People selling stolen goods
The other day I went to my local CeX store to trade in some items and witnessed the most bizarre transaction to date: a man wearing a helmet and balaclava unloaded roughly 40/50 PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch games.
They were all sealed.
The CeX employee scanned them all and open each to check the contents etc.
Sadly I had to leave before I could hear how much he was going to get paid for them.
During this whole interaction the only exchange of words was this fella saying “I want to sell this” and the employee saying “ok” lol
This person obviously didn’t get all these games for Christmas, and I’m surprised that someone can just walk in to a store with their face completely covered and unload hundreds of pounds worth of games, get cash and walk out like nothing happened.
Is this a common occurrence?
Edit: I didn’t think this would get so much interest lol To answer some of your points:
- I didn’t expect minimum wage employees to risk their job/wellness by doing anything about it. I was just sharing a bizarre interaction.
- I disagree with some of you who said that maybe this person got these games legitimately. I flip items myself at CeX so I sell items quite frequently, but none of them are sealed and I certainly don’t sell 40/50 at once, more like 2 to 4 at a time.
- What shocked me the most is the helmet+balaclava situation. I felt like I could get robbed any minute because this is the kind of shit you see on TV. What legitimate reason could you have to wear that indoors when it’s like 18 degrees outside and you’ll be standing there for probably half an hour? Stop normalising crime people.
