Since an image contains EXIF presenting camera and lens serial numbers, the imprinted numeral is moot. Not that having it rub off isn't annoying, but the shop's rationale is empty.

Good luck!

Cex staff do not know enough to deal with phones and tablets (their most popular mechandise) properly, never mind cameras.

From the company's point of view, additional trouble such as getting the SNO out of the camera's internal storage and dealing with the complications expected in their selling it on should be avoided - training staff to deal with this properly is much too costly, and potential customers cannot be trained. Hence I can understand this thing being in the official policy.
