Assessing the initial sales figures for Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality headsets presents a challenge, and it’s even more difficult to verify the authenticity of every purchase. Rough estimates suggest that about 180,000 units were sold over the first weekend, hinting at a sell-out of the Cupertino-based company’s Spatial Computing debut. A search on eBay reveals numerous listings for the Vision Pro, raising questions about their legitimacy.

Pre-Order Resales Flood Online Marketplaces

Since Apple hasn’t begun shipping the Vision Pro yet, with pre-orders starting on January 19 and shipping set for February 2, most eBay listings seem to be selling the promise of a future product. Sellers are listing the pre-ordered headsets, with some even guaranteeing same-day shipment upon receipt, provided it arrives before a specified cutoff time.

Price Variations and Potential Risks for Buyers

The asking prices for these eBay listings vary dramatically, ranging from below $600 to over $7,000, despite the base model’s official price of $3,499.99. While markups are expected, the feasibility of someone paying twice the retail price for an unproven product is questionable. Listings under $1,000 are particularly suspicious, as they likely wouldn’t cover the seller’s cost, suggesting they might be bait to attract interest and drive up bids.

The Vision Pro is Apple’s first new product category since the release of the Apple Watch in 2015. It aims to establish a new category in Spatial Computing with its advanced features, including M2 and R1 chips. The product has been praised for its immersive capabilities and potential impact on various industries, though there’s a risk of it not catching on with consumers unfamiliar with the technology‘s value.

Potential eBay buyers should be wary of pricing discrepancies and compatibility issues. The Vision Pro requires a face scan for proper fitting, and there’s no guarantee a pre-ordered headset will fit another user. Additionally, those who require prescription glasses must purchase custom inserts, which may not be included in the eBay purchase.

Apple has been contacted regarding the eBay listings, and their response is awaited. The situation brings to light the complexities and potential pitfalls of reselling high-demand tech products online.
