Because he’s an idiot?
Comment on The Apple Vision Pro’s eBay prices are making me sad
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 months agoBeing a tech reporter is one of the small areas I understand someone buying one of these, but why on earth isn’t the verge paying that for him?

Because the verge wasn’t stupid enough to buy into that insanity. The Verge.
Tech reporting is difficult in the gadget sphere - but in reporting chances are you know someone who has it. Network a bit. Borrow it and do a full review after you publish a piece that maybe discusses the product beforehand so you don’t miss the initial clicks. Or better still - maybe publish a piece on why you didn’t think it prudent to finance 4k for a product that the manufacturer doesn’t know what to do with.

Wasn’t there a return window? I’d imagine that’d be enough to do a review

Honestly I don’t know. Based on reviews I know that at least part of the product is ‘sized’ for your face. I know they say scanned but realistically it’s a base measurement of your eyes and maybe a few values to pick one of the premade face gaskets. I wouldn’t put it past apple to hit you 20% restock less the ‘custom’ parts. So 6-700 bucks to write a review?
