Five thousand dollars and rising: This is the price per unit that Apple Vision Pro resellers outside of the US are asking for: 

At the beginning of the month, Apple made the Vision Pro—the company's first mixed reality headset—available to a small number of US customers. A resale market is being fueled by the AR/VR headset's limited release. Resellers outside the US are reportedly charging significantly more for the device than its $3,500 official starting price, according to a Bloomberg News article.

 
Outside of the US, resellers are requesting more for Vision Pro.

 
According to the source, the base 256GB variant of the Vision Pro retailed for 800,000 yen, or $5,400, in Japan's Mercari marketplace.

However, merchants on Taobao in China are requesting 36,000 yuan ($5,000). In the meantime, a seller on Lazada in Singapore was asking 8,500 Singapore dollars, or $6,300, for the gadget.
An electronics importer in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, who specializes in obtaining devices early, asked 35,800 Hong Kong dollars ($4,580), with prices fluctuating daily. Customers have likewise been encouraged by one importer to hold off until prices decrease.

Each buyer must go through a complex setup and customization process in order to use the Vision Pro headset. The company's goal with this process is to guarantee that users of its virtual reality goggles, which it refers to as a "spatial computer," have the best possible first experience. Additionally, hand gestures can be utilized to control the device.

 
What experts are saying regarding the costs of Vision Pro
The Vision Pro's declared pricing begs the question of how large the consumer market for extended reality (XR) devices is. But the early exclusivity of the smartphone might be driving up the resale value.

According to the newspaper, Ivan Lam, an analyst at Counterpoint Research, stated: "We have observed inflated prices on unofficial channels, reaching up to 40,000 yuan for Vision Pro units." But because these transactions are probably out of the ordinary for consumers and come from outside marketplaces, they probably represent a little supply.

 
Bryan Ma, an analyst at IDC, added that there are a number of reasons why people are motivated to get an early copy of the new gadget. Along with ardent Apple supporters, Ma observed that foreign software developers, business executives, and competitors are also attempting to obtain practical knowledge as soon as possible in order to determine their future course of action.
