Sell your Meta Quest for cash
The novelty lasted about two weeks. The cupboard shelf life has lasted rather longer. Let’s turn it back into cash, in under a minute.
How it works
Get your instant offer
Select Meta as the brand and get your instant offer.
Free collection
Accept it, and we’ll collect for free, anywhere in South Africa.
We test it
We test it against what you told us, no last-minute haggling on the tested offer.
Get paid
Paid within 5 days, or more via a voucher or consignment sale.
What determines your Meta Quest’s offer
Model and storage
Quest 2, Quest 3 or Quest Pro, plus storage capacity, are the biggest drivers of your offer.
Lens and headset condition
Scratches on the lenses or a damaged headset lower the offer. A clean unit gets you the best price.
Controllers included
Both controllers in working order improve your offer, a headset without controllers is still worth buying, just for less.
Powers on and boots (required)
It needs to power on and boot for us to make you an offer. If it’s stuck, try a factory reset or firmware update first, most boot issues fix that way.
Epic Deals vs the alternatives
We tried to make this a fair fight. It wasn’t.
| Epic Deals | Classifieds | Pawn shop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price haggling | No last-minute haggling | Constant lowballing | Take it or leave it |
| Payment speed | 5 days | Weeks to find a buyer | Immediate but low |
| Collection | Free nationwide courier | Meet a stranger | Walk-in only |
| Safety | VAT-registered, Ombud-accredited business | Fake-payment risk | Varies |
Why sell now, not later
Meta doesn’t slow down just because yours still works perfectly well. VR hardware moves fast, each new Quest generation brings a real jump in display and tracking quality, which makes older units noticeably less desirable with every launch. Selling while yours is still current gets you more than selling once it’s yesterday’s headset.
Why South Africans sell to us specifically
Epic Deals has paid South Africans over R88 million for their used tech since 2013 (yes, actually paid, not “up to”), with 1,800+ real customer reviews. We’re not a stranger from a classifieds app, we’re a registered, VAT-paying South African business with a track record you can check, and a participant in the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud Scheme, the independent, CPA-accredited dispute resolution body for retail complaints in South Africa.
Want more than the instant cash offer?
Cash
The fastest way to turn “gathering dust” into money in your account, paid within 5 days once we’ve collected and tested your Quest.
Voucher+12%
Trade the offer for store credit instead of cash, worth 12% extra, handy if there’s a new headset (or literally anything else) already on your radar.
Consignment
We list and sell it on your behalf. Slower than the instant offer, but patience tends to pay: paid on average within about 13 working days, usually for more than you’d get upfront.
Frequently asked questions
Do you buy Quest headsets that won’t turn on or boot?
It needs to power on and boot for us to make you an offer. If it’s stuck, try a factory reset or firmware update first, that fixes most boot issues. If it still won’t boot after that, unfortunately we’re not able to buy it.
Do you buy Quest headsets with scratched lenses?
Yes, we buy them across a range of conditions. Lens scratches lower the offer rather than ruling it out.
Do I need to sign out of my Meta account first?
No, a hardware factory reset clears the headset for a new owner with no account credentials needed from you.
Do I need both controllers?
No, but including both in working order improves your offer.
How long until I get paid?
Within 5 days of us receiving and testing your headset, by EFT. Or take our voucher for 12% extra to spend in-store, or sell on consignment for potentially even more.
Is the courier really free?
Yes, free nationwide courier collection anywhere in South Africa.
Which Quest models do you buy?
Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest Pro. Get an instant offer for your specific model.
Is there a safer way to sell than meeting a stranger from Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree?
That’s exactly what we built this for. No in-person demos needed, just a tested offer, free courier collection and a real payment into your account.
