CEX either don’t know the value of a lot of items, or are banking on buyers not knowing (maybe both).
Second hand Steam Decks for more money than brand new higher spec models is my favourite example.

I don’t call them the thieves guild for nothing.

Knowing CEX, They prolly gave the seller £2.40 and half a bag of sweets.

Cex are the epitome of greed, I only sell to them when I feel like ripping them off.

People talking about CEX, I’ve never had an issue with their pricing lmao. Surely you guys are aware they are middle men, they have overheads and need to make profit from your hardware lol. Yes you will make a loss on some items but thats a given since it’s convenient & you don’t have to deal with private sales

It’s £2500 on their website, which is actually a reasonable price.

New for 4K USD in the US.
You can book a flight out here, grab some In n Out, fly back and come out 1k ahead.
Used to browse CEX now and then for retro stuff but nothing is cheap anymore, now they want £100 for an original Game Boy.
Best i can do is 100£
Used Threadripper Pro processors can sometimes be vendor-locked, so they can only be used with one specific motherboard brand.
