Good deal but how on earth do they make it look so used when the headset didn’t even release that long ago

Kids!

VR porn!

You are now on a list.


Zestyclothes

Kids is the answer. I bought my 10 yr old one like a week ago. He dropped it the first day trying to put on the head set. Dropped it again the next day same thing. And then slammed the remote into the wall getting too into his game. I CANNOT get mad because as a kid my mom bought me a Darth Vader PSP and I absolutely destroyed it. And were 10000x better off than my parents. Like I still can't believe I treated that PSP like that. Kids will be kids.


Nooblakahn

I just got a quest 2 Saturday. I've dropped a controller twice freaking out over zombies in Half-Life Alyx. I started using the wrist straps after the second time Whacked my hand into a dresser, same thing same game. I'm 42. No regrets, probably gonna snack tf out of my dresser again tonight


Zestyclothes

My kid was smart as fuck right away. Realized he was hitting things because he was moving too much. Set up a moving blanket that's 3x3 and stands on it. Now he can feel when he's moving from his boundary. Pretty smart.


K9turrent

I actually have some of those foam workout tiles in my basement vr area, I made the boundary about a ft wider than the foam. So now you have a warning track if you step off it and it's easier on the feet/legs to stand and play for longer. ETA: Because I put mine on tile, I would recommend some anti-slip liners, I've made my entire setup slide/rotate from use.


Zestyclothes

Might have to get those for him. He gets red and sweaty playing gorilla tag.

I did this when I did VR and it helped immensely with staying oriented and away from walls


NewShadowR

Blankets can slip and end with him landing on his head. Its a bit dangerous. Get him a vr mat, it's not very expensive.


Nooblakahn

Hmm that IS very smart

This is the the funniest comment I've seen on reddit in a while. Lol


msxenix

I've whacked my hand into an open door that I didnt remember to close so it was in the roomscale. It was the saber dojo in Vader Unleashed and i hit it hard on the side of the door. That hurt a lot.


Thinklikedanny

If you're standing up, you can put your shin against a couch or some thing that's what I do. You do lose perspective and tend to move from your place. If you don't have some way to come back to reality and ground yourself with your feet.


Thinklikedanny

Even a towel would help on the ground


Nooblakahn

In alyx, I like to walk around a bit in the space I have is just gonna happen. Happens less I gave myself more distance to the walls etc. Its all new to me and I'm still figuring it out


Born_Wing3687

Half life alyx? If so that game is amazing. Great choice. I have no complaints at all with that game.

ProfessorPetrus

Dirty home and smoking probably


ac0289

To add to the kids comment this comes with experience. Kids or adults with hygiene issues will distroy the pristine white finish on the Quest. My oldest is the only one that uses it and I needed to deep clean the thing every few days. If I'm not around to course correct him to wash his hands, he'll just throw it on without a second thought of taking care of it. I've put a passcode on it to gate his access, but it still get messy after a while. With certain kids it's like dirt comes out of their pores.


darkelfbear

Dude, you don't even have to be dirty. I shower 2 times a day, clean my hands 20 - 30 times a day. And if doing workout apps and stuff that requires a lot of movement and causes you to sweat, it can happen easily. And I clean my headset down after every session.


AnthrallicA

Same here. I bought a set of the silicone controller covers to minimize hand sweat (still wipe down after each workout) and getting rid of that god-awful fabric head strap for an elite strap were game changers. Who TF thought putting the strap fabric onto a high contact area of the headset was a good idea?


ThatGrizzlyBear97

Exactly. I am looking at buying a 3rd party head strap anyways. One that's easier to clean. The rest of my headset is still pristine white. It's just that one part of the back for me.


Born_Wing3687

I have the black rift so it’s harder to tell when it’s dirty… but then again I don’t usually get dirty because there isn’t dirt in my house because I’m a neat freak… (kinda)


NewShadowR

The strap gets dirty extremely easily. As for the front it's been dropped. Those are nicks off the paint, dropped many times in fact.


ThatGrizzlyBear97

I've washed my hands before I out it on every time. My only problem with the quest 3 is the same problem I have with any white electronics (controllers etc) they get dirty really fast and it shows.


