Graigner Games Cheetham Hill is in the Cheetham Hill shopping centre, opposite the Costa Coffee and…read morevery close to the Tesco store. This is a smaller store but still has a good selection of games on various consoles. I had 2 visits to this store, one through choice and one, which I was near enough forced to make, This review makes more sense if you read my one for the Oldham branch as well otherwise the events may be abit confusing. I went into the store and I bought the New Call of Duty game for £30, it was 5 pounds cheaper on the website but I got quite a lame excuse regarding that, that is a reduction for waiting times, I do feel that if they can do £25 online, they should be able to do in the shop as well. I ordered the game in new condition, so after making nearly a 10 mile round trip, I expected everything to be okay but when I got home, I noticed the game was open. I rang the store right away and they explained that they have to do that for display purposes but they would offer me a full refund, or a unopened replacement if one came in on the following days' delivery. As I was going to Oldham anyway, I tried to get the refund in the Oldham store and to put it short, they were very rude and said it wasn't part of the returns policy even though I phoned them and they did offer to give me a refund. This meant I had to go all the way back to Cheetham Hill, and somehow I had to fit this in on my already packed schedule. When I went back, without a fuss they gave me a full cash refund, I would of thought they would of gave me 5 pounds cash and the rest on my card, like I paid but this was easier, as they didn't have the unopened game come in with their delivery. I do feel this store done well to rectify the problem, but I am still furious they never told me in the beginning to save another 10 mile round trip, they just put the game in my bag without giving me chance to check it first but anyway it isn't my job to check it, they should of informed me. Due to this incidient, I can only give 2 stars, scoring 1 higher than the Oldham branch because this store rectified the problem "that wasn't in their return policy"

Cex really is the king of second hand games and dvds and the like. I really, really love it here…read more The whole thing is about recycling your old games and dvds so that other people can get some enjoyment from them. Cex make a tidy profit from the whole shebang too, so everyone is happy. We recently came here and sold a whole bunch of games to Cex. We were offered £20, but more in store credit which we just put into buying loads of stuff that we actually wanted. It was a big win. You can sometimes find the queues are quite big, as people selling games takes a long time. So don't think you can just come in and out of here in a couple of minutes. The staff are individual, sometimes a bit odd, but always rather friendly.

Really nice owner and enjoyed chatting with her. Glad to see they've found a suitable new home and I encourage anyone over the age of 40 to spend some of your hard earned cash in here

TradeMeIn is one of the few, independent stores which buy and sell games, mobile phones and tech…read moreitems, it's most similar rivals include CeX and Game, both of which have stores nearby, for me this store is much more modern and vibrant than other trade-in retailers with a blue theme, it just felt clean and modern inside which you generally don't get with CeX. The location is in Leeds centre, although being in St John's it is a little isolated and doesn't get the footfall which the main city centre and the likes of The Trinity does. The quotes here for trading in items seems rather generous, although for my phone I had been quoted higher from both Mazuma Mobile and Music Magpie, the quote I was given was much higher than any mobile phone networks recycle scheme and their nearest competitors, Game and CEX. The store was a little small, so the selection could have been better. There was a large selection of more older games and DVD's compared too new-ones. I don't like their website, it makes it rather difficult to set up an order and the database just doesn't work online, for example, if you searched for an iPhone it would come up starting with 3GS first, with around 20+ pages, and if you search the iPhone name and model exactly, it doesn't come up so this filtering system just isn't working and needs work, to improve the customer experience before coming into the store. With trade-in prices on average better than its closest rivals, yet not the best overall and a good store feel which is how a trade-in store should be, of course, it can improve based on making sure it is easier to get a quote, and perhaps the size of the store and location to a certain extent, it still is a slightly above average store in general and anything less than a three-star rating would surely be an insult for a store which I see high potential in to be upgraded in the future.

Quite a small narrow shop and could do with a bit more lighting, but they have quite a good selection of games and will order you titles that they don't have in stock. You probably have to pay £5-£10 more than you would online, I went in there today and spent £85, realising on the way out that I could have saved £20 if I'd bought from Amazon, but sometimes it's good to know that you're feeding a small business.
