What the actual hell?
Been keeping a eye on used Vive prices as I've been trying to get funds together to get one, this is complete system not literally just the headset, and they'd been holding steady at ~£300 - £350 for ages now. Now finally at the cusp of getting enough funds together for that amount, because of this pandemic bullshit they've suddenly shot up in price to £400 and more with regularly having a couple dozen bids on each listing.
For fuck sake, I don't want to wait longer, pay the gouge amount to later find out it drops basically the nanosecond the pandemic bullshit is over as people start selling them en mass when they go back to work and don't have the time anymore, but I don't want wait and find out prices go so off the rails it makes more sense to just hold out for a complete Index or Pimax setup or something, or prices never return to normal because people are retards and don't understand that supply/demand goes both ways, leaving a ton of unsold headsets the owners refuse to drop the price on to something reasonable because of the previous gouge amounts.
>Lel just get [insert other non-lighthouse based VR headset, or other HTC headset here]
Absolutely no way in fucking hell, I am NOT supporting the bullshit plight on VR facebook is putting out in any capacity, inside out is a shitty meme that can't do body tracking, something I actually want, literally everything HTC put out is literally twice the price it should be, and I wanted to get a used Vive because it was SUPPOSED to be the low cost entry point to swap out with better parts as funds for them came along.
