Selling the thing so i can buy a Rift S lul

keep buy it now that high, maybe a desperate kid would buy it and you get a huge profit. if not they will bid quite a bit
 

put it on bid starting at 60, and a buy now for 150. Fortnite kids go crazy for that mousepad for some reason

It gets restocked every month or so, personally wouldn't pay more than $50 (including shipping) for one, especially from ebay, but you can probably find people willing to pay more than $80 for one.
Nah, that's for the divina version. They still go crazy over the deep blue, but not $150 crazy.

Okay thanks a lot for your insight

Razer viper?

Yeah I got a set from VR cover. They're still available for the original Rift. Very nice upgrade, but of course does add a bit to the price.

Buying new padding is actually a thing??? hmm, never thought of that... I'll have to look into getting a CV1 model if I can find one for cheap... Assuming it might play half-life Alyx... I would definitely use a valve controller if I had one but yeah them things on the whole are expensive

Factor in new replacement padding for the headset when buying used.  Not just for the sanitary reasons but mostly for comfort and fit, the old padding will be packed down to the previous users face.

1. Yes.
2. Buy secondhand if you want, check that there's no obvious damage (cracked controllers, broken lenses) but you should be able to get your money back through ebay if something invisible is broken like a burnt out display.
3. The original Rift or the original HTC Vive.
4. No external devices for tracking, this means you don't need a third camera for roomscale VR, but it also means that the controllers are only tracked when they're visible to the headset.
5. 2m x 2m is generally a safe bet, plus somewhere to put cameras if you're using the original Rift. Some sitting VR games you can get away with any space you could fit a chair, but those aren't really the VR experience I suspect you're looking for.
6. There's a decent selection out there right now, and it's growing all the time.
7. Who knows, but my money would be on no.
8. Generally the same as other games, if anything they lean cheaper than traditional games.
9. Whatever it comes with. An Oculus Rift CV1 will need a third camera placed behind your play area if you want to do roomscale (turning around) but that's not a total deal breaker and many games have workarounds for it.

i don;t recommend "dv1" as its an unsupported developer model. vr is constantly being upgraded, so i don't recommend older models as they are more problematic, and can't do as much, or perform as well as a newer model. as far as used, i don't see an issue with it as long as you sanitize it well, and it is in good shape. your pc will definitely run any vr game just fine. as far as game library, there is a decent amount of games available, but only a few, imo, that are worth buying vr for. mainly half life alyx, pavlov, beat saber, saints and sinners, and a few im forgetting.
 
edit: meant "CV1" lol

It's CV1, which is the first consumer model. It's a solid choice for a second hand headset.

Hell yeah.
Depends on your second hand market
Make sure it pairs with contolers, and he screens are fine.

Rift S doesnt need them
I believe VR goes in pc gaming, but i may be mistaken. Welcome to the fourms.
