Apple Inc.’s limited release of the Vision Pro headset is fostering a resale market that’s pricing the device far beyond its $3,500 starting price.
On Japan’s Mercari marketplace, the base 256GB model sold for ¥800,000 ($5,400), sellers on China’s Taobao are asking 36,000 yuan ($5,000) and there’s one seller on Singapore’s Lazada seeking S$8,500 ($6,300) for the device. In Hong Kong’s bustling Mong Kok, an electronics importer specializing in getting gadgets early asks for HK$35,800 ($4,580), with the price shifting on a daily basis. His advice: best to wait.
