Likely to lose much money on an Index?

[BogEyes]

Hey,

Basically, steam have emailed me to say I can purchase a Valve index.

I wasn't seriously considering one, due to the cost.

....but, I've been thinking (trying to justify a potential purchase), if I bought one, and sold it in 3 months time after playing Half Life: Alyx and a few other games. How much money do you think I'd be likely to lose on it?

£100, £200, £300+? Any thoughts would be appreciated as I'd love to try one out, and this seems like the only way I could make that happen.

Of note, I'm running a Ryzen 3600 with a 5700XT.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I've potentially missed the sweet spot of buying and then selling one I agree.

I think the real risk is you won’t want to sell it

Haha, I think this might be the most helpful answer Zee.

If you only want a quick try of VR, then just get a Rift S. It gives most of the VR experience that you get from the Index.

Yeah, I can see the logic. I suppose I am drawn to the Index for some reason I can't quite put my finger on.

The adjustable IPD is a must for me.
