Manual input
A price leaves the recycler
A spreadsheet, email or periodic file captures one moment in the market.
Live recycler pricing
Your current price should be the price people see.
Connect your pricing system directly to Sell Any Mobile through a structured feed or API, so the comparison reflects what your business is offering now.

Accuracy starts upstream
A comparison can only be as current as the data behind it.
Device values can move within a day. A price sent by email or uploaded yesterday may already misrepresent what a recycler is willing to pay today.
A live connection removes that avoidable gap. Current buying data moves from the recycler’s system into the Sell Any Mobile comparison in a consistent, maintainable structure.
The cost of delay
Stale pricing creates three versions of the same problem.
A manual update does not fail all at once. It becomes less reliable with every market movement that follows it.
Replace manual updatesTime passes
The buying position moves
Demand, new launches and resale conditions change while the old figure remains.
Trust is tested
The comparison shows a price that may no longer exist
The consumer sees uncertainty and the recycler is represented inaccurately.
Connection methods
Use the structure your system can support properly.
Sell Any Mobile can work with established feed formats and direct endpoints. The right option depends on how your own pricing platform stores and publishes data.
XML
A structured pricing document delivered from your system.
JSON
A flexible machine-readable feed for mapped device records.
CSV
A scheduled structured output generated automatically.
API endpoint
A direct connection for current pricing and availability.
Freshness should match the market. Real-time or near-real-time is ideal. Regular automated updates during the day can also be agreed where they reflect the recycler’s own pricing rhythm.
Where prices appear
Five categories feed one clear customer journey.
A seller chooses the type of device first, then the exact brand and product before comparing current offers.
Required data shapeOne complete buying record
- Device model
- Exact product match
- Storage
- Capacity variation
- Condition
- Mapped grade
- Network
- Where relevant
- Buying price
- Current GBP value
- Availability
- Active or unavailable
- Updated at
- Source timestamp
Identifiers, authentication and any additional fields are agreed during technical mapping.
What the connection carries
Enough detail to compare like with like.
A headline model name and price are not enough. Storage, condition and network variations must resolve to the correct device record before an offer can appear accurately.
Field mapping agreed Connection method reviewed Update behaviour validated

Where the feed appears
See the product pages that connected prices can power.
Each published product has its own comparison page. A price appears only when the feed matches the exact device, condition and relevant network.
The commercial case
One technical setup. Less daily administration.
Fresh data helps the comparison perform as intended while removing a repetitive task from the recycler’s team.

Technical questions reach technical people.
World Business Software Solutions powers Sell Any Mobile and built Aevum, Stratum-X and the wider Syhtek group infrastructure.
Feed structures, authentication, mappings and update behaviour can be discussed directly with a team capable of adapting and maintaining the integration.

Clear answers before systems connect.
If your format or update method is different, include it in the integration brief and the platform team can review it.
Prepare an integration briefSell Any Mobile can work with XML, JSON and structured CSV outputs, as well as direct API integrations. The technical review confirms the most suitable delivery method, authentication approach and field mapping before implementation begins.
Real-time or near-real-time updates are preferred because they keep the comparison closest to the recycler's current buying position. Regular automated updates throughout the day can also work where the recycler's own prices move less frequently.
A useful record normally includes the device model, storage variation, condition grade, network status where relevant, current buying price, availability status and an update timestamp. Additional identifiers can be agreed during mapping.
No. The preferred option is a proper structured connection supplied by the recycler's system. This gives both parties a clearer, more maintainable and more reliable source of pricing data than website scraping.
The integration is handled with World Business Software Solutions, the specialist team behind the Sell Any Mobile platform and the wider Syhtek technology infrastructure, including Aevum and Stratum-X.
Yes. Recyclers applying to list can use the integration brief to explain their current capability. Commercial approval and technical connection are separate parts of the onboarding process, but they can be planned together.
