@@tradingcardboss thanks man, glad you enjoyed ✌🏼 The lenticular was nice. But, it would mainly sit on the shelf with just the spine showing and never really get seen 🤷🏼♂️

You hit the nail on the head when you compared spending in store credit to cash Phill.I think we are all guilty of spending up in store credit more quickly.
@@BrianSmith-lj6ug it’s certainly a lot easier when it isn’t ‘actual’ cash. I think it’s partially why they keep some of the prices quite high for a time. Honestly, I was going to get memory expansion for the kids Xbox so I had space to download the new Indiana jones game. The memory card was £6 more expansive pre owned in CEX compared to brand new from Amazon. 🤷🏼♂️ I refuse to be taken for a mug with the pricing. I’d rather do a little research and get the best pricing I can.
Did you get them to close the store for you? Many UA-camrs I know can't even film the racks there's so many people queuing, let alone filming from a distance without anyone in or crossing shot! Great video though given I really need to do this... *Attack on Titan* is about to get a matching steelbook release for all seasons (shame I can't justify upgrading just for the case, even though I'm a steelbook fan... especially with SO many big titles being released in the next couple of months!)
Out of Sight what a great movie doesn’t get the credit it deserves 👌👌👌. Great vlog intend to go for credit in cex as the cash value isn’t as appealing to me. Blu ray amarays all but new releases tend to drop off a cliff after a few months
@@jimmyboysmovies1972 I’ve earned marked the credit for a new camera lens for future videos I think. Should still have some more left over for a few pick ups on a shopping trip some day. I can’t believe how underlooked Out of Sight seems to have become over time. To be honest, there’s a few from that period I have fond memories of that just don’t get mentioned much anymore
@@kermitsghost CEX is just so much quicker and easier than eBay. I’ve had things sat around for weeks sometimes… also, if they just aren’t worth much I’d just rather do CEX and save the time of listing and packaging items
The pricing for Blu Rays and 4Ks is bizarre in CeX sometimes. I managed to pickup the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy on 4K today for £10! It was labelled up as regular Blu Ray and I didn’t think they would honour it, but needless to say I was well chuffed 😅
@@mrbrit6746 it’s all over the place. Last time I went in Dune was another titles that was priced higher than new from HMV.

@@MattVs_Movies I’m being patient with any display pieces. Gotta get things in place before I start adding too much. I will be going back from a proper look at those collectibles though. Some pretty cool bits.
Credit makes sense in these scenarios but particuarly these days you have to worry if the store will go bust as nothing is safe in retail, our local HMV closed the other day.
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 whaaaat, I though HMV were all about opening new stores again at then moment. Credit is definitely the better option if there’s things you want or willing to just hold the credit until there is something. I’m prepared to wait… and I’m sure my kids will soon find a game or something they want if the credit is lingering around unused.
@@PhillwithadoubleL No need to worry HMV arent going bust, i emailed them and they said my store closed due to 'local economic conditions' making it unfeasable to have the store remain. Sucks though as a film fan when one of your favorite shops closes :(
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 it especially sucks when the high street is already so limited with physical media outlets. The supermarkets around me are terrible for any type of movies… mainly HMV / CEX or Fopp within a decent location
@@PhillwithadoubleL Yes i feel the same, i am forced to buy in CEX or online now as have no other option. Dont fancy a 30min drive now everytime i want to visit a HMV when i already live in a city.
@@PhillwithadoubleL They're opening more than they're closing but they go by individual store and what the ground rent etc is each year I think... they could easily close one but reopen _relatively_ near if they find cheaper premises that means they won't run at a loss, but some areas just go downhill as the local councils jack up rents greedily... so shops go bust... so nobody goes to the area to provide footfall... so councils jack up rents to make up for the shops that have left and aren't paying them any more etc. They have to realise this is no longer the 80s when High Street was destination shopping. Now so many use online they have to lower expectations rather than chasing the same figures they used to get and ruining a whole area that crumbles away without mass footfall (rant over)
Hi Phil I am not familiar with CEX as they are not Here in Melbourne Australia Just curious if CEX rejects some titles eg Already have to many of that Title as this is what I am finding with a second hand Retailer I have been going to over recent years now. Regards Trevor
@@trevormaurer3684 hey Trevor, I’ve never known CEX reject a title, I think when they start to get surplus amounts they will adjust the cash or credit value accordingly. I’ve known them offer as little as a penny for some titles. They are however generally pretty sharp on checking the discs are scratched and in good shape… cases they’re not too fussy on but the discs they’ll always check well. (Usually)
@@PhillwithadoubleL It doesn't happen often but they _do_ occasionally say "We have so many of those we're just not interested in filling up warehouse/shelf space pointlessly"
@@outpost3178 it was just one of those things. I’ve seen the movies, got the box set… after years, still not been that bothered about going back to them. Not saying I won’t watch them again.
