Customer reviews for Gifts for gamers

This is my 5th purchase with backmarket and I have been impressed every turn. The switch came with everything I could have needed including the wrist clips for the joycons. I waited to review until I’d had time to see the hard/software for what it truly was being refurbished. Of course the body and controllers had a few noticeable scratches on them but it was all able to be polished up a bit. All in all another great purchase. Thank you backmarket for saving the tech!

Back Market was good as always. Great condition. Honestly, I’m a little surprised it was because the third party who packed up the refurbished Switch shipped it in a padded mailing envelope. No box, just bubble wrap and a bubble mailer.

PS3 arrived very clean almost like new! Controller works fine, only had to change the charging cable the one that came with it is finicky. Used a different cable and all great now! Very satisfied and tell my coworkers about Backmarket all of the time. As a matter of fact typing this review on a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Very happy with my purchase! I was worried because the listing didn’t mention that the dock came with it and the support team got back to me in 24 hours with a guarantee that it would be included. I love buying refurbished items!

Refurbished ought to mean that the unit was factory reset. But my PS5 arrived with the accessibility features turned on, and an existing user account and Wi-Fi network saved in memory. That's not refurbished, folks. That's straight used. Factory resets matter. Come on. The unit is great, like new, and runs cool. But whatever advantage BackMarket offers over eBAY was not existent in this transaction. And wasn't this PS5r supposed to include a controller? No? Well, it didn't.

Everything was great, like new, expet for the joy cons which are known to age poorly. The controlls are a little soft the the right hand one is a little loose when attached to the switch. I can clean them up with some isoporpal alcahol or get factory new joy con replacements elsewhere but still disappointed that I have to do some refurbishing myself when I got excellent quality.

This is the first time I've gotten a refurbished product that definitely works like it's brand new! I was looking for something to start gaming and streaming (not professionally but I want to try) and it's been amazing in that and helping with game development as well. I got very fortunate that I happened to see this product just when I was about to give up the search. I highly recommend both this company and Back Market in general!

Shipped fast & arrived in excellent condition! One puzzling thing: it unexpectedly came with a grip for the Joy-Con controllers, which is cool except there’s no port on it to connect the charging cable. I guess this was just a defect when it was made & it’ll still work if you want to use it as a controller grip only, but I must say I felt insane trying to figure out where & how it plugged in!) Otherwise, it was pretty easy to connect everything, set up a Switch account & I successfully downloaded Minecraft so it looks like it’s good to go. Since I got this as a Christmas gift for my young son, I didn’t think however about the fact that it wouldn’t come in a box, so I still have to think about how I can still give him that “wow” factor when he opens it, but yeah- I was already a fan of refurbished electronics and Back Market did not disappoint!

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 has been perfect for my research in genomics. I’ve used it extensively for computational analysis—handling large datasets, running models, and mapping flows in R/python . It’s fast, reliable, and has kept up with every demanding task I’ve thrown at it. Solid choice for anyone doing serious data work. Oh and it works as new too. Always go for the Excellent condition
