Meet the mayor of CeX Complete Entertainment Exchange

Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in their natural habitats.

meet Kelvin Maynard, Jr., the mayor of CeX

 Kelvin Maynard, Jr.
CeX Complete Entertainment Exchange

Your all-time best find?

A flip cell phone that would have been about $300 from AT&T. I got it for about $120 from CeX. The only reason I don’t still have it is I lost it, but it was a really good phone.

I liken the basement to a landfill of pop culture. What say you?

I would think of that old saying “One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure.” There are a lot of people who have never seen certain shows who can pick them up at CeX. If somebody’s never seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer, they can find the old seasons. The only issue I have with the place is there are so many people coming in to turn their old stuff in and buy stuff, there are often long lines.

Do they sell Joe Don Baker love dolls?

I don't think so. I know I've seen a Paris Hilton one.

Every time I buy DVDs or games, I end up talking about them with whoever's behind the counter for five minutes.

That’s true. It’s a give and a take. They should open up separate registers downstairs to deal with the overflow, or if they had more employees on the floor instead of at the counter, they’d get more people in and out.
