I bought my 11 pro max from BM also only in fair condition and it came absolutely pristine, you wouldn't be able to tell it isn't brand new. No point overpaying for higher grades
@@Isthatalliyah oh yeah basically all backmarket is it’s a platform for sellers to sell their refurb tech on but yeah it is legit. Before buying anything however I would check who the actual seller is and their reviews if those are good then no need to overpay on pristine condition etc
Back Market is legit. I just wish there was a system in place to make the good or bad vendors more accountable. You just look at star ratings and hope most of them are authentic. Thanks for the video review.
The reason the fair one was in good condition, is because they ran out of fair condition phones and just downgraded it on paper to get the sale. you can't easily inventory the different grades when they run out due to them being used, this is to be expected, as they don't want to miss the sales. However you may still get one that is 'fair' if you buy one, so don't be disappointed.
I just bought an iPhone 14 Pro in fair condition and honestly, I had already seen 2 “good” condition iPhone SEs on back market and they looked brand new, so I figured buying a phone that might not even be a year old gives me a pretty good shot at getting a phone that literally looks brand new for a really good price.
Hello Lisan, I just started looking at Back Market and I'm very glad to find your channel. Thanks for your consistent and clear information and recommendations.
always check the speakers and the mics as well when looking things over and check both cameras to and get a camera stand as well would help alot other wise good video i noticed you had a stand but use it all the time makes things work better
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the fact that he spent money on all three of backmarkets options. Any1 who uses backmarket know they not cheap even tho they do have good prices 💯
Bought an iPad in GOOD condition, it arrived, looked absolutely perfect. Felt something on the left, it was the top lifting which means a swollen battery. When you turned it in, it shut down and restarted every 2 minutes until it looked like it turned off completely except for weird flashing . I had it for 1 hours before I removed it and sent it back. Refund requested, never back market again
although it's been a long time... would you mind sharing the specific sellers you had this good experience with? Just so we can have them in mind that these sellers are likely to provide a good experience in backmarket.
@@Kamogelo-g6h well, i went with a "B' tier iphone SE 2022, and indeed the screen and condition of the phone in general were great when it arrived, but unfortunately the charging port was already having slight poor-connection issues (it was a brand new cable, and i tried multiple cables to make sure it was the hone at fault and not an old cable). it was evident when using the 1/4"-to-lightning dongle one has to use with wired headphones-the track would suddenly stop as if the jack had been removed, while walking around. only happened a couple of times, but i don't want a new phone that's already doing that-it's why i ditched my previous phone. so, i returned it to back market and gave myself the best chance by getting a brand new upgrade SE '22 from EE. i wish apple would make a more reliable and long-lasting connector port.
Sadly not always like this. I am on my 2nd phone from BM. My last one was supposed to be good, but had scratches on all corners and around the camera area. Plus scratch on the screen. Returning it so we will see what happens. They ask customers to supply a series of 7 photos on return, but they do not supply the same for the customer to compare. They can easily say I damaged to phone to get out of their 12 month warranty.
I bought an iPhone 12 pro max in good condition there was a chip in the back camera and a chip on the front of the screen. Take your risk/luck on the condition of the phone. Reading the reviews I assumed it was gonna be in amazing condition and sadly it wasn’t the case. I was so excited I’m going to return it because of the camera. It was also at 88% battery life which isn’t the worst.
Dang that’s not good!! Ya sometimes it doesn’t come in the condition they said it would, returning it and getting a refund or asking for a replacement is a good idea 👍🏿
Cool video man, thanks for taking the risk for all us newbies out here! 😅❤ Seems like they’re all pretty decent what is it that makes a phone “fair condition “ if it’s barely noticeable? Is it just because it’s not flawless?
No problem! Based on what Back Market says, fair condition is supposed to have some noticeable scuffs and some scratches. It really depends on the vendor and how they determine what’s fair condition though. I may have gotten lucky!
eBay refurbished, and Amazon Renewed are the ones I trust. Would be interested to see what Backmarket offers. Liking eBay at the moment because they come with a one year warranty.
I got a note 9 from back market. It has 12 month warranty, the condition is good, no damage. It does feel it was put to get her a bit sloppy with something slightly moving inside but for 180€ I am happy
