The Oculus Rift with touch controllers is now priced at $350. Would you consider purchasing it and then attempting to sell your Vive for over $400?

The Vive is superior, so spending $50 isn't justified.

But I could earn more, such as selling it for $450 or $500. The least expensive Vive in my area is $550. I’m running low on cash, so I need some funds. lol

I have a rift and I really enjoy it...but I've heard the Vive works just as well for the headset. The Oculus Touch are better than the Vive controllers, but for the Rift you need to purchase a third sensor (which I did) and now I have full 360 coverage from floor to ceiling. Also, cable extensions are necessary to extend the range... overall the Rift is better because it supports all games from Steam and the Oculus Store. However, I wouldn't bother switching from the Vive just to make that change.

Additionally, you noticed they sell on Amazon, meaning you'll have to pay taxes there... consider buying from the Oculus store directly instead. I ordered from them and it was more affordable, and they don't charge any taxes or shipping fees.
