Buying a 2nd hand Oculus Rift sensor

Hello,

Is there anything to be aware of when buying a 2nd hand Oculus Rift Sensor?
They don't look like there's much to them that can go wrong but has anyone found that they have a record of failing?

Appreciate any help.

Not much can go wrong, quite robust, no moving parts. Just a glorified webcam.

Where are you buying from?

2nd hand sensor? I have looked myself for a cheap 4th.

Where from?

Thanks very much for the reply hyperseven.
I hope it's not breaking any forum rules but as OCUK don't sell them, I ordered one from CEX.
Online though as my local high street shop never has any decent PC stuff, just console related.

Cheers,

Wonder if it also has the 5 metre USB ext cable included with it

Nothing wrong with this. Things I would want to know are that it works lol (

), the lens isn't scratched, and if it comes with the USB extension if you care about that. Otherwise no issues for me.

Thanks Kiyoshi will make sure to check the lens.
I'm sure the USB extension would be useful to some but not a deal breaker for me as I've got a shed load of various USB cables, Networks cables and for some reason old school printer cables (I think they bred).