Dang I’m sorry about that! I’ve been getting a lot of similar comments, you may be right! I’ll have to do another video, I think they’re starting to care less about quality now!
Hey there, love the video can't seem to find many videos on it. Not trying to pick and prune but I feel like your content would be much higher quality if you added some background music and more sound. Not trying to hate just some feedback👍🏻
@@_danila5185 went good. I got the 12 mini from back market 3 days ago and I’m enjoying it. The batter capacity was at 86% and that’s the only thing I’m a little disappointed in. Overall though it is good
Bought an iphone 14 plus off Backmarket in good condition and it’s beautiful. Everything is perfect literally. It is a replaced screen so i don’t have true tone but, I’m content with that. It isn’t as bright as the original screen but its OLED screen really helps you see it clear as day during any time of day. Tested everything else out and in my opinion, $500 is not bad for a (2022??) phone. Other than that I’ve had 3 other great experiences off of backmarket. My airpod pro 2’s, 2 macbook pros, and my iphone 14 plus. All in amazing condition with literally NO scratches. Good condition on all.
Just purchased my 2022 SE for 383 out the door (fair condition + case and protector + 2 day shipping) let’s see how it goes I’m excited Edit: it’s 128 gb
none of the phones are below 80% however i think the excellent condition is at 100%, i bought a fair 8 plus years ago i remember it being at 94% and its still surviving today. use my code for $10 off 4cb0983418630cac
It’s impossible to recommend a particular seller because they change constantly as well as the prices. I’d read the reviews and go with hood or excellent condition
If I buy a refurbished iPhone I ordered it to be the highest grade, excellent. It will be a model F or M. The battery will be full of water and the box will remain original or any box and the battery after use. What do you think about it and do you advise me to buy it?
I brought an iPhone 12 on BackMarket for my older half sister and the phone came NEW, no scratches and battery was 100% ! The provider was “Love by Cellcome LTD” and I brought the phone on “Excellent” Definitely recommending to others 🙏
i was a lil skeptical because i bought an iphone 8 in 2020 in excellent condition and there were a few scratches which i was disappointed abt and i just bought an iphone 12 in good condition and was worried it would have a lot of cracks or scratches. this definitely made me feel a lot better
@@sweetly6588 hey, i got the phone n got grounded. im getting it in a couple days. it was good, a little scratch on the camera but its barely noticeable and the screen is flawless. ill update you when i set it up
What is the battery life of most of the phones on back market I wanna buy one. Is there a specific percentage number for the battery that is good and not good. I've been android all my life so my 1st iphone hopefully lol
I've bought an excellent condition renewed iphoneX off Amazon. The phone initially looked great. No scratches or cracks and the phone itself looked brand new. However, I went to check out everything and found that the battery was only 80%. But it gets worse, I noticed some glue sticking out from the camera lens, and found that a cheap lens had been glued on there and small air bubbles got trapped inside which created a bad camera quality for me. Then, i noticed that my audio didn't work nearly as it was supposed to. I returned it and got my money back though, and I'm sure others have had better luck than I did with Amazon.
@@graceifishing oh damn I'm sorry to hear that I got a pixel 5 and it looks great and functions great 167 but yes the battery is at 85ish I think but it's a used phone so there has to be some wear .
@cobaltblue5523 yeah I ordered an iPhone XS off back market and it arrived today. It had more scratches than I’d planned for, but for the cost it’s a great phone. I think I’d buy off back market again over Amazon renewed.
hey i’m thinking of buying a new phone maybe the iphone 13 refurbished but i’d rather have a higher battery health but do u think 80% would be good enough?
Hey, im thinking of buying an iphone 12 pro max 512gb from backmarket, and in fair condition. Any advice? I really dont want it to be in bad condition and bad battery health

When you buy phone with very good condition does that affect only the outside look or battery aswell in backmarket?

While watching I was wondering have you considered giving them away?
It’s always pot luck buying phones this way, I’ve bought 4 in all and two pristine and two sent back , always check genuine parts are used

I ordered it to be the highest grade, excellent. It will be a model F or M. The battery will be full of water and the box will remain original or any box and the battery after use. What do you think about it and do you advise me to buy it?
Battery full of water? What does that mean
Where do we check the battery health at their online shop??
I got an iPhone SE 2020 from Gazelle actually and it looks great and the battery health is at 82%
do the iPhones from blackmarket have genuine displays and cameras? or just aftermarket ones
I believe they don’t use original apple parts
depends a lot might have a cheaper battery
Some vendors do and some don’t
