Pristine Oculus Rift for sale

[Royal_Flight]

Selling a basically brand-new Oculus Rift with Touch controllers and a second sensor. Only used with BoX and DSC for about three hours in total, but never got over the seasickness and miss my screen and TrackIR combination.

All original packaging and still has the plastic covers over the USB cables. 

 

£300, probably able to post as well with postage at buyers’ expense.

Can provide photos.

When starting to pilot a glider it took me weeks to overcome that. On Rift it still took days.

 

3 hours is nothing. 

 

Since guarantee by manufacturer is only given to the first, direct customer - and very important for VR headsets - you will have a hard time selling a used VR set. There is not a single VR manufacturer that extends their guarantee voluntarily to second hand copies.

 

With that background, I suggest you give it another try (or give it back to original point of sale). If you need help setting things up, the folks here can be a real resource to help you.

Yeah it took me a couple of weeks to get used to the "simulator sickness".

The key is stopping as soon as you get the queasy feeling and the first hint of cold sweat, rest a couple of hours and then maybe try again.

You gradually get used to it, and even if you stop virtual flying for months, the sickness never comes back.

 

OTOH if you insist on flying when sick, rather than reach adaptation you develop a mental association between VR and motion sickness, to the point that even putting on the headset makes you sick

 

Last year I posted a US military report on simulator sickness, it appears it's more pronounced with the more experienced pilots, and that in time more than 95% of the subjects adapt and overcome the sickness.

I recommend also you google "Ginger Chicken Thai Recipe" to cook that for your next meal, and other recipes with ginger. I did that in the first few days, it helped immediately to grow VR legs.

 

It's proven to help with motion sickness and even professionals use that on cruises and shipping. Here's a nice article on it https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12576305

 

 

I remembered that trick from when I started flying gliders and sailing (I live at the coast).

I will give you $100 for it, it is used and has no warranty.

[BOO]

If you really cant live with it Ebay it  - the last 6 Ive watched have all gone for around the £270-300 mark.

Dont sell it for $1000, its an insult.

The cheapest used one on Ebay is mopre than $250 plus shipping.

Why would anyone pay such high prices? Are they still difficult to get hold of quickly or something?

Have you tried ButtKicker to manage motion sickness?
