How to track an iPhone price on Back Market: 4 methods compared
Back Market shows a current price, not the model's past price movement. If you want to know whether today's price is good, you need a way to preserve history.

Method 1: check manually
Manual checking works only if you are consistent. The problem is timing: refurbished prices can dip briefly and recover before your next visit.
Method 2: keep a spreadsheet
A date and price in each row can create a useful history. The weakness is missing data. One forgotten week can be exactly the week when the price moved.
Method 3: use a browser extension
Extensions can help across many stores, but coverage for marketplace configurations varies. They also start history only after installation.
Method 4: use a dedicated tracker with alerts
A dedicated tracker records the public price at a regular interval and keeps the observations. The history already exists when you arrive, and the alert turns it into an email only when your threshold is reached.
What no method can guarantee
- Predicting the next drop with certainty.
- Guaranteeing the final checkout price.
- Recovering prices from before tracking began.
- Tracking every exact variant when only the model entry price is observed.
Indicative prices, not a guarantee
