Quest 3S and the 512GB Quest 3 certified refurbished are just $216 and $360 respectively this week on Meta’s official US eBay page.
First spotted by IGN, you can find the Quest 3S deal here and the Quest 3 deal here. For both headsets, you need to enter eBay’s discount code TECH4THEM to get the lowest price.
The code expires after 11:59pm Pacific Time on Sunday, the end of this week.
Meta claims that its certified refurbished headsets “are inspected and thoroughly tested, professionally cleaned, and restored to original factory settings so they function and look like new and include the same accessories and cables as new devices”. And eBay is offering a two-year certified refurbished warranty, a year longer than you’d get even if buying a new headset from Meta.com.
Meta Now Sells Quest 3S Refurbished For $270
Meta now offers Quest 3S refurbished from $270, though you can get the headset new for that price for the next few days.

Quest 3S certified refurbished is normally $270, and the lowest we’ve seen it sold at brand new is $250, so the $216 offer here represents by far the lowest price we’ve ever seen for a fully standalone headset with included tracked controllers, hand tracking, and color mixed reality.
Meanwhile, Quest 3 certified refurbished at $360 is arguably an even better deal, as the only remaining 512GB model certified refurbished is normally $450.
While Quest 3S can run all the same content as Quest 3, and has the same fundamental capabilities (including the same XR2 Gen 2 chipset and 8GB RAM), if you have the funds we always recommend Quest 3 over Quest 3S. The proper Quest 3 features Meta’s advanced pancake lenses which are clearer and sharper over a wider area, have a wider field of view, and are fully horizontally adjustable, suitable for essentially everyone’s eyes. These pancake lenses also enable Quest 3 to be thinner, which makes the headset feel slightly less heavy.
Still, at just $216, Quest 3S certified refurbished enters the realm of an impulse buy for many, or perhaps an impulse gift for the holiday season to bring a friend or loved one into VR.
