Buying Every Game I Need From CEX!

[@AXEmurdererAM]

First vid I’ve come across. This dudes smile is CONSTANTLY etched across his face. Not many KZbinrs who genuinely love their job and know what they’re talking about.

CEX need to absolutely be made an example of and I hope this blows up.

[@nooneyithink]

Absolutely right to call CEX out on this, Im here for the good vibes but this is sad to see they’re praying on the less informed. I also can’t believe Pro Evo saved the day twice also ha words no one has ever used 😂. Great vid my guy. WINNING IS ESSENTIAL

WINNING IS ESSENTIAL. Love your content man. I recently purchased a ps3 slim and these games would be a great start for my collection!By the way there is a difference between a manual in an essentials/ Platinum game , the manual in an essentials game is usually printed in black and white compared to a regular print which is usually printed in colour.

That's what I do in CEX, if there is 2-5 copies of a game go through them all and compile them in to one and you get the complete release.

[@HyperTriggerEx]

I can’t blame the CEX staff for being taken in by fake products to be fair as some look pretty decent, but to have one sat on the shelf at an inflated price ain’t cool. I’m glad you were able to come home with some stuff and the whole trip wasn’t a complete bust. Take it easy.

[@RetroGhetto]

Yeah the ossie is that they know its fake and they continue to tray and sell it at a legit boxed price

I used to work at the Burton on Trent store. Since the new franchise came in aroudn October 2018, the staff turnover has been extreme. I even had a falling out with the area manager after he tried to scam a customer out of their warranty on an £800+ phone. Terrible culture there Edit: There was also a HMV around the corner, and they had a regular thief who would steal boxsets etc and come to our CEX store to sell it. Under order of the boss, ask no questions and buy it in. Can't comment on how the store is now or if they have new owners, but 2018-2019 it was essentially operating illegally.

Around the Amsterdam area in Holland, we don't have the retro stuff at our CEX's. Still hoping that will come. CEX helped me starting collecting about 8 years ago. I first bought all the cheap 1,- /1,50 stuff, even the printed covers for ALL consoles on a weekly round to the stores. I still do, but now bundle it to make a little profit to buy the more expensive stuff. I skipped collection for the PS4, but now since I have a PS5, the 4 & 5 is my main collection focus and sometimes pickup a cheap game for the PS1, 2 & 3 collection. WINNING IS ESSENTIAL Btw, funny thing I like to do at CEX NL. I got my UK Membercard and my Dutch card. I like to have some fun and give a new employee my UK card and so when it doesn't work they start to freak out a bit, also because I given them 40 games to find, box and scan. and now think its the computer fault and switch registers to scan it all over again. Then i 'find' my Dutch card. The older employees know me and are in on the joke. Like a first big test on the job.

I also had a terrible experience with CEX selling fakes - ordered some Skyward Sword Joy Cons that turned out to be fakes, clearly bought from AliExpress or something, then sold as legit. Paid 40 something for each one, only to be sorely disappointed when they arrived. It was clear even from just holding them they were fakes, but the dead giveaways were the HD rumble wasn't right, the printing of the Nintendo logo was wrong, the inability to update them and the zero Amiibo support. CEX really needs to have a dedicated training process for staff to inform them to do proper checks on whether or not things are legit or fake. Nicely done for calling them out, if everyone does the same, hopefully some day we will have eliminated all fakes / repros from the CEX chains.

I order this item 4 times online, first one I received was genuine but the clasp was warped and had missing links. However, the next 3 attempts I was sent were fakes! I gave up in the end. But the most disappointing thing I noticed was when I went back into the store to return one of the fake straps, I noticed in the window they were trying to sell one of the fakes I had returned as a genuine strap for full A grade price!

In the post I got Creepshow 2 by arrow video, it was meant to be the limited edition but it didn’t have any of the limited edition contents. It was just the same as the standard arrow blu ray. The standard is £10, the limited edition is £25. The crooks tried mugging me off for the limited price. I marched straight to my local CeX store, had a slight rant and returned it. Since this happened my local has two copies of Creepshow 2, neither of which are limited edition but yeah, you guessed it, they’re charging the limited editions £25 price. Unforgivable

[@collectorsalmanac]

CEX near me has been caught selling games with reproduction sleeves and even labels on some of the games. Usually they mark them that its reproduction buts theres a bunch which have made it through.

[@jaymarks3347]

Enjoyed this video. Nice to see you cant always pick up loads of games in CEX. Went into My local today and none of the games had manuals.

[@djstevie69]

I worked at the original CEX, our knowelege was massivley extensive and we all had different specialties, I was Nintendo and cartridge Specialist. We would never have brought in a copy like that with those boxes we would have taken it unboxed and got rid of the box or as you said, sell it as an unboxed with a custom box. Sad that things have changed since the 90s. That's utterly wrong. They have fallen off since Bobby passed on sadly and it's all about the money now it seems. We started as a real enthusiast group making a cool store that's grown out of all control now. A shame as some of the originals do work there.

I used to work for CEX a long time ago before retro came in but at the time. If it was wrong, it should be adjusted to the correct thing. That is not cool, especially after how many months after you bought it. Also this is why I love my store because they are most of the time spot on. Bar one thing. Which I'm still personally pissed off about but it's not their fault. The MGS HD collection. The collectors edition. The Steelbook is the 360 version in the PS3 box. Someone swapped it or put it in and they're still selling it. It's not on.

[@BenLCarter96]

I can relate to the Kirby mishap… I went into my local store yesterday and found NFS Most Wanted Black Edition on PS2; one of my favourite games of all time… get to the checkout and ask if they have the bonus disc as I noticed the swing holder was missing and the girl told me they didn’t have it. I also asked if theyd sell it at standard price as a result, because you’re not getting the bonus content, and she told me she didn’t make the prices and shrugged at me. They shouldn’t charge a premium for something if the bonus content is missing!

[@Discombobulate453]

I remember when game stores like Gamestation, Game and CeX had people working there who were genuinely passionate about games. Now, the workforce at these stores (minus Gamestation because it’s gone), are mainly dossers who are just there to get through the shift as easily as possible.

[@NaeEstus]

As someone who has worked for CeX for around 8ish years, it's not a company error when it comes to Kirby, it's almost definitely a management/store issue. It absolutely should NOT be at a boxed price, adjustments can EASILY be made by staff, not just management, it just needs approved by management. There is absolutely NOTHING in the companies ops manual that allows or encourages repro/fake boxes as boxed condition and is absolutely not promoted by any company standards. That's people's individual interests trying to save weekly reports to operations by keeping stock of a fake and as you said should very much be sorted out at a store level (which IS promoted by the company standard) and perhaps trying to save chances of bonus by keeping adjustment levels under a certain % or management that are trying to save their own arses if under investigation already. Any store I've ever worked it would just have been adjusted it to the appropriate grading (unboxed in this case) and probably even binned the box to avoid accusations such as these.

Icl 8 years in CEX sounds like hell, I've been in the company for about nearly a year and a half and I hate it. Stg you gotta be built different to have to put up with some of the stuff we gotta deal with on the regular.

WINNING IS ESSENTIAL I do the same at CEX, I go though if they have a few copies and put together the best version, Insterts, Manual, posters etc, I also had an issue with CEX selling things different than priced, I bought a DS lite recently, Was listed as Unboxed condition, Not Discounted, I got it and it was worse condition than the Discounted one I had bought from them not long ago, Lots of grime and yellowing.
