"My first experience with this business was on Wednesday the 15th of February"
"it says on posters instant cash, not true i took a couple of old phones [1 samsung and 1 motorola] and they said they would have to check them out, fair enough, told me they could not use one because it was locked and impossible to unlock [i have since unlocked it] this was on tuesday night, i went back the following tuesday and then was told they could not pay me because i did not have picture id, this was not mentioned initially that i would need it, i went back the following saturday with my passport and they said they could not give me the money because i did not have any id with my address on it again i was not told i needed it i told the girl behind the counter i had brought it the previous week"
"I went in today to sell two high end headphones, one of which CeX determined was B grade despite it clearly being 'A' grade"
"After calling in & selecting a phone I was told to come into the shop when I had made up my mind to consider my purchase & a member of staff would help me “set it up” from my old phone to the one I was intending to purchase"
"Hi called in about a week ago asked who I believe is Tom “why is my phone not holding its charge?” He checked my battery & told me I needed a new one as mine no longer was working as it should & then preceded to not only tell me to go to the Apple store he checked how much it would cost there & how long I would have to wait & also gave me directions on how to get there! What I find is so remarkable about this store is their GENUINE helpfulness, he never once tried to sell me one of his phones (which he could have done) he & his staff are so helpful I just can’t praise them enough! If & when I have some money to upgrade my phone I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one from Trade Me In knowing I’d be well looked after"
My first experience with this business was on Wednesday the 15th of February. I was looking to trade in my copy of Pokemon Ultra Sun. The service at the til was done by an employee by the name of, Niahm, I believe (apologies if i'm mistaken). The experience was very pleasant one. Friendly, patient and gracious as I bumbled around( like usual) and since my phone's internet was playing up I could not provide ID despite asking for cash in exchange. I was allowed to bring ID the next time. Once our interaction was finished I was left with an impressive first impression. My second experience was on 17th of February when I wanted to trade in my copies of Final Fantasy 7 and 9. They were not accepted as the store does not sell PS1games which is fair enough. In the end we did settle for selling a copy of High School Musical 3 for Nintendo DS. The interaction was like the first was an acommodating one. I forgot to ask the server's name but congratulations on the Baby Bank certificate by the way. 18th of February was my next visit in which I came to trade my RTX 3070ti. I did bring my order invoice with me this time but mister photographic memory accidently left the folder containing it on the bus. The graphics card needed to be tested and was left at the store and once again I was allowed to present ID again at later date. Today is the 19th and I will be coming in to collect either the amount agreed upon or my card should it fail. Regardless, I suspect my time here will be no different that the previous three times interacting with this business. Most of my purchases made are online (as one will see later today with the amount of invoices I bring). I have heard before over the years that it is important to support their local businesses and this week has taught me to truly appreciate that message thanks to Trade Me In and it's class staff. TL;DR ---- Do yourself a favour and visit the store. By Daniel Sales
it says on posters instant cash, not true i took a couple of old phones [1 samsung and 1 motorola] and they said they would have to check them out, fair enough, told me they could not use one because it was locked and impossible to unlock [i have since unlocked it] this was on tuesday night, i went back the following tuesday and then was told they could not pay me because i did not have picture id, this was not mentioned initially that i would need it, i went back the following saturday with my passport and they said they could not give me the money because i did not have any id with my address on it again i was not told i needed it i told the girl behind the counter i had brought it the previous week. i was told to come back in 20 minutes i returned only to be told to come back in 10 minutes, i returned 20 minutes alter only to be asked to wait because the guy who checked it was not there, he turned up after 5 more minutes i was given £22 and told they did not have enough money in the till, waited two more minutes and was paid the remaining £10, hardly instant cash. so 11 days and 37 minutes later i got the money, i was not desperate for the cash just wanted rid of the old phones, so if yu are wanting instant cash go elsewhere. p.s. not once was the word sorry used by them.
I went in today to sell two high end headphones, one of which CeX determined was B grade despite it clearly being 'A' grade. I was intending to drive to the CeX store at White Rose as I expected them to rate both as 'A'. Walking through the St. John's Centre to get back to my car, I see Trade Me In, which I'd never been in before, and thought there's no way they could compete with CeX, but it wouldn't hurt to see what the price was. After going back in after 45 minutes for testing, I came out with £25 more than CeX were quoting for their 'A' grades, and about £50 more than if I had accepted the offer for one of them being listed as 'B'. The whole process of handing the stuff over and getting a price (subject to testing) and a membership card took less than five minutes but the best thing was how genuinely pleasant and enthusiastic the staff were! They also have a good selection of tech and games, too, albeit smaller than CeX given the size of the store. I will definitely be making this the first stop in the future!
