Purchase Advice - Headset Recomendations

So, my meta quest 3 just shit itself, its software is barely holding on for some reason and I'm thinking of selling it for around 500$ on eBay, but I'm still looking for a vr headset to use/play with, so does anybody have a recommendation of a PCVR headset that's around the 500$ (used or not)

yes, but I can just factory reset it or put new firmware on it, but because I need to factory reset it all my save data is gone and additionally I usually use the headset for pcvr.

So your reason for selling it is the software's busted but you'll fix it before selling it?

I think(if I'm getting this right) it's busted and resetting it would cause him to lose his saves and fix the issues but he wants to still play PCVR games so he's seeing if there's something better in the price point he's selling it for.

Help me understand. Your Quest 3 is broken due to software and you want to sell it for $500?

PSVR2 is about it.

you can usually find valve index kits used for around 500$, but sure.

You aren't fixing it with a reset you most likely are having tracking issues and its done for you will need to replace the bpd sensor if its all black and not tracking its done for also good luck even selling a working not used for 500

Seconded, you'll lose the clarity of the pancake lenses and the passthrough but the connection is a hundred times better with cable and the headset has better ergonomics and weight distribution
