Every year, the latest iPhone Pro Max gets picked up by scalpers making $200-$300 a pop.
6 weeks is an eternity for those with the money and desire for Apple products.
When iPhone 4 was launched, it wasn't available in China. Scalpers easily got 100-150% margins on each unit.
200,000 $3K headsets at launch?This is going to blow your mind but this is a failure.
Meta sold 20 Million and it’s still not a success
Meta Has Sold Nearly 20 Million Quest Headsets, But Retention Struggles Remain
Meta has sold nearly 20 million Quest headsets, but the company continues to struggle with keeping customer using VR. According to a report by The Verge, citing an internal Meta presentation held today, the company has sold nearly 20 million Quest headsets. This likely includes Quest 1, Quest 2...www.roadtovr.com
Looking forward to see what developers do with this thing. Clearly Apple didn’t know either.
I'd call that pretty good going tbh
For better or worse (and for society as a whole it's definitely going to be worse) this is only the start.
Crazy. That's understandable for a ~$1000 device. Not so sure it'll work for a $3500 device.
Your lack of understanding given the short sentences doesn't make sense
200,001 so this product is dead on arrival.
Based on the number of bids (lack of thereof), I don't think scalpers are having much success. It doesn't help that Apple charges $199 for custom fit Light Seal and in-store pickup is still availability within few days to a week from the launch date in most location.
Not really crazy. Places like Russia and Middle East, don't even get the latest iPhone now, much less Vision Pro. There's a lot of rich people around the world.
I don’t care how many they sold right now. Let’s see how many people keep after the initial 14 day and how sales are as the months go on.
I think there is a risk of a high return rate ….due to
a) cost, if I was unsure or in any way unhappy then 3500+ is a tempting refund.
b) lack of detailed prior product review information leading to unfulfilled expectation.

No, mostly onto carry on luggage and direct flights to Hong Kong, Beijing, Dubai, London.
Serious scalpers do the legwork themselves rather than let eBay soak commission and add courier risk.
Some quick math...
200,000 units at $3,500 a pop... is $700 million in gross sales revenue.

More than likely, I would have ordered one but for the fact Zeiss doesn’t make my prescription. I’m waiting to see if HonsVR or VROptician decides to make lenses. My guess is they or someone else will. Anyway, I have really high astigmatism and Zeiss says they don’t make my Rx as of yet.
Challenge accepted.
It's time to buy stock in drawer manufacturers as that's where most of them are going to end up 😛
Though seriously, I wouldn't bet on this either succeeding or failing.
I’m not buying one because I think it’s meh i’m just waiting for the usual Youtubers telling us how pretty it is and and whatever else they think about it.
Sounds like a lot, but that's like two days of iPhone sales.
Apple sells over 200 million iPhones per year, or about 500k per day. At an ASP of $700, that's $350 million per day.
So you're waiting for iJustine, eh?
“iPhone will flop!”….source: many many reviewers and macrumors members in 2007
That’s a very low bar. So let’s say that they only make 10 and 20 show interest you call that a success for Apple?
Yep, has she ever not liked a product?
No after their annoying “Why I’m returning my Vision Pro” after their annoying reviews