After calling in & selecting a phone I was told to come into the shop when I had made up my mind to consider my purchase & a member of staff would help me “set it up” from my old phone to the one I was intending to purchase. I called the next day (28 feb 2020) & spoke to a young man who spent nearly TWO HRS doing just that. I am a 63yr old lady with little or no sense of technology & this young man stayed by my side & guided me through every aspect of changing from one phone to another without making me feel in any way that I was taking up his time which I definitely was. He deserves a medal for the way in which he dealt with me I just can’t imagine even members of my family having the patience to accommodate me in this way. I didn’t catch his name but I would like to say THANK YOU for all your help & advice & also thank you to every member of the staff that I came into contact with they were fantastic

One of my favourite shops ever !! I’m support worker for people with learning disabilities and one of my client is a big fun of movies and games and if he could he would go there all the time ! Staff members there are extremely nice , friendly , patient and kind they always make my client welcome and I know we can always go there and not feel not welcome ! I also use this shop my self and could not ask of more friendly and professional team . Would 10000% recommend this shop!!
Every time time I come into this wonderful place the staff are always super friendly, and always ready to answer my queries. If you want professional service with a smile, this is the place to be They do the best trade in deals and many of their items are a better price than most stores. With most games/movies its a trip down memory lane whether I buy something or not. And its never a case of waiting in the queue until the cows come home!!!
Love this store. Staff are friendly, place is clean, everything in order. Even when I go to purchase a game or movie they clean disc when it's dirty which is amazing. They have fair prices items too for example went to cex to buy a game saw it was expensive but in trade me in they have fair prices. If anyone is looking for a good place to trade games, dvds consoles and ect. Trade me in is the one for you.
Breathtaking place, breathtaking people. Better than that other red place as it doesn’t smell and the people are all nice. And their prices are not insane too :) 2021 update: still the most poggers store in Leeds and possibly the whole world however I heard the Goodwill Thrift Store & Donation Center in Atlanta is quite good but I am yet to visit. Best prices and prettiest staff too. I love you
This helpful store has always let my fiancée browse Animal Crossing Amiibo cards to her heart's content! Always friendly and willing to answer any questions you might have. I've personally seen the staff handle quite challenging customers very well, which is to their credit. My only improvement would be to have a dedicated horror movie section, but that's my personal bias talking ahaha!
Went in today to buy a camera and was welcomed by the nicest sales team I’ve ever met. What really impressed me was Ben took the extra step to ensure my satisfaction. They took a picture of me with the camera so I could see its quality firsthand. Not only did Ben capture a great shot, but Ben also made sure I was happy with the camera's performance.I was sold after 2 mins!!
Really lovely members of staff, easy to access hand sanitizer, lovely displays that seem to get fresher and spark the inner child in me, If youre a new gen gamer or 90's kid you do not wanna miss this place out! Also!!! This place gives more than CEX for cash and exchange why not chat to the lovely crew at TMI and get some big bucks for your old goodies! My name is deez
As a regular at Trade Me In, I cannot emphasise enough how lovely every single member of staff is within the store. They're incredibly patient and resilient and clearly enjoy their work environment. They're enthusiastic about what they do and are always striving to do more, including giveaways. A big shout out to Tom, Kerri, Sam and Harry who were all in store today!
Thank you so much too John Harry and Sam for your kind and so welcoming experience today I will be coming back for years too come thank you for eveything today you are the best ever. Thank you so much for helping me with everything today my old xbox one. My games.and my controller. I am loving my new xbox series x. This is the best store ever
Always pass by to see what preowned offerings are available. A nicer vibe than CEX, but also an internet deadzone for anybody wanting to do price comparisons with Ebay/TradingGroups/Other stores. Staff are always pleasant, and i do really appreciate the hand drawn game case covers for games missing their cases! It's the little things.
Great service and brilliant staff! Our experience with Trade Me In has always been really positive and we had another positive customer experience again today. We will definitely go back again and highly recommend this great store and staff team who go above and beyond to help - they also really know their stuff!
I'd been looking for a new lens for my camera having looked I several shops and no luck I thought I'd have a look in Trade me in and found just what is I was looking for. The lens cost me £99.95 and worked perfectly. The member of staff that served was very helpful.
The best place to go for gamers! Although a relatively new store compared to it's competitors, Trade Me In offer the best prices on trade-ins and have lots of cool merchendise in store. Without a doubt, definitely my favourite store for Technology now.
Bought ps4 today and a game separate. The ps4 came with 4 controllers got home to find I only got 1 and the game doesn't work. Very very dissapointed. First and last time I purchase anything from this place. I'd rather pay extra and go Argos or currys
I came into the Leeds TradeMeIn on Monday to sell some items such as my old S10 and Nintendo Switch. Kerri and Tom were both really helpful and supporrive throughtout the process and even offered alternatives to sell the remaining items and
I wish i could score no stars , huge liers ive been buying here for years had 4 phones from here 3 of which were faulty but not a problem was refunded all 3 times bought a ps4 a week ago and it just stopped working so took it back today and
Rude staff and expensive!! Whilst walking around all I heard were the 2 people behind the counter talking about how wastes they'd got the night before and how hungover they were. I ended up buying the XBox one X I was looking fro from CEX!!
Not been in the shop myself yet but been recommended by a friend of mine who went in for me a while back was told the staff were very polite and helpful and the prices we're really good highly recommend checking it out!! :)
I shop here often and the staff are so helpful and friendly. My boyfriend makes me stare at the steelbooks on the back wall with him but that's okay because the layout is awesome and I enjoy the interactions with staff.
