Flip checklist for a Meta Quest 3S
A flip is a real buy price, minus fees and shipping, minus a real sell price. This page does not have those two prices, so it does not print a margin. Confirm XR2 Gen 2 before you buy something to resell. Quote is only for an item you already own, and only when a buyback source has published a price.
- Match the spec on the device or the packaging, not only in the title.
- Subtract the fee notes above and shipping before you treat a gap as money.
- Local pickup can skip shipping. Meet in public and confirm it works.
- A number in a video is that creator's example. Search live listings.
