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.
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 value varies based on where you sell your VR headset. We've compared price differences based on sell location.
When selling your VR headset, you have fewer options than say phones or tablets. Consider these important factors when choosing where to sell.
We took the top trade-in options and compared them to help you get the best price for your VR headset.

Sell your Used VR Headset for Max Cash to a Local Buyer
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
If your VR headset is beyond repair, you can still recycle electronics responsibly through BankMyCell's partner network.

Here's how to prepare your VR headset for sale.
Step 1: Remove your account & factory reset to protect your data
Each brand walks you through a different process for account deletion and factory resetting. Follow instructions below based on your brand to protect your personal information.
Step 2: Gather Accessories
Be sure to include all charging cables, controllers, head straps, and box if you have it.
Step 3: Clean & Present Your VR Headset
Make sure your headset looks presentable by cleaning it before selling. Wipe down lenses with a microfiber cloth. Use compressed air or lightly brush off dust collected in vents or on exterior surfaces.
For your protection, erase all of your information from your VR headset before selling. You can factory reset your headset using one of the methods below.
Method 1: Using Your Headset
Method 2: Using the Meta Quest App
Your PlayStation VR headset doesn't contain personal information. Account data is stored on your PlayStation console.
Follow these steps if you're looking to sell your PlayStation VR headset.
Before selling your VR headset, know what model you own. Here's how to identify your VR headset model.
Put your headset on and go to Settings > System > About. Device name and storage capacity will be displayed. You can also look on your phone by opening the Meta Quest app and going to Devices.
Look on the bottom of processor unit (PSVR) for the model number. Model number is also on band attached to headset near adjustment dial. PSVR2 headsets are easy to identify by their oval shape. Sense controllers also indicate PSVR2.
Go to Settings > General > About.
