Selling things to CEX (lots of things)

[habipprtyh]

I have used CEX before to sell old phones etc, I know their price isn't always the best but it's far safer and easier than eBay these days, plus less of the faffing about.

DD has just given me an absolute pile of old games for various consoles, plus a couple of (unboxed) consoles - I happened to mention last night I was popping into town to sell an old tablet!

Anyway, I'm not a pro at selling and have only done it a handful of times, does anyone know, am I going to look crazy taking in 3 huge shopping bags fill of stuff? Are the staff going to roll there eyes at me? Should I do this in separate loads?

Better to do a big load in the week, rather than on a Saturday.
May take a while for them to check everything, hope you have a decent coffee shop nearby!

Who cares if the staff roll their eyes?

Yes!! Plan is to drop it off, grab a coffee then get a wander round town before going back in

I’ve never tried cex, but another option might be music magpie or something like that - you can scan them at home so will know a price in advance (often pennies, of course) and they’ll collect for free.

I'm happy with CEX tbh, it's done and dusted and I'm a bit reluctant to send things off to be checked. If anything comes back as not ok at least in CEX you just take it home with you. The whole postal thing is one I want to avoid.

Just away to head into town after breakfast

Pretty sure you can check the price they'll offer online. Not a lot of point taking in the games that will only be worth a couple of pennies

Thanks, DD checked it all out when deciding what to sell

Why would they object to somebody taking a large amount of stock in to sell to them? If people didn't do that, they'd have no business.

I'd be wary of sending things off, too - I sent a box of old CDs and DVDs to MM, triple checked before sealing it, and they claimed that two items were missing and refused to accept two CD singles, because 'we don't take singles', even though they'd correctly identified them and made me offers for them when I'd entered the barcodes. It was only about 5p each, but it left a very sour taste - I wouldn't bother with them again as I no longer trust them. At least, in person, there's no doubt that an item has been handed over and, if they don't want it for any reason, you can take it away again without them keeping it (I know they say they 'recycle' them, but that could mean anything - it's still your property).

I wasn't being overly serious about it, I know they wouldn't object, I was just aware of taking lots more than normal.

As it turns out we didn't couldn't go as DS school phoned when we were halfway to town and we had to turn back and go and pick him up! Just a virus no doubt but that means next week for the mega selling trip
