Looks like a Prime Day deal - when you find a Like New sold by Amazon Resale it should have a note saying "Prime Day deal Save 20% at checkout" above the delivery info. Price discounts when you're in your cart (assuming you're a Prime member).
FWIW - I have the PSVR2 and wouldn't recommend it. Adoption has been low and Sony/3rd party don't appear to be utilizing it as much as they could. I would recommend a quest 3 if you're going to buy a VR headset.

I'm looking to get one because of the PC compatibility coming next month.
What are peoples experience with these Used - Like New Amazon Resale items? I'm hesitant with wearable technology and someone has returned it (pixel issues, etc.) and it is still $300+ which is where I would be willing to try this. Thanks for any insight.

I also have the PSVR2 and it's a tough one to recommend. Bought it at launch, also have a Quest 2/Quest3 and PSVR1, and the PSVR2 probably got the least of my time. I wanted to love it.
I will say that some of the best VR games are on it, and many of them have the VR mode as a 'freebie' with the original game. Resident Evil 4 VR? Amazing! Resident evil 8 VR? Also great! Gran Turismo? Awesome! Resident Evil 4 (PSVR2) is so much better than Resident Evil 4 (Quest) due to it being the full PS5 Remake Version instead of the older mobile/quest port.
A lot of the PSVR1 content is not compatible -- games need to be updated to take advantage of PSVR2 (basically a full re-do of how the VR works, so not just an easy update). About half of the PSVR1 titles that are PSVR2 compatible seem to be an additional charge to upgrade.
Many of the 'big release' titles ended up pretty disappointing. I can't even tell you what's still on the horizon for the platform, I haven't touched mine in months but play my Quest 3 a few times a week.
Bonuses: The resolution, CPU and OLED screen are much better than the Quest 3. Vibration mode and eye tracking are also great. The lack of pancake lenses hurt it a bit, as its not as clear as it could/should be. No color-passthrough. Tethered to your PS5, and PC VR is coming.. but its an upgrade/accessory.
I want to love it. I do still like it, but most of the games I still play are older ones that just got the VR modes (like Resident Evil 4/8/Gran Turismo) or ones on other platforms (beat saber, tetris, rez, etc..)
It's just hard to justify it. Last time I wrote this, I got shit on by people saying that SONY still had lots of support for it on the way, but I haven't seen anything at all since then. Quest 3 is finally getting exclusives and big titles like Batman: Arkham, whereas I don't see the big stuff coming for PSVR2 yet. Even just throwing more PSVR1 games at it (Resident Evil 7, Rush of Blood) would be great.

Used Like New is kind of a shit-show on amazon. It could be everything from extra stock, to "this box was torn in the warehouse, so we're selling it at a discount", to "Someone bought it and returned it and it looks like it's all there, I guess? sell it like new"
Most of my experiences have been good: Used Like New is often never-opened, damaged box in the warehouse, but you're always taking a chance.. and that could mean missing pieces/open box, a return, etc.. and trying to return it if everything isn't in there will be a big hassle.
Shit show, but again I've had more good experiences than bad. When the difference is a couple bucks, it's harder to justify than a $200 difference between Like New and New
Hmmm, thank you, I figured that was the case, just a crap shoot. So either overstock or open-box and great news, or it is messed up and should utilize the return window. Thanks!
I ended up grabbing one for use with Gran Turismo and from what I hear, the only good reason to get it. I might play around with the other 4 games supported for this thing, but I'm mainly gonna use this to rub tires on Daytona. Yeehaw!

They will forget about it and drop it like a bad habit.

The tech is extremely impressive. It's just a shame that there was never a "killer app" for it.
