The drops that matter.

We compare each model’s last starting-price reading in this edition with its last reading on the previous calendar day, in the market’s time zone. If either day has no reading, no daily change is calculated. Ranking uses the cash decrease, not a seller’s advertised discount.

Good time: the price is in the bottom 35% of its observed range. Usual price: between 35% and 70%. Wait: above 70%. We use up to 90 days of history, with at least seven days of tracking and two price changes required for a verdict. Waiting does not guarantee a future drop.

We track a model’s starting price, not a fixed storage, condition, battery and seller combination. A change can reflect a different available offer. Check these details on Back Market before buying; price alone does not establish stock levels or phone quality.

Each new edition appears at this same address, dated using real readings. Bookmark it to compare the next report. For a particular model, a free email alert tells you when the recorded price reaches your threshold; it is not a subscription to this report.