Muritavo

My strap was terribly dirty with like, 4 days of usage lol


sicofonte

Absolutely! Now I religiously wash my hands before every session, and clean the controllers with cloth after it.


berithpy

its white, i don't consider myself particularly dirty but if you dont wash your hands with soap before using it your hand grime gets imprinted on it


standard_beta

my stock headstrap was brown by december 😅


Geppetto21

They get dirty very easy


APotato106

The vr porn goes crazy. So i hear…


darkfall115

Might literally be a steal


No-Paint8752

Likely 


jeweliegb

This. If it gets reported meta can block by serial number.


animesekaielric

Is that true? I had an IPhone stolen from me, I had the serial number and IMEI but even apple support said there’s nothing they can do (phone was brand new in box)


tultommy

Apple can't do anything but the cell carrier can. They keep blacklists of IMEI's that cannot be activated on their network.


distressed-silicon

Until it has been activated no they won’t ban it, once activated would be protected by activation lock that would lock it to you unless you removed it


ferrari91169

For an iPhone (or any phone for that matter) the IMEI would need to be blacklisted by the cellular provider, which is what would block the phone from being activated/allowed on the network. It won’t block the phone from being used on Wi-Fi, so pretty much just loses cellular connectivity. The other thing is that not all carriers use the same blacklist, so while it could be blocked on some carriers, the person can usually just try another carrier to get cellular on the phone. Apple doesn’t do anything to block phones, outside of an iCloud lock, but obviously that won’t have been active on an unopened phone yet.


Socile

Did you have it registered to your AppleID?


purritolover69

It looks too used to be stolen, it’s hard to get wear like that artificially


elFistoFucko

Not New in Box stolen, lifted from someone's house, or apartment at say, a party perhaps. 


1q_devil

English is not my native language and I genuinely thought he asked if someone is missing a quest 3.


MidwestDYIer

I initially thought that too until I saw the other photos of how beat to hell it is. I personally wouldn't care how it looked cosmetically for $200, but the scratched lens would probably kill it for me. (unless I was able to try it and confirm it wasn't going to drive me crazy).


museprime

I used it. The scratches have no effect on it. At least none that I can see.


kisscardano

lens are scrached, reason why it s cheap!


Lo__Lox

That looks like a borderline usable amount of lens scratch


HotFootDuke

Possible you could buff out the scratches - at least on old CDs you could get silvo and buff out the scratches; same with skylights -not 100% sure it works on glass but prob would as you are just polishing the scratch/es until they become transparent ...


Personman2008

You could get some polywatch and buff out the micro abrasions and scratches


Sstfreek

Yeah shit makes me cringe. I am HYPER PROTECTIVE of my lenses. I use a new microfiber every time I clean them and always keep a lens cover on when not in use


NewShadowR

Damn bro lol, you either have 100 microfibers stockpiled or you use your headset really infrequently.


ByteTheFox

i have a +10 year old brainpop moby cloth i've been using forever


tmvr

I still use the white one that came with the CV1 in 2016 :) With every HMD that I own. I also have the black one from Quest1 ready in case I need it, but it's still in the plastic it came in.


Sstfreek

I get them for free at my job. I usually get one new one a day at minimum and every single pair of pants of mine has at least two in the pocket.


NewShadowR

nice lol, is it a microfiber company? haha


NewShadowR

The right side lens looks fucked lol


Waidowai

Time for VARRR pirate simulator where u only use the left eye..


hellgames1

If it works fine for you, then great. Make sure you disinfect it, because it looks like it has been used by someone who smoked cigarettes and ate Doritos in between their VR sessions. And you'd be surprised how many people use VR only for having a wank.


MetodaMAN

Wait, there no way people spent money on vr jus to jerk off


Socile

Have you met people?


BrownTown90

Wait, there's no way you actually believe that.


MetodaMAN

I struggle to belive it, aint even that good


[deleted]

[удалено]


K9turrent

I'd say closer to mid than "insanely good"


MetodaMAN

Aint worth the effort and defenetly not 300 bucks for just jerkin off.


RedChaos92

There are automatic sex toys that sync up to compatible porn videos. Knowing that, it's not too far fetched to believe people would spend $500 on a VR headset to match to their $700 SchlongGobbler 9000 for a more immersive experience. Plus, VR porn games are a thing too.


Adiyogi1

I mean there ain’t no game out there that will make me buy a headset.


HotFootDuke

I thought that until I played VR golf+ and eleven table tennis - things I can't really do at home and are a real hassle for me outside the home ... I think the next big thing tho is going to be sports watching - you can sit courtside at a lakers game; stand and watch any hole at the masters ... ringside at boxing matches etc... gonna be huge IMHO


tankthetrain

Get off your high horse


kendrid

There was a post the other day “is buying the quest 2 on discount a good move of my only use is vr porn.”


MetodaMAN

Point and laugh fr


NewShadowR

how bout using doritos to wank?


