I would not risk buying a used one for 500$ tbh

I bought my HTC vive used on OLX for less, more than a year ago.
It's with me till now.

phonefinity sells it for 550 but its out of stock, so paying 50$ less for something used doesn't make sense.

I'm talking about the HTC vive bro.
The current listed price at phonefinity is 750$.(out of stock though)
I bought it for less than half that price about 2 years ago.

Anyway, what I'm saying, don't under estimate used goods.
You can find stuff as good as new, depending on the owner, and you save a lot of money in the process.

Here is the olx one I saw, it seems in good condition and he's selling it for 450$. (you can even get it for lower if you negotiate)

I'll pass on used stuff, if anyone knows stores that sell brand new for 550$ or less hit me up. Thanks

IMO the cheapest and best entry to VR with no headaches is the PSVR. Had mine from 2016 I recommend playing resident evil 7, Superhot VR, I Expect You To Die, Farpoint, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.

I bought a used vive early 2018, it was a great purchase. So much fun for the entire family that i emptied an entire room for it.

Notice the two lighthouses in opposite corners of the room.

I would definitely suggest getting Beat Saber, massive fun.

That's freaking awesome.
Unfortunately I don't have the room for it.
I now even have my vive gathering dust because of lack of space to play and lack of time.

But I must admit, when I first got it, it was very interesting at the beginning but I got tired of vr very fast.
I don't know if it was the lack of time that made me stop playing vr.
Or the lack of real games (basically I used to pirate any game I could find, until now, when I bought Fallout 4 VR and standout Battle Royale VR, and the headset is still gathering dust).

VR is overrated. I’m confident AR is the future, though.
