Looks like I am going to have to buy a new oculus.

Havent you already been told in your other post on the same subject, that you have no insurance with oculus if you have a second hand rift. Why start another post on the same subject?

Even if you did have that information, you're not the original purchaser, so you won't get warranty support from Oculus. You would have to get the guy you bought it from to make the claim, and he would have to lie to Oculus about the fact that he sold it.

But the one you have has worked fine - you have posted that on here - are you sure it isn't your system?

What are your specs molokow?   :*

He has a 486 with 512k ram and a super fast floppy drive ;)

Not funny... If I were you I would think twice before buying Oculus again.

Or think double twice about buying a second hand oculus product ?

I purchased used oculus too, but It was paid by cash and I have the receipt, yet from what I read here I don't get the warranty... why?

in the uk at least, this is not something to be mad at oculus for

if the 2nd hand seller was a business it seems he has some comback on the seller, but if it was a private sale, then looks like caveat emptor to me :(

(which sucks and i feel for him).

There are some things i buy 2nd hand without hesitation, usually when it is something bullet proof or so old that its simply impossible to get new any more so its Hobson's choice.

other times a bargain can be so good its worth the risk

however something like the rift which point 1 is not relevant and am guessing neither is point 2, i would not dream of going 2nd hand just for a few quid saving.

i doubt sony would honour a 2nd hand psvr, neither htc with 2nd hand vive, so @blastamasta what VR HMD do you know has a transferable warranty that you are suggesting OP should buy 2nd hand?

I sold my DK2 in December 2015, i fully tested it before selling, packaged it v carefully, and the buyer received it and confirmed it worked as described.  Had he got back to me a while later saying it was broken, I would have apologised but explained there was nothing i could do, after all, how would i know how it was treated in the time the new buyer had hold of it?.

And the fact that many times on here molokow has stated it works tells me the previous owner may well have only ever seen it working.
