I always pronounced it keks. Also funnily enough, keks is the noise you make when reading about a bad keks experience

keks means pants/boxers/underwear here

I've paid for sex though, once.

I've never paid for sex!

Have had to deal with some rather angry prostitutes tho...

Bought some DD2 from CeX once a few years ago which turned out to be server RAM. Funny thing was they didn't list server RAM as option to buy so they clearly don't check or test out. They did exchange it no bother though.

Isn't CeX a second hand shop?

I found out the other day that even 5 or so years on I'm still barred from one local CeX branch.

The first time I went in one was last year in Hanley and bought quite a few PSVR4 games for my PS5.

isnt it a shop where they buy your stuff for like 30% of it's value then sell it on for 3x the price

Don't pay her.

Pretty much this. My nearest one always provides a chuckle. Most PC bits are either at or over full new retail prices. Then they wonder why stuff isn't shifting.

Did the motherboard let out an Oh sound when you inserted the RAM?

Or did it make the *Bleep* sound because he inserted it in the wrong slot?

Newcastle-under-Lyme branch had a RTX3070 in the window a while back, it was marked up at £1400. :eek:

it's good for selling stuff if you're impatient or can't be arsed with ebay/gumtree etc

it's funny how hey give like 30p for some games tho - what's the point! I suppose if you had 100 of them...

It's a fencing shop.

Took a SNES in recently with Mario Allstars, offered me less than the price of what I could get on eBay. Promptly left, guess you only go there to sell an item if you want money for the item quick or they offer close to a good price but with less hassle.

Indeed.

CEX are just like Cash Converters, in so much that they're basically a legalised fencing operation. I remember posting on here sometime back about the trouble my Brother-in-law had with the latter when he spotted his recently stolen golf bats proudly displayed in the window of one of their shops - complete with his personalised bat covers and a bag with his contact details in UV pen.
