The holiday shopping rush is underway, but what if there were a way to save even more than usual on top tech? Thankfully, there is. We’ve previously reviewed refurbished gadgets from Back Market, such as an iPad 10th Gen, and were impressed with the top-notch condition, despite it arriving in an obvious open-box state.

Back Market’s refurbished products undergo strict inspections and are professionally repaired, if needed — offering a more secure way to shop second-hand tech. It’s more foolproof than Facebook Marketplace or eBay, and it’s specially curated for the most sought-after tech products, like iPads, Apple Watches, tablets, laptops, and more.

If you’re shopping for second-hand tech this year, you’re in luck. Now through Dec. 18, Back Market is offering additional savings on the most giftable refurbished tech this year, like $35 off the PlayStation 5, $20 off the Nintendo Switch OLED, and $20 off the Apple Watch Series 10, and more. But don’t wait — these savings are first-come, first-served while supplies last, and only a limited number of codes are being allocated per item. When the promo codes are gone, they’re gone, and there aren’t many to go around. While 250 shoppers can save on the Watch Series 10, only 120 customers can grab extra savings on the PS5 system.
Save with limited-time codes
These limited codes are automatically applied at checkout, while supplies last, so you don’t need to worry about missing the deal when you add to cart. You can also score codes on the PlayStation 5 Slim, Nintendo Switch (2019), Apple Watch Series 9, and both models of the AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C and Lightning). But don’t wait — these gaming consoles have the fewest number of codes. Only 30 quick shoppers can save on a refurbished PS5 Slim or Nintendo Switch OLED.
Also: You can buy refurbished tech from Back Market in person now – here’s where
And if you’d prefer to shop in-store? If you’re located in or near New York City, you can. Back Market’s pilot store, which opened in October, is open at 449 Broadway in Manhattan through Dec. 21. Learn more here.
