Prepare to Pay Double the Retail Price if You Want Apple Vision Pro at Launch – Here’s the Reason
Apple’s new Vision Pro is now available for pre-order in the US, starting at $3,499 for the 256GB model and $3,899 for the 1TB model. However, due to high demand, it may be difficult to get one at launch or soon after. According to some reports, delivery times could be as late as March.
Due to the high demand for the Vision Pro, some people have bought units and then sold them at a higher price on websites like eBay. This means that people who want to buy the Vision Pro may have to wait longer or pay more than the retail price.
A quick search on eBay will tell you the whole story. We can confirm that units cost up to $6,000 and average around $4,000 to $5,000.
The Vision Pro mix headphones in particular are already an expensive product, and when retailers take advantage of the stock shortage, customers may end up paying up to double the retail price when buying from these sellers.
This is not recommended considering an important factor: Vision Pro is not a one-size-fits-all product. When buying directly from Apple’s website or offline retail stores, Apple scans your face and carefully selects the appropriate size for the Light Seal and other products in the package based on the size of your head, ensuring an ideal user experience. Buying from a scalper can lead to a worse fit and experience.
The Vision Pro also comes with optical add-ons, and while you can buy them later, it’s best to purchase them with your initial purchase for optimal use of the headset.
However, you should not give up on buying Vision Pro headphones directly from these scalpers. This would only further encourage their practices, making it difficult for genuine buyers to obtain these products at retail prices. If you come across the information, it is recommended to ignore the ad and purchase the device directly from Apple.
