I know its a long shot with the new Half Life game out but thought I'd give it a shot. Show me what you got
 
I've got a Rift setup that I'd consider parting with since I have an Index. Rift with Touch controllers, an extra camera sensor (3 in total), USB 3.0/2.0 extension cables + a few extra VR covers (facial interfaces). All original boxes - I'm the original owner. 100% functional and in excellent condition, from a non-smoking household. PM me if interested - not really wanting to sell all that badly as I like having it as a back-up VR rig, but willing to let it go for $300 as a local pick-up (Minneapolis) or $335 shipped via Priority US Mail.
 
I've got the first oculus rift in box that comes with the xbox one controller as well and remote. And an extra boxed sensor. A vive hub to properly extend the hdmi and usb 3.0 cables to an extra 15' away and active usb 3.0 cables and hdmi cable.

Light use and everything works. Original owner! Can even add in the 3 camera sensor mounts.

So complete kit.. everything ya need besides a pc.

Cheap for around $206 + shipping (Michigan 48044).

The rift has better hardware then the rift s from a technical standpoint but a bigger PIA to setup

Ya, I always considered the Rift S more a side grade then a real upgrade to the Rift. While setup is MUCH easier and visual quality has improved slightly, those are really the only "improvements". They really slid backwards in so many other design/feature areas that I just couldn't bring myself to upgrade. (I.E. much lower refresh rate, a horrible built-in sound solution, less ergonomic and smaller touch controllers whose inverted rings now get in the way much like WMR controllers (messes with rifle gun sighting near your head), tracking that drops if the view to the headset's sensor cameras are occluded or the controllers get too close, a HMD that is unusable in dim or very dark environments (Rift is fine in low light), a heavier HMD, etc. I really view the Rift S as a very minor upgrade because of all this. So, yes, if you don't have either, get the Rift S, but those with a Rift are going to have to live with dropping a lot of features by "upgrading".
 
bump, wrote a little python script that scrapes all the major sites for stock every 15 minutes in the meantime, apparently they restock a few times a week

pm me if you want it
