### 1/5 — iPhone

*2026-08-30, version 5.67*

I don’t recommend the phone gave me a lot off issues and I just received item on 8/26/26

### 5/5 — Es la tercera vez que compro

*2026-08-29, version 5.67*

Aún no me llega pero ya han pasado tres años que compre mi Mac, 2 mi Apple Watch y ahora unos beats. Me encanta, lo recomiendo mucho.

### 1/5 — Trade in scam

*2026-08-28, version 5.67*

Do not send these guys your phone to sell. I shipped my phone which got lost on their side and they refused a refund and called me a scammer.

### 2/5 — Great service, bad Experience

*2026-08-28, version 5.67*

Great machine was delivered for price and content was at first glance as expected.  Then I am having trouble with iCloud the device may not have been removed completely from the original owner. I am possibly going to ask for a refund or replacement device. Will update this review to 5 stars on resolution. Machine works but says MacBook Air De Matthew no matter what language I have installed.

### 5/5 — Sizden birkaç iPad sipariş ettim bir de telefon çok güzeldi çok beğendim

*2026-08-27, version 5.67*

Çok da beğendim

### 1/5 — no thanks, won’t be me getting scammed next.

*2026-08-27, version 5.67*

after reading all the real human reviews after the apps “favorites” started glitching and not popping up when hearted. seems sketchy and i will not be buying from you guys, im going to walmart instead. if theres more bad reviews then good reviews theres an issue.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-27, version 5.67*

I’m starting a new business and I really needed a laptop to get everything off of my phone. I was super worried about buying a refurbished computer from a random app that I found but the computer came in and it’s been nothing but amazing and to think I was gonna buy a $1500 computer

### 1/5 — It’s a gamble

*2026-08-26, version 5.67*

Got 2 phones from BackMarket. The first one works as a backup (battery isn’t the best). The other boots up, then heats up and shuts down on its own. 1 year warranty? Sure, I sent it in for repair. No luck it came back the way it was. Waste of time and money. I wouldn’t buy from BackMarket again.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2026-08-25, version 5.67*

I was a bit sceptical about this app at first, but honestly, I’ve had such a good experience! I bought an iPad and AirPods from there and saved so much money. The quality was really good too! x

### 5/5 — Bought an IPhone 17 256g

*2026-08-25, version 5.67*

Got this phone came in like 3-5 days very fast, bought it in good condition turns out it came flawless. Even came with a free case and charger. The only thing which would be nice if they added the original Apple box but otherwise 10/10 would defo recommend.
