Frequently asked questions
About our product
How RecommerceIQ works and what to expect
What device grades (or aesthetic conditions) does RecommerceIQ offer?
Our grades are 5: Brand New, Like New, Very good, Good, Acceptable. Since we grow organically with our clients, we are open to extend our grades including also the Damaged grade in case it makes sense. Learn more in Aesthetic Grading and Grading Standards.
What refurbished and used products does RecommerceIQ track?
We track pricing across multiple product categories, including smartphones, tablets, PCs (desktops and laptops), and smartwatches. Our global and modular platform allows us to easily expand into new categories for refurbished devices.
What kind of product information can RecommerceIQ capture for me?
RecommerceIQ tracks product variant prices including grade along with extra details like shipping costs, seller information, ratings and further product details available on the website.
How can RecommerceIQ offer reliable competitors pricing data in the secondary market?
We approach price updates from websites with caution. To provide our clients with consistent, reliable data in the secondary market for consumer electronics, we use multiple layers of automated algorithms to detect and exclude outliers.
What if our competitors' standard product identifiers (UPCs, ASINs, EANs, or MPNs) are not reliable?
We've developed innovative algorithms using advanced technology that identifies other vendors for your products in multiple ways. Our process includes both automated and semi-automated validation to ensure accuracy, allowing us to find competitors even if they don't use any of the standard product identifiers.
Is it legal to monitor competitors, and will they know I'm tracking their pricing data?
It is legal to track publicly available information. However, many websites try to block automated traffic. To minimize detection, we monitor from servers distributed globally. When traffic is flagged, we employ automated techniques to avoid bans. Learn more about how competitor price monitoring works and what is ethically feasible.
How often does RecommerceIQ collect new pricing data?
Our scrapers search for new competitor data daily, so you'll notice more matches accumulating in your account over time.
How long does it take to implement RecommerceIQ?
If you're using our APIs, we've had clients go live within 1-2 business days. But if you're accessing the RecommerceIQ dashboard for market intelligence, pricing, or competitor analysis, you can start using it right away for existing markets!
How much does RecommerceIQ cost?
Our prices start from 499€ a month. The price depends if you want to access to Trade-in/Buyback data and Resale data, how many product categories you want to track within RecommerceIQ, how many different markets you're on and whether only the RecommerceIQ market intelligence dashboard is purchased or also the API service. You can always request a price that suits your needs.
About recommerce
Industry context and market knowledge
What is recommerce?
Recommerce (or re-commerce) is the buying, selling, and trading of previously owned consumer goods — typically electronics like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It covers the full lifecycle of used and refurbished devices, from trade-in collection and grading through to refurbishment and resale. The sector has grown rapidly as consumers and businesses seek more affordable and sustainable alternatives to buying new.
How big is the refurbished electronics market?
The global refurbished and used smartphone market alone is on track to exceed 350 million units annually. The broader refurbished electronics market — spanning tablets, laptops, and wearables — is valued at tens of billions of euros. Europe and North America are the largest markets, with platforms like Back Market, Amazon Refurbed, and eBay driving mainstream adoption.
What is the difference between refurbished, used, and certified refurbished?
A used device is sold as-is, with no testing or repairs. A refurbished device has been inspected, cleaned, and repaired to meet a defined quality standard. Certified refurbished devices go through a more rigorous process — typically carried out by or on behalf of the original manufacturer — and usually come with a warranty.
How do you price refurbished electronics competitively?
Competitive pricing for refurbished electronics requires monitoring competitor prices across multiple resale platforms in real time, adjusting for device grade, storage capacity, colour, and age using condition-based pricing. Most professional resellers use dynamic pricing strategies that automatically update prices based on competitor movements and inventory levels.
What is dynamic pricing in the refurbished market?
Dynamic pricing is an automated repricing approach where prices are continuously adjusted based on real-time market data — competitor prices, demand trends, and stock levels. In recommerce, it helps resellers stay competitive without manually checking platforms. Effective dynamic pricing requires grade-aware logic, since the same device model can carry very different prices at different quality grades.
What factors affect the price of a used smartphone?
Key factors include the device model and storage capacity, aesthetic condition grade (e.g. Like New, Good, Acceptable), functional status, network lock status, colour, and the platform it is listed on. Market-wide supply and demand — driven by new device launches, seasonal trends, and competitor stock movements — also play a significant role.
How does a trade-in or buyback program work?
In a buyback or trade-in program, a retailer or platform offers customers money in exchange for their old device. The device is assessed for condition, graded, and a value is offered. The business then refurbishes and resells it or passes it downstream. Pricing offers competitively is critical — offer too little and customers go elsewhere; offer too much and margins erode.
What is the difference between trade-in and buyback?
Trade-in typically refers to exchanging an old device as part credit towards a new purchase. Buyback is an outright purchase of a used device, with no new device sale attached. Both require accurate condition assessment and market-aware pricing to be profitable.
How do resellers track competitor prices in the secondary market?
Professional resellers use price comparison engines to monitor competitor listings across platforms like Back Market, Amazon Refurbed, eBay, and Swappa. These tools aggregate prices by model, grade, and storage — giving a real-time view of the secondary market. Without automated price monitoring, it is impossible to react quickly enough to market movements across hundreds or thousands of SKUs.
