I've been looking at getting a 2021 ipad pro 11 recently, thre 128gb wifi model selling for £750 most places.
I happened to be in my local CEX looking at games yesterday and noticed they had the exact ipad model I'm after for £630. It was boxed - and the box looked sealed and brand new - with plastic wrap still on. The tag said it was grade A.
Do CEX ever sell boxed new items? I'd had thought they would open them to inspect the items? So do they re-seal / plastic wrap boxes?
It seems too good to be true. If I ask will they let me inspect the ipad before I buy - I assume they'd have to?
Does anyone have experience buying expensive tech from CEX? anything I should be wary of?

sorted byTried selling a hard drive sealed in the box a year or so ago and was told it can’t be sold as it’s sealed, it’s the same with games.
You get a 2 year warranty with CEX. I would go back to store and ask to have a look at the iPad.
They list sealed in something I wanted and it’s not when I received it
You sure? My local Cex always ask if it's ok to open/break the seal anything new. Or you could open/break the seal yourself before handing it over.
Yep.
I took a harddrive (one of the £60 cheap ones) in a year or so ago and was told they cannot take it as it was sealed with a bit of tape.
Also about 4 months ago I sold a few games and one was sealed and again was told it’s policy, they cannot be sold if sealed.
So now I just unseal anything I sell. (edited)
