Back Market UK price alerts: choose a target
A UK price alert compares a newly recorded GBP price with the amount you chose. Your threshold should represent a buying decision, rather than an arbitrary percentage discount.

Start from the final amount you can pay
Work backwards from your total budget. If you need a larger storage capacity or a different condition from the entry offer, leave room for that difference. Reaching an entry-price threshold does not establish the price of every variant.
Read the model's own range
Compare the latest UK reading, the average and the dated low. A target below every recorded amount can still express your budget, but the history offers no evidence that the model has reached it before.
An example, not an observed offer
If your illustrative budget is £300, entering £300 means you want a notification after a reading at or below £300. That example describes how the threshold works; it is not a price claim about a particular iPhone.
Act on the notification carefully
- Read the observation date in the message.
- Open Back Market UK and check the exact variant.
- Verify delivery and seller terms.
- Unsubscribe if you have bought the phone or no longer need the alert.
Indicative prices, not a guarantee
