Used VR headsets in Whyalla typically sell for A$170 to A$615 (about $120 to $430). VR headsets depreciate quickly and buyers focus on two things: lens condition and whether the platform is still supported.
Selling a VR headset in Whyalla
Whyalla is a steel town on the Spencer Gulf, built around the works and the shipyard that preceded them, in genuinely arid country. It is also known for the snapper fishing off the coast, and boats are a normal thing to own here rather than a luxury.
The steelworks dominates employment, so its fortunes move the local market as a whole rather than gradually. Fishing equipment turns over steadily as people upgrade, and it sells fast when it appears.
Driving is the default, the town is flat and parking is not a problem. For a boat or trailer, agree where it can be hitched before the day.
Salt air off the gulf is hard on metal. Check fastenings, bearings and any exposed hardware for corrosion, and on a boat trailer look at the brakes rather than the frame.
Whyalla, in South Australia, has around 22,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Adelaide, Mount Gambier and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Does it need a PC?
State it plainly. A PC-tethered headset is useless to a buyer without a capable computer, and this is the most common mismatch in the category.
