Pros
- CEX is probably the safest place to buy 2nd hand parts. Fantastic warranty and they have a high street presence so you can actually go in store if you have an issue.
- I found them at CeX, which is quite a big 2nd hand electronics retailor here in the UK, so I'd assume they would work fine, and I do think they have a warranty on them.
- If you want to buy second hand and want warranty CEX is the way to go.
- They’ve always been a good place to buy and sell parts from, no idea why you’d have any aversion to it. They tend to price fairly, can be quite slow to react to big market changes like the crypto boom so can often have great deals, and t...

- I recently purchased a ryzen 7 9800x3d from cex which not only came out of the box dead, they sent a ryzen 5!
- They only do the bare minimum testing on them, meaning that they could break down prematurely.

They’ve always been a good place to buy and sell parts from, no idea why you’d have any aversion to it. They tend to price fairly, can be quite slow to react to big market changes like the crypto boom so can often have great deals, and their warranty and return policy is painless.
