    i might have to take the train up to King's Lynn the Retro shops look Epic. I never seen a CEX store that big and it looked pristine as well. The atmosphere is CEX was better 20+ years ago when the stores were run by veteran old-time gamers who you could talk to. Also you could play games usually on a 14" CRT. There used to be a Wimpy in Croydon for the longest time. It closed about 8 years ago and I was convinced it was the last one in the UK LoL.

    • @DanTheGamesMan
      @DanTheGamesMan  2 роки тому +1

      I looked it up and there like 65 wimpys left in the U.K. lol.
      I only started visiting CEX in the last few years when I really started collecting again, I’m not sure how long there’s even been a store in my local city.
      Kings Lynn is well worth a visit just make sure all the stores are open in the day you visit, I know I’ll be going back again soon!

    While in cex yesterday there was a seller selling all his retro games and consoles like 1400 in cex vouchers and 1000 in cash . Some very rare games and consoles in mint boxed condition Inc rococo vs terminate which had the shop assistant virtually wet himself as he wasn't even born when it came out .

    3:26, 3:47, 4:52 My guy, you should get to know more about Rayman, I mean in CeX they don't have many Rayman games on the console games shelf but I mean when I see this one in Kings Lynn, I feel like I want more Rayman games from the past. Btw, I bought Rayman Legends from CeX in Hounslow, I mean it wasn't too expensive then it was before but the price was £8 which wasn't half bad.

    Nice pick ups there mate, glad you got 2 scratched off your hitlist. Kings Lynn looks awesome for retro so I may have to pop up there at some point. The cex there reminds me of the Ipswich store which is also set over 2 levels. I think Sega Zombie has a retro game and toy stall there as well. As far as burger king goes, Colchester and Clacton still have BK restaurants AFAIK but I don't visit them as I'm vegetarian...

    What I hate about cex is they use these circle stickers which leave an embossed outdentation when you peel them off , and then you have to deal with the sticker residue it leaves behind. I can't remember the last time I shopped in cex. They are a failing company. What I learned about cex, is their wages are based on the amount of games they are able to sell, alot of time their staff are paid out of the tills. If loads of people dump all their games into cex, ask for cash and nobody is buying they won't be able to pay their staff, it won't surprise me if the company goes bust in a few years. Just like those cash for gold shops.

    • @DanTheGamesMan

      If that’s true that’s pretty horrible but I’m sure there must be rules in place that make sure they’re paid.

      I feel like it may go up in value also as I don’t think it had a massive print run, I’m still yet to try it for the controls lol.
      I’ve got more that way recently I’m needing to go for complete games as it can sometimes cost just as much for the manual that it does for the actual game and it’s only going to get harder over the next few years to find these CIB games.
      I normally go for just manual and game but I can understand the desire to go for the absolute COMPLETE experience as I used to love going through the contents of a game on the way home from the store!
      It can be more expensive buying from eBay, but, that is normally where the best condition games end up and at the end of the day you do get what you pay for.
