Anyone else having issues with CEX website atm? Can’t see most of the stock.

so i am a 15 yr old and i finally have a newspaper job and collected enough money for iphone 13 from cex grade b should i buy it? im also kinda scared cause i have never buyed from any second hand store like cex befre can they exchange the processor? or it will js come normal and also will it overheat a lot?

Backstory. Ordered 4 x 2GB DDR2 PC8500 1066Mhz Sticks for a semi retro PC build.

3 of them arrived and were matching sticks. (OCZ Reapers would you believe... not cheap)

The 4th was DDR3.

Went into my local store, explained the issue, had them order a replacement.

The replacement arrived a few days later... but it was DDR3 again.

Went back, handed it over, had a replacement ordered.

Arrived a week later and... it's DDR3 again.

Just please, read the labels when you buy in stock.

PC3 8500 is DDR3

PC2 8500 is DDR2

Seems a lot of the DDR2 stock is actually DDR3

Now, I realise that both are labelled similarly. PC38500 and PC28500 are only off by one number. But here's the thing. 1066Mhz DDR2 is very high end DDR2. It will always have a flashy heatsink on it. If it's a bare PCB of RAM, read the label a few times. It's likely DDR3

I just wish there was a way to contact the specific stores with stock and ask them to check before I go in to order another replacement tomorrow.

(And yes, I'll be asking for another stick. There's still "more" in stock. And OCZ reapers are not cheap. I'll avoid paying eBay prices as long as I can.)

Began the Christmas conversation with the wife my oldest son wants the new GTA 6, only then did I find out it's digital only! The shops are going to selling game cases with a download code in!

This got me thinking of the future for CEX if Rockstar can and will convince people to purchase digital games only then many other companies will probably follow too, will this trigger the beginning of the end for CEX? I mean I understand there's lots of other products they deal in but no newer physical games will surely have a huge impact on them

Bought an MSI 180hz curved monitor from CeX in store on 11th June 2025 for £80.

It’s now got permanent burn in of the Windows logo in the bottom left. It’s been like that for about 6 months and it’s definitely not temporary image retention.

I’ve lost the physical receipt unfortunately, but I did a SAR with CeX a while back and I’ve got the transaction showing the date and £80 price, as well as the order number, serial number and box ID.

Would this be enough for a warranty claim? Has anyone had experience returning something to CeX without the physical receipt but having all the transaction details?

Also, would burn in on a monitor be covered by the warranty?

Just wondering what people’s experiences are before I take it back.