MidwestDYIer

Doesn't everyone do those things while using VR?


Spawticusx805x

Dude I snack, drink, and smoke (cigs and weed), almost EVERY time I use my oculus 2, I've had it for three years and it still looks fresh out of the box as day 1 including the lenses, not even the slightest little scuff. People are a trip. Also on that note, the scratch may look small but remember how close your face is to it, even a tiny scratch can irreparably ruin enjoyable gameplay.


jokeboy90

The right lense is definitely in a very bad shape. Thats why it was 200. But hey if it doesnt bother you, have fun!


Shogun-intense

Like the OP said it’s not ideal. But that doesn’t look to bad. It’s not like abrasive. I mean these are plastic lens.


NewShadowR

?? What do you mean not abrasive? There's a literal line on the right one.


Lo__Lox

How can someone fuck up a quest 3 like that in the small time since release (I know the answer, someone kid got it from their parents)


popl12342

looking around the vents, there looks to be the color/yellowing from cigars or cigarettes. They could be smoking in the headset. Don't know about the lens scratching if that's the case, but it makes me think not a kid.


sidekyboy

I must be dumb but, could someone explain to me why it looks so bad? It looks fine to me other than scratching on the lenses

BanjoSpaceMan

Absolute steal. I'm more surprised at how banged up it is when the thing only came out like 8 months ago. Some people must be flying around their home with these things... I take it out of the box and use it as it it's the treasure from Indiana Jones


BlueFeathered1

Really. I take mine out of the case, use it, reverently put it back in the case when done, say a silent thank-you... Pretty much how I treat my consoles, too. I don't understand what some people are doing with their stuff.


pixxelpusher

Love people who list items as "like new" and then the actual thing looks like it was dropped from an airplane at 35,000 feet.


hansoyvind1

I mean you got it for 300$ cheaper, which is a really good price considering that the quest 3 is quite recent. It is the same price I paid for my used quest 1 back in 2020


banker8

Make that $450 cheaper ... it's the full 512 GB model, which retails for $650


Socile

Holy schnikees


rafiafoxx

pisses me off, that couple hundred gb probably cost like 20 bucks


Socile

Yeah, this is a higher markup than the extra storage for iPhones. Ridiculous.


MidwestDYIer

Where do you think meta got the idea?


Cold_Sold1eR

Those lenses don't look good at all. The condition of the headset is poor. I wouldn't buy it, even for $200


Lo__Lox

Its like getting a Ferrari for 5k but it doesn't drive, has no doors or wheels "but its a Ferrari and was only 5k!" Tf are you going to do with that


Darklicorice

Eh it's more like a dirty used Ferrari with miles and a cracked windshield


MidwestDYIer

Yeah, that's not even close the same comparison lol. Most people won't ever see your Q3, including you while you're using it. If the lens scratch is visible all the time while in use, however, I probably wouldn't buy it either.


DevilMaster666-

Might be a stolen one


AnonymousJoe35

It's literally a steal


nvram93

you just bought stolen hardware


MRHBK

I guess the seller wanted it gone quick to help stop his VR porn addiction judging from the look of it


Chr0m3Chaos

To fix the lenses I'd recommend buying some PolyWatch compound on Amazon. Used that stuff on some cheap Quest 2s I acquired and made the lenses look like new. The Quest 3 also has plastic lenses. A fair warning though, I'd watch some videos on doing it right. If you do it wrong, you can make it worse. Edit: Apparently the Quest 3 has a fresnel coating over it unlike the Quest 2 and using any kind of abrasive will ruin it and make scratches worse. Apologies. I saw the lenses were made of plastic as well and assumed PolyWatch would work. It DOES work for the Quest 2 though. I've used it on three different headsets and they have perfect lenses now.


Sstfreek

I don’t think polywatch works on the pancakes. Def do your research before you do that


darkelfbear

That DOES NOT work on the Q3's pancake lenses.


museprime

That stuff doesn’t work


ForsakenTaroKun

It’s real, but really overused


Lokipro13YT

Ugh, the lenses...


