What price target should you set on a refurbished iPhone?
Turn your budget into a threshold worth watching, from the current price, the lowest recorded and the average observed on Back Market US.
Thresholds are computed on Back Market US readings and stay in USD. An alert placed here watches the US catalogue only.
Indicative prices, not a guarantee
From budget to alert
Turn a budget into a threshold that means something
A target is only useful when it sits inside the range a model has actually reached on Back Market US.
Suggested target price
$380
I can wait: aim for 5 % below the current price. That is $21 below the current price (5 %). It is not a forecast: it is a clear threshold to watch.
Current price$401
Lowest recorded$397
Average recorded$416
The alert form lets you adjust the suggested threshold before saving it.
The current price is placed inside the model's own history. A target is still a budget decision, not a prediction that the price will fall.
How to read the result
A threshold is a budget decision, not a forecast
Aiming just below today's price gets you an alert quickly but saves little. Aiming at the lowest ever recorded may never fire again — that amount was reached once, under conditions that may not return.
The middle option is usually the useful one: a few percent below the current price is a move the model has already made several times in its recorded history.
Common questions
Setting a threshold you will not regret
Does the tool predict future prices?
No. It uses readings already recorded to place today's price. Stock, seller and variants can all change after a reading, and nothing here forecasts what happens next.
Does the price cover every storage size and grade?
No. Tracking is based on the visible entry price. Before buying, always check the storage, cosmetic grade, battery health and the final price of the offer.
What should I do if the price is still too high?
Set an alert at the amount that would make you buy. You get an email after a reading that reaches or falls below that threshold.