Always have an amazing experience with Trade Me In. Staff are considerate and always willing to explain items in detail. Prices are affordable and are my go to Trade in store. I recommend Trade Me In to everyone I know!
Wish they had a wider selection of PS2 games, but I understand why they don't. Most people probably aren't going in there looking for them. Decent selection of Xbox 360 games though. Will be going in again …
Used trade Me in many times in the past for both trading and purchasing, and never had a problem that wasn't solved. Staff are usually very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for the good experiences guys. …
Some of the best games sold and trade in's. I was looking for a Nintendo 3DS game and I found the Trade In store and they had the right game that I was hoping to get and it was very cheap, Thank you Trade In...
Decent prices, decent staff, decent stock honestly can't complain. Got out of gaming a while ago and trying to get back in, I'll be getting it all from here. League above cex and the other game shops in town.
For a few months now, this has been the best place for older laptop upgrades. Plenty of ssd drives sata or m.2 nvme, as well as ddr3 and ddr4 memory cards. Good variety for enthusiasts. Well worth a look.
The best trade in store i have ever been to if you need some cash and you have spare gadgets lying around you no longer need or want take right to trade me in in Leeds I would give ten stars if I could
They are so amazing here they were so helpful and the customer service is so good they even read me a bedtime story with warm milk and cookies then gave me a goodnight kiss would recommend for anyone.v
Been going here since they opened, and I love it. The shop is well stocked, the staff know their stuff, and are eager to help you with any queries you may have! Keep up the good work guys!
Trade me in is a great shop that has really good service never been let down with the prices and they have a lot of things to buy like games, movies, tv shows and also gaming consoles
Fantastic service every time I visit, whether trading, selling or buying. The staff are really friendly and helpful. I don't use CEX anymore as the service there doesn't even compare.
Itook brand new switch consol gave to them they said its faulty u need to return it where did u get it from iknew it was working fine and same item when i gave to cex its working fine
Just been in today and was served by very friendly and easy going staff members! Everything was completed really quick and fast. Will be coming back again to get some switch games!
Excellent service with friendly staff. Competitive prices too as I got a really good deal trading in a 2DS XL for a boxed Switch Lite. Would definitely recommend this store …
I went yesterday to sell my husband’s Apple Watch and the staff were brilliant. A big THANK YOU to SAM which was so helpful with me. I would highly recommend this store.
Great little shop. Purchased a gaming laptop from TradeMeIn in perfect condition and amazing price. Staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. CEX better watch out!
The staff are very friendly and helpful, i would recommend this game store to anyone who needs anything from ps4 to xbox and even to pc parts. And at great price
Went in today to sell PS4 controller and got a really good price nice polite staff too. Games a little cheaper than other gaming shops will definitely go again
Lovely staff - I was served by the person whose favourite Nintendo character is Link and better prices for exchanging and buying than cex …
One of the staff members literally stares at me like a hawk when I'm in this store - he will be side-eyeing and directly staring at my hands. It's bizarre.
The most helpful and understanding staff i have ever met, apart from harry. They had exactly what i was looking for: Looney Tunes Back in action on DVD!!
I use these guys fairly regular for my gaming, Mac and random needs. Always a great help and willing to go that extra mile to help. Cheers guys / girls.
Sold my iPhone XR today in the Leeds store. I was impressed by how the shop team dealt with the transaction. Great customer service without any issues.
Visited today and got four games for a great price. It's one of the few shops that still sell second-hand Wii Games. Staff were also very friendly.
Joke of a shop...tried to trade my immaculate PS3 in. They offered £26 Took it to CEX £60 right there.. Get yourself to CEX instead …
Each time I have been to the store the staff have been friendly and helpful. My son also likes coming here to spend his pocket money.
great atmosphere and employees! helped me buy and sell many games Would recommend if you’re in Leeds if you need help! …
Very cool place to visit. Been a few times now. Cool staff. Cool store. And if trading they beat anywhere local on prices.
Bought a dragon z DVD from here. Very good value. Staff were awesome. Found out I won a prize of 2 blue rays the next day.
Love coming in here to buy steelbooks. Staff are always very friendly when I ask to look at them :) great prices also!
Nice little store which has prices that are pretty cheap compared to CEX which is just outside the center!
Great staff always welcoming. Great selection of items. First port of call anytime we are in Leeds.
Lovely place, full of friendly, kind and helpful people. Better prices than CeX on all items too :)
Decent prices compared to CEX, too much space dedicated to DVDs, very limited retro gaming.
Great local store that gives better trade in/cash for your goods than the chain competitor
Staff are great, prices are better than CEX. Clean, bright, tidy, lovely place to shop.
Clean and tidy staff very knowledgeable but for the items I was after not many in
I can find anything here that I want. The staff are amazing & very Friendly.
Best trade in shop I would not go anywhere else apart from trade me in
Friendly staff and everything is easy to find I give this 5 stars :)
Excellent all games and dvds and phones etc are reasonably priced
Really good place. Extremely cheap anime too. Great store.
Great shop, get a 5% discount for NHS staff
They give you a fair price for trade ins.
Excellent choice of DVDS. 100%
Friendly staff. Ok prices
