The coolest girls you know are making cyber decks: Custom-built personal computers, often with retro future aesthetics. We partnered with DIY tech creator to create this retro arcade themed deck 🕹️

Building your own cyber deck from scratch is more than just a tech project. It’s a way to express your creativity and taste while rebelling against the idea that something has to be new to have value.

Sony killed the production of the MiniDisc Player in 2013. Hundreds of artists and collectors are refusing to let it die.

“The vintage audio corner of the internet, where the MiniDisc collectors lurk, seems to be the happiest part of the web” - Michael Yan ()

Here’s the problem: Big Tech’s arbitrary beauty standards send perfectly functional laptops to landfills for a couple “beauty marks.” The visual imperfections on these devices (like old sticker marks) only impact one thing: the price.

So we’re doing something about it: You can now buy an Ugly Computer on Back Market. Every device is guaranteed to be 100% functional, and save you even more money.

It’s what’s on the inside that counts. Learn more and get ugly at the link in our bio.

It’s downgrade season.

Our latest campaign made its way from subway stations and billboards to the internet, leading to genuine discourse on resisting upgrade culture, AI slop fatigue, and nostalgia for bygone eras in tech.

Embracing slow tech helps us take our power and attention back. There’s never been a better time to downgrade.

News: We’re on ’s 2026 list of the world’s most influential companies 🏆

We’re truly honored, but the truth is it’s less about us and more about the global shift toward smarter, more sustainable tech consumption. More and more people are looking to escape the constant upgrade cycle by reaching for refurbished instead of new.

Our mission stays the same: Prolong the lifespan of devices through circularity and repair 🔄🪛💻 Shift happens.

HONK!!! 📯 We’ve always championed mature models at Back Market, whether they’re retro tech devices like early iPods and Gameboys, or smartphones and laptops from a few upgrade cycles ago. The high fashion world is following suit: Models in their 50s and 60s notably walked runways for top fashion houses this year, including at Paris Fashion week in March.

Trends come in go in all industries, but a celebration of maturity and seeing value beyond newness is more than a fad: It’s a means for liberation. Age is just a number, but maturity is an asset.

Back Market popped up in Harajuku this spring with a laundromat-themed store 🇯🇵

5,000 people stopped by to spin Laundry Gacha, get their phones professionally cleaned, sit in on workshops, and try to figure out which iPhone was new and which was refurbished (harder than it sounds).

In Japan, seeing is believing when it comes to electronics. So we built a place to see, touch, and trust refurbished for the first time. The vast majority of visitors walked out feeling better about refurbished than when they walked in.

ありがとう, Harajuku 🫧🗾
