Buyback Price Index
Market Intelligence
A buyback price index is a benchmark that aggregates and tracks the offered buyback prices for specific device models across multiple platforms and operators over time, providing a real-time or near-real-time view of market value for used devices.
For resellers and refurbishers, a buyback price index serves as a reference for sourcing decisions - determining whether to acquire devices through buyback programmes or alternative channels. For platforms, it enables competitive positioning. Indices are typically segmented by device model, storage variant, condition grade, and geography. RecommerceIQ's price intelligence engine aggregates buyback prices across 30+ platforms to generate a live index for European, UK and US markets.
