Smells like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

My local one has a copy of Mega Man X5 for like £95
The game isn't even that great.

It's a pawn shop that specialises in video games and movies, what the fuck do you expect?

I hate the atmosphere above all else.

bought a dreamcast from them recently, just getting some stuff for it now to have some comfy vidya time.

Why'd you buy a dreamcast? yours broke?

I used to work in CEX.
The pay was so fucking garbage but it was such a fun place to work.

Why do they always smell of horrendous body odour and why is there always a massive queue of Romanians trying to haggle on a Samsung J3 from 2015 in front of me?

There used to be one in Philadelphia. I went there only once but got Xenoblade X for $15 a week after release so that was based

no, i'd been looking at them for a few months now and thinking about picking one up. the local cex had one so i finally decided to just say fuck it, it was only £40 with a controller and all the cables.

Occasionally can get some decent PC games for less than a £1 there

I did as well but I hated every step of it.

they've started to catch onto some pc titles sadly, i think jurassic park operation genesis was pretty expensive the last time i was in there, the same with simpsons hit and run.

got a pstv from them for 40$

Ah shame, I once picked up Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, Total War: Rome and a few others for less than £4

I respect a lot of them for having a gamecube shelf still
also I've gone and picked up a cheap controller when I've needed one in the past, they've always been good for that sort of thing
unfortunately their PC hardware is generally not priced so well
you always see a years-old semi decent GPU in the window going for full retail price

Lads how do I go about asking the cutie who works there out? She saw me buying sekiro and metro exodus the other day

Get into light conversation with her. I once had a qt shop assistant chat me up when I was buying Life is Strange to see what the hype was about. Unfortunately I was socially inept at the time and didn't realise how good looking I was, now years of excessive drinking spoiled that.

Point is, strike while the iron is hot and get that qt

don't do it man, retail workers encounter dozens of weirdos every day, they're definitely not in the state of mind to be looking for a relationship while behind the counter
also if you fuck up you've gotta see her every time you return a copy of independence day

you might be able to get those games fairly cheap still, but any games that command any kind of price online tend to be fairly expensive for what they are through cex. some examples i know of for pc specifically are:
>stubbs the zombie
>simpsons hit and run
>silent hill 2
>jurassic park operation genesis
>resident evil 2

you can get double the price for your used games but you have to sign a weird contract and give them your id.

overrated, these kind of stores are shit now because they can just google what something is. So, you'll never find anything that the shop has severely under priced because they've no clue what it is.

My local one from Stratford always has shitty GPUs, the most high-end one they have in store is like a GTX 750Ti

pretty sure i've seen a 660 in a local one for a while now. also saw a raspberry pi 2 model b.

Sometimes you find older games at a reasonable price but each one is literally lucky dip. As a every purpose shop, it is shit.

>saw bof4 for £12 in my local
>didn't have enough to buy it after buying a new bed and fridge
I hope to god its still there next time I go.

>>simpsons hit and run
it's only £10

I once sold my old macbook to CeX for way more than it would have gone for on Ebay. The charger didn't work properly (the charging port itself wasn't working) yet it passed all the tests and I walked out with I think 500 quid or more. Sounds like not a lot for a macbook but I can assure you it wasnt worth that especially as it wasnt 100% working.

Like I say in every CeX thread, I liked the Boston one as much as it always smelled like piss and as much as the employees blared shitty music

I love trading in broken shit to them because they never catch it.
Last thing I did was a DS4 with some major stick drifting.

must've been reduced pretty heavily for some reason, the last one i saw was £22.

we have one of these in my city, ours has a basement filled with dvds and shit, the store smells like bollock sweat all the fucking time though, and homeless-looking people keep coming in all day to pawn shit

Is it pronounced SEX or KEKS?

Sex but iirc head office tried to change it at some point because people kept making sex jokes. I think their wifi in the one I used to go to was called "Unprotected CEX"

Though I always pronounce it cee-ee-exx for some reason.

It's not really, but you occasionally come across some good stuff. I've found some pretty rare concert DVDs in there from time to time.

shit prices and shit trade ins better of buying AND selling on ebay

fairly sure it's CEXchange

Bought a hard drive from there the other day as no other retail store in my area even has them. Maybe PC World / Currys in Liverpool or Bromborough did but fuck going that far.

I hope it was CIB, you can get that in BookOff for like ¥3,000
I got my CIB Super Famicom for ¥2,000 but those are a lot more common

>go into Cex to sell my old psps and some games after Game said they'd give me a whopping 30 quid
>besides the stale smell of sweat and overall depression it isn't as bad as normal, only a small line
>group of three in front of me a guy and two girls all acting normal with nothing out of the ordinary
>Notice both girls are wearing furry ear headbands with a matching glove set
>see them get to the counter and suddenly within a blink of second they crouch down against the counter with their noises pressed against it staring at the worker behind the counter whilst making loud 'MEOW' sounds
>See the worker behind the counter die inside
struggling to ignore tthem
>the guy with the girls acts like this is normal and proceeds to try and trade in a single cooking mama ds game
>Notice that the girls also have tails that suspiciously go into their pants.......
>finally my turn at the counter
>get offered 35 quid for my psp and games
>as i'm walking out see a guy in a fluttershy cosplay walk in
How does one single store function so well as an autism magnet?

Anime/manga stores in Britain are worse desu, the epicenter of unironic autism.

My father in law threw his family's PC away with Jurassic Park Operation Genesis in the cd drive. My wife never forgave him.
