Used to be good

Used to be good, sadly they now buy in bulk and donate quick flip to fans on whatnot knowing the fans will just pay over the top.

Don't bother putting a sell request in, they will not get back to you and when you keep chasing and finally get an answer they tell you they do not offer that service anymore.................well why is it still available on your website?

Thanks for your feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

We love being able to offer exciting, low-cost deals and regular giveaways to our community on Whatnot. It’s our way of giving back and keeping things exciting for our fans.

As for the "enquire to sell" function — you're absolutely right to flag that. Due to the high number of people wanting to bring items in, it became unsustainable for us to manage, so we’ve had to temporarily pause that service. We’re sorry for the confusion caused by it still appearing on our website, and we’re working on updating that. We do hope to bring it back in the future.

Thanks again for your understanding and support!

Disappointing Experience - Unfair Offers & Unprofessional Conduct

I came across this company on Facebook and was initially impressed - their videos made it seem like they offer fair prices for designer items. Unfortunately, my actual experience couldn’t have been more different.

I’ll give you one example: I took in a pair of size 9 Christian Louboutin Chelsea boots, worn once and in near-perfect condition - no scuffs, no visible wear, and complete with the original box and dust bags. Retail price? Around £1,100. Their offer? A shocking £150. Yes, seriously. When I declined, they smugly said, “We’re here until Sunday if you change your mind!” - as if I’d be okay with being insulted like that. I ended up selling them privately on eBay for £500 with no hassle.

To be fair, I let a few lowball offers slide on other items I brought in - accepted them just to avoid the trip being a total waste. But by the time they made that ridiculous offer on the Louboutins, I wasn’t having it. Enough was enough. If you’re looking to get anything close to a fair price, sell your items yourself - these guys are class A lowballers running on Certified Broke Energy.

To top it off, they accidentally paid me twice. Instead of handling the mistake professionally, they sent a message that was basically “pay us back or else.” No apology, no accountability - just aggressive and rude communication. I did return the money, but honestly, I’d have done it much faster had they spoken to me with even basic courtesy.

Luckily, this all happened during one of their London pop-ups, so I didn’t have to travel too far as I live in London myself. Prior to that, I was seriously considering heading down to Cornwall to visit their main location - thank goodness I didn’t. Based on the offers they gave me, I wouldn’t have even made back the cost of my train ticket.

All in all, my experience was disappointing and frustrating. Don’t be fooled by the slick social media - the reality is a lot less polished. And at the end of the day, you can’t polish a turd.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience — while it’s disappointing to hear, we do appreciate the honest feedback.

We’re genuinely sorry that your visit to our London pop-up didn’t meet your expectations. Our offers are based on market demand, resale value, and condition, but we fully understand that our price on the Louboutins wasn’t what you were hoping for. You were right to sell them elsewhere if that worked out better for you — that’s the nature of resale. We’re glad you were able to sell them for a price you were happy with.

As for the duplicate payment issue, we agree that it should’ve been handled more professionally. The intention was never to be rude or threatening — just to resolve it quickly — but we absolutely could’ve approached it with more courtesy. Thank you for returning the funds regardless.

We know social media can sometimes paint a more polished picture, and we’re working on making sure the in-person experience matches that level. We're not above criticism, and we do listen.

If you'd like to discuss anything further or offer additional feedback, feel free to reach out to us directly at orders@cbestore.co.uk. Either way, we appreciate you giving us a try and wish you the best with your future reselling.

Best regards,
CBE Stores Support Team

I purchased some items they had on auction via Whatnot an app they use to sell clothes no items were as described and they lied. I was appalled and disgusted by the customer service who failed to issue me with a full refund. Please stay away at all costs as they lie about the prices. They then had the audacity to say ‘for the inconvenience of this we have got your username down and to alert the streamers of your offers.’ I am outraged by this poor customer service please avoid them at all cost.

Shocking company avoid

Shocking company avoid, ordered a chain, took a over a week to arrive, was the wrong chain completely, rang the Falmouth office and explained and the person on the phone just laughed and said it was there supplier's fault as they send it out. Ask for refund and postage refund for both ways as I had to send it back recorded, only got one postage refunded, terrible company, terrible customer service, complained and still haven't had a response

Pricing

I had bought in some items valued at around £1300 altogether all brand new with tags. When I returned to get pricing they lowballed me for an offer of under £200. Please don't come here if you want reasonable value for your items

Thank you for your message — we’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the offer you received.

When assessing items, we consider several factors beyond just the retail value — including current market demand, resale trends, condition (even for new items), brand saturation, and how quickly we believe the items will sell. Even brand new pieces with tags may not always hold their original value, especially in the resale market, which moves fast and can fluctuate significantly.

That said, we understand that our offer of under £200 on items you valued around £1,300 felt far off the mark. That’s frustrating, and we respect your decision if you choose to sell them elsewhere.

Our aim isn’t to undervalue anyone’s items, but to offer fair prices that reflect today’s market conditions and allow for realistic resale. That said, we know this doesn’t always align with customer expectations, and we’re sorry the experience wasn’t what you hoped for.

If you’d like to discuss any specific items further or get more clarity on the valuations, feel free to contact us at orders@cbestore.co.uk — we’re happy to explain.

Kind regards,
CBE Stores Support Team

This company does not respect their customers, or their privacy online. DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP if you don't want to be posted all over social media, WITHOUT CONSENT.
I visited the CBE stores Falmouth to get some old jewellery priced. It wasn't worth much, wish is what I expected. I arrived home to find video footage posted of me all over their social media platforms mocking me for the amount I originally paid for said jewellery. The staff behind the desk did not make me aware I was being filmed, or ask to use footage of me on their social media. Even after many messages, which they have ignored, I am still on their social media. A basic visit to their shop has resulted in a horrible overall experience. This company does not respect their customers, or their privacy.

We're very sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration.

First and foremost, we want to sincerely apologise if you were filmed or featured on our social media without your knowledge or consent. That should never have happened, and it’s absolutely not the experience we want anyone to have when visiting us.

While we do occasionally film content in-store for social media, we aim to do so respectfully and in line with data protection and consent guidelines. If you were recorded without being informed, that’s a serious error on our part, and we’re committed to investigating how it happened.

Mocking or ridiculing customers is completely unacceptable and does not reflect the values we want to uphold at CBE Stores — online or in person. If any content was shared that made you feel uncomfortable or disrespected, we will review and remove it immediately.

Please email us directly at orders@cbestore.co.uk with the link(s) to the posts and any screenshots if you have them — this will help us locate the content quickly and take prompt action.

We truly regret the upset this has caused you, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Sincerely,
CBE Stores Support Team

London pop-up

Came in to the pop up store and met with the boys. Quality service and made solid offers on all my items. I could have gone to any other broker but I chose to wait for these guys and I'm glad I did. Will absolutely see them again with more stuff. Don't waste your time being low balled by other companies, just go to CBE
