokers that keep on appearing over night. Some of them are hideous, like Cash Convertors in Bristol. But this seems to be kind of okay… there’s no super-​rip off loan deals as far as I can see, and they do fundraising for Haiti and are really pro recycling.
But if I’m honest, the latter makes me a little uneasy. With my cynical head on I can see how things could all fit neatly together to make CeX even more profitable that it would normally be. You see, they’re asking people to consider ‘donating stuff’ instead of selling it. Being green and raising money for charity are two entirely feasible reasons for requesting that people just give them stuff… but this is a commercial concern, not a charity… so, all they do is turn it around and sell it for a few quid. That’s 100% profit from a no-​cost item! Bargain! So what if they have to thrown a few coins in the direction of Haiti??? They’re still quids in aren’t they?

For a buyer, much of a second-​hand stuff in CEX is pretty overpriced in my opinion. You could find most of the PS3 and Wii games cheaper online, possibly even new. Some of the iPods they sell ‘B grade’ used are priced higher than buying the exact same thing NEW on Amazon or
! So unless you’re desperate to play a game right NOW, go online instead.
I’ve never sold anything in there but a friend of mine has and he says they are (quite rightly) very strict on the required I.D., and they will give you a pretty hard time criticising the condition of the stuff you’re selling and devaluing it a lot.
So all in all they must be doing a nice little earner there but as a buyer there are better places to go.
