What is the crossed-out price on an item?

The crossed-out price is a reference price provided by the seller. It helps you compare the price on Back Market with the price of a new or similar item.

How is the crossed-out price calculated?

It corresponds to either the manufacturer's suggested retail price for a new item or the average price of the same item sold new by various online retailers. Since each seller sets their own reference price, prices may vary between websites and sellers.

How is the crossed-out price calculated if the item is no longer sold new?

Some refurbished electronics are no longer available to buy new from other retailers. In those cases, the seller may use the price they typically charge for a similar item as the reference price.

Rest assured: Back Market works diligently with sellers to get the fairest, most accurate comparison prices possible.
