Had upgraded my graphics to 4850 a while back and want to flog my 8800gts 640mb to the bay but then found that Cex according to there site will buy it for £69 cash.Has anybody done a deal with them before? What is it like in dealing with them? as i think £69 is a good pay for this card.thanks.
Cex Linky here (http://www.cex.co.uk/products/Computing/Graphics,%20Sounds%20&%20Vision/Graphics%20Cards%20-%20PCI-E/index.php?sku=SGRAF7P10HGAA&name=Nvidia%20GeForce%208800%20GTS%20640MB%20PCI-E&mode=buy)
I use them a fair bit for getting rid of stuff I dont want. Ive also bought from them a few times. They do pay what they say on the website.
Traded in my Wii with Cex and picked up a laptop from them in exchange, and they were very helpful. I plan to start using them more in the future to swap games and suchlike.
The second hand laptop might as well have been new, it was spotlessly clean and came with a 12 month warranty through them. They took the Wii off me, tested it (took about an hour) and then exchanged it for a voucher. (I took the voucher rather than the cash as you can get more for your trade that way if youre looking for more electrical goods).
Incidentally if you do go with the voucher route for store credits you can use it on their website, you have to make the purchase first and then you post the voucher to them special delivery and they credit your card with the amount on the voucher.
thanks guys.i will bring this to the store then, that will save me from paying the ridicolous ebay fees = listing fee + final value fee + paypal fee lol.
CEX are good, sold all my original Xbox stuff to them for a reasonable price, easier than ebaying by far.
Jaimz :rock:
I will check them out for selling to them, now i have some items to sell and now they have also opened up in my high street, but i checked at xmas and their prices selling stuff to customer was a bit pricy.
Any idea for console stuff what their exchange is like? Ive only ever traded old games in once, and that was mostly old old xbox games, in bulk, at blockbuster, but I didnt get much (With hindsight I should have kept them all, as I got less than £35 for about 15 games!)

I understand Cex tend to beat most high street stores like GAME and Gamestation for trade in, I imagine they would for Blockbuster as well especially if you choose store credits to pick up more games.
Hmm, next time I am in Soton I will have to check it out, as thats my nearest place. Bit too far to drop in and trade a few things but if I put together a massive collection it might just be worth it. Looking at the picture it looks like theyve taken over one of the game store locations...
if you want to sell them stuff.... can you just wander into one of there shops witha big box full of crap ?
Ill have to take a van for all the crap i have....
edit: looks like you can only post stuff.... guess i could send them a pallet :-)

Yes you can, take ID.
Can i have dibs on shiny stuff tho?
I thought CEX dont pay cash since the credit crunch, but store vouchers instead?

They have always done both cash or store credit. Obviously if you choose store credit you get slightly more than you would if you opt to take the money.
CEX is ok, but youll find ebay quicker for buying stuff. Unless your a mate, prepare for a long wait.

This is right.
They take the device you take in there, test it, you get reciept and come back a little while later and claim your money.

The website still seems to be doing cash and listing cash trades, are you sure that they werent just out of cash? It happens quite a bit in stores especially around the Christmas period/January sales when they are buying more in unwanted gifts than they are selling, towards the end of the day the stores can run out.

I was in on Sat getting rid of a mobile, and they paid me cash. Odd :\
Id have thought that places like CEX would be one of the few businesses to do better in the current economic climate.
Though maybe they could end up with a surplus of stuff people trade in, and no one buying, hence the vouchers...?
It might be more of an issue in some branches than others, depending on area.
Went in yesterday and sold 2 x gamecube games, 1 pc game for £21 cash and was paid on the spot :), store credit is optional and is more value.
Ill be going back to CEX again :D
Dont forget that CEX stores are franchised so some may have different rules on cash / vouchers than others.
That said, Ive sold a fair bit of stuff to CEX and often got prices well over the odds of what youd get on forums / the bay.
