Apple’s new Vision Pro is now available for pre-order in the US, with pricing starting at $3,499 for the 256GB model and going up to $3,899 for the 1TB model. However, due to high demand, it may be difficult to obtain at the time of launch or shortly thereafter. Some reports say shipping times could stretch as far as March.
Due to the high demand for the Vision Pro, some people are purchasing units and then reselling them at higher prices on websites like eBay. This means that those who want to purchase the Vision Pro may have to wait longer or pay more than the retail price.
A quick search on eBay will tell you the whole story. We can confirm that units are going for up to $6,000, and on average, they are around $4,000 to $5,000.
Notably, the Vision Pro Mixed Reality headset is already an expensive product, and due to resellers taking advantage of stock shortages, customers may end up paying double the retail price when purchasing from these sellers.
This is not recommended considering one important factor: the Vision Pro is not a one-size-fits-all product. When purchased directly from Apple’s online website or offline retail stores, Apple scans your face to carefully select the appropriate size of the Light Seal and other in-box items based on your head size, allowing a An ideal experience is ensured. Buying from a scalper may result in a poor fit and feel.
The Vision Pro also comes with optical inserts, and although you can purchase them later, it’s in your best interest to purchase them with your initial purchase for optimal headset use.
That said, you shouldn’t be tempted to buy a Vision Pro headset directly from these scalpers. Doing so will further encourage their practices, making it difficult for genuine buyers to obtain these products at retail prices. If you come across a listing, it is advisable to ignore the advertisement and purchase your unit directly from Apple.
