Apple's Vision Pro headset is selling like hotcakes, and resale at high prices on eBay has surged

Apple’s latest Vision Pro head-mounted display device has encountered a hot rush after pre-orders started last night. Due to insufficient initial stocking, the inventory was sold out only 18 minutes after the order was opened. Two hours after the order was opened, the delivery date has been postponed to March, and some orders will not even be shipped until April. This situation shows the high level of consumer interest and expectations for this innovative product. Although Apple is facing supply chain pressure, they are committed to doing their best to meet customer needs and speeding up production to shorten delivery times.

Users who managed to snap up devices with early shipping dates have begun reselling their Vision Pro headsets on second-hand trading platforms such as eBay. They took advantage of the tight supply of Apple devices and sold them at a higher price than the official selling price, attracting some consumers who were unwilling to wait for a long time.

According to the editor’s understanding, the Vision Pro headset announced on Apple’s official website is priced at US$3,499 for the 256GB version, US$3,699 for the 512GB version, and US$3,899 for the 1TB version. However, on the eBay platform, the price of the same device has been significantly increased. The starting price of the 256GB version has reached US$4,000, the 512GB version costs at least US$4,500, and the 1TB version starts at as high as US$5,500. Although the number of devices resold at high prices is not large, this phenomenon still triggers discussions about the relationship between supply and demand in the market.

Purchasing a Vision Pro headset at a price much higher than the official price is risky for consumers. Additionally, because these devices are resale items, consumers cannot customize them to their personal preferences and can only choose based on the original purchaser’s measurements. Therefore, these factors should be carefully considered before purchasing.

Taking the 512GB version of Vision Pro as an example, the resale price on the eBay platform has reached as high as US$6,000, which is a 62% premium compared to the official original price of US$3,699. This price difference may deter many consumers. However, for those who are eager to try out Apple's latest headset, they may be willing to pay extra for it.
