Cex Macau near MTB departures is where old phones go
This branch of Cex Macau sits in the departures shopping zone at Macau International Airport (MFM) in terminal MTB, past security and immigration. It’s a used-electronics specialist, so you’ll see racks of second-hand phones, tablets, cameras and gaming gear rather than travel souvenirs. Prices on older iPhones and Android handsets often undercut the big chains in town by 10–20%, based on local reports, but stock is hit-or-miss.
Opening hours typically track flight banks, roughly 08:00 to 22:00, though exact times are not clearly published on the airport site and can shift with the schedule. Expect clearly tagged prices in MOP and HKD, and bring a passport if you plan to sell or trade in a device; staff in Macau Cex shops usually ask for ID on buybacks over a small threshold. Card payments are standard, but keep some cash in case terminals glitch during busy departure waves.
Cex’s core game is buying and selling used electronics, so you can offload a spare phone or Nintendo Switch before boarding from MTB, instead of hauling it home. Don’t expect deep accessory stock: you’ll see a small rack of cables, chargers and used headphones, not a full wall of brand-new gear. Check condition grades on the price tags (A, B, C) and ask to power on anything in the B or C range before you hand over MOP.
One practical tip: leave at least 15 minutes before boarding if you’re browsing here, as walk times from the central MTB shopping area to the far gates can run 7–10 minutes and queues form quickly at final security checks.
