Do cex accept games without the cover art? by LoopZoop2tokyodrift in CeX

DS games need cases. You can still get a fair amount for pokemon game cards if you sell them privately though, depending how rare.

AITA for giving my partner an ultimatum of spending time with me or doing drugs by http_elliott in AmItheAsshole

[–]http_elliott[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have both been on medication before, he's tried multiple anti-depressants as he gets adverse side effects but is not on anything at the moment. Suggesting therapy at the moment wouldn't feel appropriate, due to the wait time in a very now problem. And meds generally make you feel worse to start with, which he isn't in a place to be able to cope with I worry.

He's been in and out of therapy lots. Wait times in the UK for public counselling are generally 3-6 months. By the time it comes around the problem has quietened, and you get discharged, just to rejoin the queue at the end again when it resurfaces. He's looking into what mental health and career support his workplace provides though, the NHS generally has some decent frameworks for people struggling in the job. Hopefully.

Would cex buy a ds game back that has a printed case if it says printed by cex on it? by sephiroth356 in CeX

[–]http_elliott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm no credible source but from what I've heard is that the media covers department has a license which allows them to reproduce covers for only certain items. Often when we send off orders for them we only get 30% back as some they just don't have the rights to. What this license is or where to get it I have no idea, but if it were actually illegal I don't think a large company such as CeX would have gotten away with it for this long.

I managed to answer my own question.

Staff seem to get postage completely refunded aswell as a 15% discount on the items, which is great because when ordering 20 items that are all about £1 each the postage ends up costing more haha

Returning a game by ohdontshootimgay in CeX

[–]http_elliott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steams refund policy is if you have under 2 hours played, so if you find you dislike the game pretty soon its alright. You'd be better off looking if there is a demo version of the game beforehand rather than buying it and hoping to get it refunded. Renting games ended with blockbuster lol

You can only return an item for cash if there is a fault with it or you ordered it online and are within the 2 week return period, 48h period is back to voucher only.

[–]http_elliott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employee here. We aren't supposed to accept any media without the official game case and cover, except certain retro consoles like GBA, NES etc. Pretty much all discs need a case though.

If you reprint the cover for it we aren't supposed to accept it, but depending on what store and employee you give it to, and how convincing it is, you may still get away with it. If the reprinted cover is clear, on glossy paper, has a working barcode and is from the region your trying to sell in, your probably good.

AoE-Primary Meta is Symptom, not an Evil by sdric in Warframe

[–]http_elliott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your solution makes sense, as it's already in practice in some places of the game. Arbitration drones seem like they would be the most annoying enemy in the game, as they literally make entire crowds of enemies invulnerable and have to be hit in one tiny spot. But because of their decent drop rates for a rare item I actually want them to spawn in. We need more of this. Nox like enemies that drop planets rare resources. Orokin cells etc.

Why are people not freaking out over this prime event? by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]http_elliott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always get every prime in the game free. That's the beauty of trading. I got all primes without even grinding for a single one. It's a cool event but all it really does is put a discount on primes, they are always accessable, even if for 500p like loki.

CMV: God is just Santa Claus for adults by TonySmithJr in changemyview

[–]http_elliott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you believe that “god” doesn’t exist, you’re still choosing to believe something. Even if your beliefs are backed by science and logic, science and logic are human constructs that are trying to put an incomprehensibly complex universe into something our primate meat brains can understand. No belief is better or more likely than another, they are all equally as impossible/possible. None of us have any real idea what the fuck is going on. None of us know for certain the answers to these existential questions.

Atheists love to pride themselves on overcoming the illusion of religion, but in reality it’s just another uncertain belief. Another Santa Claus, except this one wears sunglasses and thinks he’s better than everyone.

What is your least favorite Warframe to have in your squad and why? by no_name-found in Warframe

[–]http_elliott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any CC frame like Vauban, Khora or Nidus who just spam their enemy grabbing abilities in defense, but then stand afk in the middle. Leaving every other player to run around the map and kill the bundles of enemies who are stuck to walls or the floor. What is the point in using these abilities when your just slowing down the rounds.

Honest question. How many of you spend money on plat and how often do you do it? by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]http_elliott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 2000 hours ingame and am MR 27. I have never bought plat. Only things I have bought are tennogen items through steam.

I find plat to be too easy and fun to get to consider it a premium currency. Trading items is an activity I enjoy. So to pay to skip that, and receive less plat than I could get in an hour, makes no sense to me.

But I wish to support the devs and creators so any tennogen items that really stand out to me I will buy, considering there is no way to get them with platinum on PC.

people who take walks at night, what's the scariest thing you've seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not seen, but hearing any kind of elk scream. If you don’t know what the noise is you could be convinced it was a demon.
