Why are people daft? - Rift CV1 is now shipping 2-4 days after order, but...

People are still purchasing used ones from eBay at higher prices than they can get them brand new direct from Oculus.

Some are even on buy it now for £700 and morons are buying them. Surely if someone is interested in getting a CV1 they are checking the latest news and updates direct from the vendor?

Not only have Oculus stated supply has caught up with demand but purchasing any Oculus CV1 from eBay (even sold as new) invalidates your warranty.

I could understand when CV1 was taking months to get but now it takes a few days why are people still paying over the odds for used models with no warranty. Madness.

Anyway... stop being stupid people

Not long would be my guess. I had a look and I can see some on there now for much less than £700

I would say in a matter of weeks they will (and should) be going for under the MSRP. I honestly don't blame the sellers at all and fair play to them, it's the idiots who pay way over the odds for used items.

IMHO any used items should be minimum 25% cheaper than new. So used Rift CV1 should be less than £400.
