However in my experience whenever I have taken items to sell to them, they always say that they have run out of cash or that they are not buying items from people. Therefore I usually end up taking my items home with me rather than accepting a credit note. Their prices for second hand games are often a lot higher than what you can buy the items for brand new. I will say that the cash prices they offer you for games is quite decent, so perhaps this is why they charge customers so much to buy their second hand goods?! Anyway I have had a few damaged items such as jumpy dvds from Cex, so have stopped using them as I do not think that their quality checking of preowned items is very good. Still if you have items to sell and need cash quickly, it is worth taking a trip to Cex very early in the morning and just hope and pray that they have the cash to buy your stuff!

CEX in Newcastle has changed a fair bit since I started patronising it in 2006. Their game…read moreselection has understandably shifted very heavily towards newer consoles, and there's been a change in focus towards more of a marketplace-type environment of game and electronics buying/selling. In essence, CEX, seems to have become a bit of a pawn shop for these types of items, so isn't as pleasant to browse in as the nearby GAME and Gamestation stores, which also offer similar items. One feature, however, which I highly recommend about this CEX is the arcade-game console running the classic Marvel Vs Capcom fighter game in the rear of the store. With 3 plays running at only 50p, it's a great value and very fun way to spend a bit of time either alone or with a mate if stuck for something to do in Newcastle for a half hour or so.
