I got one a couple months ago and it had a defect in one of the screens. You could tell it was returned at least twice before, too, because it had two or three stickers underneath the sealed sticker. Seemed like people just keep sending it back and they keep trying to sell it to the next customer.
Too bad that vr is held back by the lowest common denominator. The only game that said this is the future of VR was half-life Alyx and that was three years ago. Hopefully this next-gen will bring some life back to the VR community.
New offerings from meta are closing in.

For the Index, the tracking is unparalleled. Don't need to worry about charging. AMAZING controllers with hand tracking (I have grips on my Quest2 that mimic them).

Upgradability is nice if you want to get full body tracking or get a Pimax headset (200° FOV + 8K, Quest has ~90°)

The headphones are the most immersive you can get, competing alternatives for the quest 2 cost 200usd+.

Con I have seen is that the resolution is lackluster.

In for one. Good price, some comments on GS indicate mixed results on what you get. I'll take a chance since 5 day return.

Pretty great price. Base stations and controllers alone would bring you near this price.

From looking around it seems like these are various RMA pieces refurbished by valve and combined together. Quality reports are a bit over the place like with the index itself but I think it's worth a shot.

Potentially a decent deal even if you replace the HMD at some point, as the controllers + base stations alone are about $600, though at this point other stuff like the Quest Pro 2, Deckard and Quest 3 are (probably) pretty close on the horizon.

Reverb has better resolution, cheaper, but controllers are not great. Overall, PC VR gaming is dying