Unoficialo

Just paid $300cad for a new Quest 2 128gb (on sale $80 off), the 3's are like $649 new here for the 128 & $849 for the 512. $200 (usd I guess?) for the 512 is a good deal, even if it's a bit banged up. As long as it works, I say you're good. But by the looks of it, give it a good clean/disinfect, make sure you don't catch anything, or randomly get pink eye.


cancergiver

Steal for 200. And no, the Lenses are fine and won’t bother anyone


museprime

So I’ve clean the headset up. 1st. Yea it got the black light test. And nothing there. 😂. 2nd: the straps yes kids. 3rd: the scratches on the lens. There are some there. Wasn’t many. But I don’t notice them when I have the headset on. Nothing looks blurry. But then I’ve never used a 3 before. So I wouldn’t know what to look for. 4th: replaced the straps with a Bobo. Replace the eye/face rest. The worst thing on this is the straps so far. Got also gifted an original strap. Played only wrath of Asgard. Seemed fine https://preview.redd.it/ey4p7jmz2lvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83aaeeb9167351bdc3fc6032d20954a87f98ded4 Will do more testing tmw

qwertypdeb

how tf do they scratch their lenses? is it difficult to not put your hands on the lenses?


museprime

I dunno. After cleaning it up it seems fine. It’s not blurry when I use it. Connects just fine.


[deleted]

Why do redditors just name their post like they're stupid? I got mine for free as new is it a GoOd dEaL? Hurr durr Its a $650 headset do the math. I'll say no probably has cum on it. One of these motherfuckers on here that used it for porn and sold it cause they were afraid of VR porn.


banker8

A few bodily fluids have never hurt anyone ... just don't look at it with an IR flashlight


amtexe

I wonder if lense polish / glass repair liquid works as well on the Q3 as it did on the Q2 - if so, the lense scratches shouldn’t be an issue!


GTHell

Why does it look so beat up. Isn’t that thing just released


pan_rock

I seen them going for about $200-270 consistently now used


Xidash

A very good deal although being a little scratched.


Isa229

Did the owner use sandpaper to clean the lenses??


Herb0rrent

> Is a $650 headset for $200 a good deal? Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr yes


Vast-Category8391

Used? You did ok, not great. If it’s new you did great


AdIllustrious8211

Are the lenses scratched I can’t tell! I’d be pissed but otherwise it seems like a good deal.


Dabbinz420

Bleach the straps, alcohol wipe the outside. It should look much better after that, not to bad man, I just bought one myself, been obsessed playing breachers, I need help...


MidwestDYIer

Just ditch the head strap and get a Kiwi or Bobovr. done


Whootyhunter3k

You basically stole it. Issa steal


Shank__Hill

That thing looks like it's been used primarily for Firefox 😳


Tachyonzero

Bro, use a black light on that headset. Just to make sure and hospital grade super sani-cloth.


ExtraTankVR

how the hell is it that cheap? here in finland a used quest 2 is around 200 - 250

It's an OK deal too bad about that right lense, though


VegetaGG

Yes, considering in Australia I had to spend 1k

I came across a quest 3 for 200 on marketplace last night. Guy told me someone just bought it lmao. Mustve been you

I think it might be stolen but i would be careful


MyDataWasStolen

Steal. Any Damage can be repaired for less than you bought it for. The looks don't matter when you're actually playing (Take it apart and paint it if it bothers you) 512Gb for 200$ is an incredible deal for a device that came out somewhat recently With leftover cash, Accessorize the Crap out of it Polish it glamorize it 100$ is a decent amount for controller accessories Money left unspent Could go to games (Or to me 😘)


TGhost21

Crusty, musty and scratched. Great buy!


BionicFreakOfficial

Jeez, the headset has only been out for about half a year. What in the world did they do to it? xD


celineafortiva

How is it? Any issues with the hardware or lenses? If not then yeah you got a bargain


Purple_Surprise7037

Def a steal


socosoco1

Good deal. Get a good aftermarket strap and facial interface. They also make lens scratch remover, but I’m not sure if it’s okay for quest 3 lenses. Check on that


ZoltanCultLeader

What bothers me about meta customer service is that they are unwilling to do an out of service repair for a fee.


Otherwise_Candle_834

We want ultraviolet pictures Sir Museprime.


Otherwise_Candle_834

Use toothpaste on the scratched lense. Wait 1H. Wipe with microfiber. Wait 1h. Wipe again. Have fun.

We were so sick that it took weeks for us to get better. So if I had that money I'd buy it in a heart beat for his birthday. But won't have any money till next pay check in 2 weeks and it will be small. But u lucked out.

Zenni optical also sells replacement no prescription lenses also. I was planning to get a prescription pair since I wear glasses normally. I think it was $40 last I checked.

Frick yea thats a steal. Kids probably upset them, and they were trying to get rid of it as punishment. But def kids bc there's no way they'd let it go for that price unless something was wrong with it, or kids were bad. Or maybe spouse was bad/there was a breakup.
