I guess that depends if you want one with scratches on that someone else has sweated on really.

I was lucky enough to win one of these along with a PS4 and the camera....But to be honest as good as it is, it's just sat gathering dust now.

You should have got a vacuum cleaner - cheaper and better at gathering dust :stuck_out_tongue:

I lolled so loud then, I have seen some of the controllers they try and sell, encrusted with dried human skin and food etc. Just glad they were behind glass.

Just received mine today, brand new without a doubt, all cables tied as if new, disc still in selophane, no marks, fingerprints or scratches, all the plastic peel strips still on. Mine had a 4 cm rip in the outer cardboard. Warehouse damage. Total bargain imo.
I didn't buy because of this thread, but bought yesterday when there was only 2 available, and only stumbled on this thread by chance

How can we say for sure it's unused? Have they mentioned it somewhere?

Amazon's receipt does not mention the item is "used", so ​unless the "used" item has already been registered at the the manufacturers by a previous Amazon customer then you should resist telling the manufacturer it is second hand no matter how tempting it may be! :smile:

​He's got How Clean is Your House VR, the Kim Woodburn Legacy Edition :laughing:

Ah okay fair enough. Still don't doubt that a big chunk of the negative reviews are plain stupid, like the 1 star reviews for clothes because they don't fit :laughing:

Amazon used items dont carry the manufacturer's warranty...as advised my Amazon.

What I meant by better service, is having items arrive in as described and working condition in the first place. I havn't looked, but I assume most negatives are relating to the quality of the product sold, not the actual service recieved.

I would buy from them too, as I know they will always return/replace anything without an issue. I was simply pointing out that it's a poor feedback percentage and I doubt you'll find many, if any sellers on there with 85% feedback having sold thounds or more items. Double standards by Amazon. :smiley:

Still enjoying it from release day. Played Star Dust ultra VR yesterday with it. RES7 is amazing in VR. It's a most have if you own a PS4 or PS4 Pro.
I don't sweat on mine however family and friends have, but it's so easy to clean and sterilize. I would be more worried about any scratches on the lenses.

Cheapest now is £286...

Had one bought several months ago. The headset itself is very comfortable and lightweight and doesn't press against your face because it's weight is distributed around your head and not pressed against your face like goggles.

Google eye herpes... Then you'll buy a new one.

​If there are scratches on the lenses, that would be a concern

i'd hope to see a new set with camera and move controllers come out soon but sony have stopped making both and are only just catching up on production of the headset - i'm really hoping for a v2 release of this tech as all reviews have stated that the camera and move controllers (which are both years older ps3 tech) aren't up to the job.

doesn;t help that fleamarkets like CEX have put an absurd premium on those items too.

johnlewis Leicester store have 2 psvr returned online from customers,selling at 279 each and the also have the new style camera for 30,comes with full warrenty as you buy new and a full refund policy within 35days.

I lolled so loud then, I have seen some of the controllers they try and sell, encrusted with dried human skin and food etc. Just glad they were behind glass.

I'll buy once Fallout 4 VR gets released.

Price is the best you can hope for at present. The 120hz OLED screens are not cheap and that's why they are priced accordingly. Having said this I bought a load of these out the warehouse before Christmas at £260 each but that was because they had the 20% discount on. Most were still sealed, some had missing cardboard innards. Only 1 had a missing cable and it was the USB cable which I reported to Amazon and they reduced it by 15% for me to keep. Easily replaceable.

With Amazon paying return shipping and their customer service standards which are second to none, you literally have nothing to lose. I would still buy from them if their feedback rating was far less than 85%. User reviews include the same people who leave 1 star product reviews for late delivery / DOA / etc after all :laughing:

Each to their own though.

Get it, then get RES7, then a nappy.

Each to their own I suppose but if I was buying used items on Amazon, the only seller I would buy from is Amazon marketplace, any problems when it arrives and you send it back for a full refund, no questions asked

I'd also advise you avoid walking into CEX then

That's not how feedback percentages work. They don't go down the more you sell, they should be consistently high.

Music Magpie have managed 98% with almost 6 million feedback...

85% positive feedback for Amazon Warehouse, eh. Most other sellers would be shut down for that.

I admit to being totally OCD about stuff like that. I am one of those who always has Anti Bac gel in my pocket

Like second hand controllers, I wont touch them, The fact that somebody has worn this close to orifices makes it doubly disgusting to me

The light shield is removable, so a good wipe down with antibacterial wipes on both the headset and light shield will make that a non issue.

Also, all this talk about scratches, does it really matter? it's on your head.....

Having said, I personally wouldn't get one, but that's because I think it's an expensive gimmick.

A reasonable price for a used glorified electric hat.

I don't see why this would be a problem. All you need to do is clean it if you're concerned, it's not difficult.

lol and brand new vr set for ps4 cost just as much as a ps4 pro...

eye herpes anyone? :smirk:

​That's also pretty blinkered to say that it will arrive in great condition. Amazon warehouse is always hit and miss. More miss than hit nowadays from my personal point of view. I have had a box arrive with no item inside and other times amazing bargains. Bit of a lottery really.

​100% agree, would never buy a pair of trainers/headphones/clothes etc. unless they are new, especially for this much money, the accessory that costs more than the console haha!

it's a good deal if you really want one you can always send it back if it's in poor condition when you get it. if you have the cash pay an extra £30 for brand new.

...but this one might have been used and if so will have been on someones head. Its a bit different to buying a 'used' item that is not wearable.

It does say it's scratched in the description though? With a premium product like this I wouldn't really want to buy anything less than "very good" but that's me personally and I'm sure someone else will jump on this deal

Typical blinkered comment as soon as someone sees used in the title. Used items can be in really good condition, especially with Amazon Warehouse where a lot of the time they aren't even used at all, had numberous "used" items come with their seals still intact!

Heated, great price for this...

bought few for £335 before for family and all came brand new unused just damaged packaging

I guess that depends if you want one with scratches on that someone else has sweated on really.
