Used VR headsets in Richmond, British Columbia typically sell for C$170 to C$605 (about $120 to $430). VR headsets sell on generation and on the state of the lenses and controllers — and one detail decides usability entirely: whether the headset needs a PC or runs standalone.
Selling a VR headset in Richmond
Richmond is built on flat delta islands at sea level, protected by dykes, and it has one of the highest proportions of residents born outside the country of any city in Canada. The international airport sits inside its boundaries, which shapes a great deal of the local economy.
Airport and logistics work turns over on shift and contract cycles, and a highly international population means households are set up and cleared on international moves rather than local ones — which usually means everything goes at once.
The city is completely flat, which makes it one of the easiest places in the region to move anything, and the dyke paths are genuinely useful for cycling. The rapid transit line to the airport is the obvious landmark for a small handover.
The whole city sits at or near sea level behind dykes, so ask whether anything stored at ground level has been damp. It is a normal question here and honest sellers will answer it directly.
Handing it over in Richmond
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

- Platforms still receiving software support
What pulls it down
- Face padding that is worn or unhygienic
- Missing controllers, which are expensive individually
Working out what yours is worth

- Confirm both controllers pair and track properly
Getting it ready
- Factory reset it and remove it from your account, which on most platforms is a separate step.
- Inspect the lenses carefully for scratches and for sun damage, which happens if a headset is left facing a window.

Brand, model and type: “Meta Quest 2 128GB Standalone VR Headset” or “Valve Index PC VR Headset, Full Kit”. Standalone versus PC-tethered is the critical distinction, and storage matters on standalone units. Say whether controllers and charger are included.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
