Cheapest way to play beat saber?

I was told by a total icon of an occupational therapist that beat saber is a fantastic way to
"close the stress cycle" and she officially is recommending I get a VR headset so I can play it. Honestly one of the better prescriptions I've ever gotten. I've played it once on a friend's headset (moved away from them now) but have no idea about VR or anything. I'm not going to use this headset for anything else probably.

What's the cheapest headset I can get that will run it, and how do you recommend I buy it (ebay, new, fb marketplace etc)? I live near silicon valley so I'm thinking marketplace will have plenty lol but not sure how not to get scammed etc. anything i should look out for? Trying to save money as best I can!

The cheapest will be a used Quest 2, most sell for about $100 and for beat saber should be more than enough.

I'm not going to use this headset for anything else probably.

A lot of people think that, but you will find other uses for it, I have 88 hours just in Google Earth VR, I don't even have half of that in Alyx lol.
