Has anyone had experience buying high end phones from CeX?

My Note20 Ultra is getting long in the tooth and i was looking at the s25 Ultra 1TB. I can get a "mint condition" one from CeX for a few hundred less than buying new along with a "5 year guarantee" which is the lifetime i would expect of such a phone.

I'm a little apprehensive about dropping 1.2-1.3k on a phone from what is essentially a high street pawn broker though.

I know from personal experience that a lot of stolen stuff ends up in CeX, if a phone i buy ends up blacklisted after i buy it is it covered by the guarantee?

Can't speak for your exact case - That being said, every phone I have ever purchased has been from CEX (£300-£600) and the one time I had an issue, it was replaced by CEX within a week of my complaint, no questions asked.

Their B products are almost mint condition as well, if you're looking to save a few quid that way.

you ever had a phone blacklisted?

Never, to be honest I hadn't even considered that. Their warranty would likely cover that. I think it's 2-3 years default?

For posterity i found this while lurking on reddit re the blacklisting question
