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.

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.
