It's great news that Cex is doing this. I'm a big fan of their shops/franchise. I only hope they will roll it out in stores and it's not just online. Seems they've added the UK's fourth ATM machine as well. I hope they add more throughout the UK.

A Glasgow store is the first in Britain to let people exchange their second-hand goods for the digital currency Bitcoin.
CeX, a chain that buys, sells and exchanges gadgets, will switch from the British pound to bitcoin in its Glasgow store for three days.
The scheme is partly designed to highlight the pressing issue of Scottish independence, with the country going to the polls in September to vote on leaving the UK.
CeX says this trial will offer an opportunity to show that the country could manage without the pound.
