Hi,
My wife bought me a HTC Vive about 5 years ago. I've used it for about 15 hrs all up since I got it. I thought I needed it for sim racing, but should have known better because I get car sick. The best use I've got out of it was just sitting in a car and looking around because it does look pretty cool with the lighting and stuff.
Anyway I've been meaning to sell it for years because I can't drive more than a couple of laps without getting nauseous, and even if I thought I was getting used to it, if the car suddenly stopped because I hit a wall or ditch I'd almost throw up instantly.
It'll be going on Gumtree for $450 on the 15th April. It's the full retail kit: Headset, 2X controllers, 2XBase Stations, 1X link box and all the cables , power , and chargers. Still has the spare face foam.
If anyone would like to purchase it please message me. $380. I'm in Ipswich near Brisbane.
If no-one here wants it that's cool, I just wanted to offer it here first.
Mods: If there's another area in the forums where this would be more appropriate please move it.
Cheers
Darren

That's a good tip about motion sickness. I get car sick (and sea sick), so VR would probably be no good for me.

I'll have to consult with my personal VR expert.
Roo, is this one any good? ???

I do not like to bag a product that someone is trying to sell, but resolution specs are low:
Headset Specs
Screen: Dual AMOLED 3.6'' diagonal
Resolution: 1080 x 1200 pixels per eye (2160 x 1200 pixels combined)
Refresh rate: 90 Hz
Field of view: 110 degrees
HP Reverb G2 specs are:
2160 x 2160 panel resolution per eye
4320 x 2160 pixels combined

It's not bagging if it's accurate Roo. I haven't bothered keeping up with the VR info because I won't be going into VR again unless it can be done without a headset so wouldn't have a clue. I wouldn't want someone to be disappointed, and I should be able to offload it on Gumtree. I just wanted to offer it here first in case anyone wanted it.

It's actually a really good buy for a starting setup. 2 new controllers will cost you more than the asking price alone. Dave O.
