How to Sell Your VR Headsets for the Most Money

Popular VR Headsets Trade-in FAQs

VR Headsets' trade-in value depends on multiple factors including brand, model, condition, and where you choose to sell. Here's everything you need to know when selling your VR Headset.

Different Brands (Meta vs. PlayStation vs. Apple vs. Other)

Your VR Headset's trade-in value depends largely on which brand and product line it's from. Luxury headsets like Apple Vision Pro can command the best price whereas Meta Quest products still sell well since they own the largest installed base for standalone VR.

PlayStation VR headsets also hold trade-in value depending on game selection and console sales. If you own other headsets connected to a PC like Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, or HTC Vive Cosmos, these will have trade-in value as well. Check our website for the latest prices across all VR electronics.

VR headsets that do not require you to own a PC or console (standalone VR headsets) will generally have the highest resale value. This is because standalone VR headsets have a larger target audience.

Each headset model within the same product line also has different storage options. If your device has higher storage, then you can demand more money.

Condition and selling location will also affect your trade-in value.

Trade-In Location (Online Buyback Stores vs. Retail Stores vs. Marketplaces)

Trade-in value varies based on where you sell your VR headset. We've compared price differences based on sell location.

  • BankMyCell: We've compared prices across trusted online buyback stores that buy VR Headsets. BankMyCell allows you to see live quotes on our website and pay with PayPal, direct deposit, check, or other payment methods.
  • Retail Stores: Many electronics retailers offer trade-in programs but only accept a handful of VR Headsets at best. VR headsets don't sell nearly as much as phones and tablets so retail stores have a limited acceptance rate. GameStop will accept certain VR headset models for trade-in. However, their price offers are usually lower than what BankMyCell offers. Best Buy does not currently accept VR headset trade-ins. Other retail stores will not accept your VR headset either. And if they do, you're more likely to get store credit instead of cash.
  • Marketplace: You can sell your headset on eBay, Swappa, or Facebook Marketplace. The advantage of selling on marketplaces is you get to list your own price. However, marketplaces only provide a platform. There's no guarantee you'll find a buyer for your headset. Also, demand varies from region to region for VR headsets. Lastly, you're responsible for creating the listing, communicating with buyers, and shipping the item.

When selling your VR headset, you have fewer options than say phones or tablets. Consider these important factors when choosing where to sell.

  • Offers cash payment
  • Ships for free
  • Fast and easy trade-in process

We took the top trade-in options and compared them to help you get the best price for your VR headset.

  • Insider Tip: Up to 15% seller fee for eBay and PayPal processing fees.
  • Insider Tip: VR headset demand isn't as strong as phones and tablets. They take longer to sell.
  • You are responsible for uploading pictures and describing condition.

Sell your VR Headset on eBay, Swappa, or Facebook

  • Set your own price.
  • Sale not guaranteed. You may encounter low ballers or people that stop responding after purchase.
  • Fees for listing.

Finding a place to sell your VR headset locally is challenging. Online will offer you more value than going into a physical store. While pawn shops may accept VR headsets, they typically pay far less than online buyback stores. Below we provide local options where available.

Our buyback store partners simplify the process. Use the provided free prepaid shipping label to drop your VR headset off at any local UPS, USPS, or FedEx location.

Sell your Used VR Headset for Max Cash to a Local Buyer

  • No seller fees when sale is completed.
  • Sale not guaranteed. Meet in public and test headset with buyer.
  • Unpaid labor. You are responsible for creating the listing.

Yes, you can sell cracked or broken VR headsets. Not all trade-in companies accept a broken VR headset, but all of the companies we work with buy VR headsets for parts, refurbishment, and recycling.

Try to avoid getting your headset repaired before selling. Repair costs will likely exceed any return on investment you gain from selling. Simply sell your broken VR headset as-is and let the buyback company repair it. Rather than letting an old device collect dust, sell or recycle your headset and put cash back in your pocket.

Common Conditions Accepted

  • Cracked or scratched lenses
  • Controller drift, broken controllers
  • Missing controllers/accessories
  • Tracking sensor issues
  • Display defects
  • Faulty Audio
  • Broken charging port
  • Won't turn on

If your VR headset is beyond repair, you can still recycle electronics responsibly through BankMyCell's partner network.
