Social media was flooded with screenshots and links to a deal called the Meta Quest Pro All-In-One VR Headset on Macy’s website, but the deal is no longer available. The website now says, “Sorry, this item is currently unavailable.” Is this a scam or was it just a marketing mistake? The item was sold by random websites and currently has no backing from Macy. Here’s all you need to know.
Why Was the Meta Quest Pro Offered at $39.99?
There are two main reasons why the Meta Quest Pro All-In-One VR Headset was listed for $39.99:
Scam Attempt: It could be a scam by a lesser-known company, like Rainforest Deals. Scammers often use the names of well-known stores to make their fake deals look real and trick people into thinking they’re getting a bargain.
Website Error: It might have been a mistake on Macy’s website, possibly caused by a glitch in their pricing system. Here are the major red flags of this deal:
Red Flags
Price Seems Too Good to Be True
The advertised price is €200 less than the official Meta store, which is unusual for a new product. The Meta Quest Pro typically sells for thousands of dollars, and even if there were a discount, it wouldn’t be this low.
Identical Ads with Different Details
The advertisement is exactly the same as others, with various names and addresses appearing on the same day including on third party websites like Forestdeals.com
Macy’s Hasn’t Made Any Official Announcement
Macy’s hasn’t released any statement or approved third-party sellers for their products. When Macy’s offers big discounts, they usually make a formal announcement or run a marketing campaign to let customers know.
Our Review
As of now, the deal is no longer available on Macy’s website. If you want to buy the Meta Quest Pro at a lower price, find an used one and test it before you buy, or buy on official Store. Even though no one has been scammed, it looks like the chance to buy a Meta Quest Pro for less than $40 is gone. Most people who ordered at that price will likely end up getting refunds but most who ordered from third party webs items may likely not get any in return.
