Sell Your VR Headset for Cash

Virtual reality hardware can retain real value after an upgrade. If you have a VR headset you no longer use, GreenBuyBack makes it easy to check its current trade-in value and sell it online. Browse the available VR brands and devices below to get started.

GreenBuyBack currently purchases eligible Meta Quest headsets, and our VR catalog can expand as additional virtual reality and mixed reality devices become available for trade-in.

How Much Is My VR Headset Worth?

The value of a used VR headset depends on more than its age. The manufacturer, exact model, storage capacity, physical condition, functionality, and included accessories can all affect its trade-in value.

Newer standalone and mixed reality headsets may have higher values than earlier generations, while damaged or incomplete devices can receive different offers. Select your exact headset to see the available GreenBuyBack value.

What Should I Check on a Used VR Headset?

A virtual reality headset has several components that should be inspected before choosing a condition. Unlike a conventional screen-based device, VR hardware relies on lenses, displays, cameras, sensors, tracking systems, and controllers working together.

Before submitting your headset, check the following:

• Interior lenses for scratches or damage
• Displays for lines, dead pixels, discoloration, or other defects
• Exterior cameras and tracking sensors
• Head strap and facial interface
• Speakers and audio
• Buttons and controls
• Charging port and battery functionality
• Wireless connectivity
• Left and right controllers when applicable

Do VR Headset Controllers Affect the Value?

Yes. Controllers are an important part of many VR systems, and certain GreenBuyBack trade-ins require them to be included. A headset submitted without required controllers, charging equipment, or other specified accessories may not qualify for the original quoted value.

Review the requirements on the individual product page before packing your device.

VR Headset Storage Can Matter

Some standalone VR headsets are available with multiple storage capacities. Storage can affect the value of otherwise identical devices, so verify the capacity of your headset when the product page provides multiple options.

Selecting the correct configuration helps ensure that your online quote accurately represents the device you are sending.

Protect VR Lenses When Shipping

VR lenses are particularly vulnerable to scratches during transportation. When packing a headset, protect the lenses and prevent controllers, charging adapters, cables, or other hard objects from moving against them inside the box.

Use sufficient packing material to prevent the headset and accessories from shifting during transit. Never place loose controllers directly against the lenses.

Remove Your Account and Personal Information

Modern standalone VR headsets can contain account information, saved settings, apps, and other personal data. Before selling your headset, save anything you want to keep and perform the appropriate factory reset for your device.

GreenBuyBack also recommends factory resetting devices before shipment as part of its data-protection process.

Sell a VR Headset Without Listing It Yourself

Instead of creating a marketplace listing, researching a selling price, answering buyer questions, and arranging a private sale, GreenBuyBack lets you select your VR headset and condition to receive an online quote.

Complete your order and use the prepaid shipping label provided by GreenBuyBack to send your device for inspection. Once the device has been received and approved, payment is processed according to your selected payment method.
