How much is a refurbished CV1 headset GOING FOR at Oculus?

Wildt

During the end of the warranty period on my CV1, I RMA'ed it because of the well  known audio strap issue. I got a refurbished replacement, which now has a broken IPD sensor.
Warranty has expired, but the good folk at Oculus are offering me to buy a refurbished headset with 6 months of warranty. No controllers or sensors - just the HMD.

How many Euros do you guys think they're charging for it?
PCVR: CV1 || 4 sensors || TPcast wireless adapter || MamutVR Gun stock V3
PSVR: PS4 Pro || Move Controllers || Aim controller

Was that the price Oculus wanted for a refurbished, or are you reffering to pricetags in this thread ?

You'll get cheaper on Ebay with controllers and sensors mate !!!

Are you sure you can¨t fix it yourself ?
 It's just the mechanical slider for the IPD that seems disconnected ?

I would find some CV1 teardown videos on youtube and try to fix it myself if I were in your shoes.

I did a lot of digging - and I've read about people with way better fix it skills than me give up on this. I'll surely break something beyond repair.
The value is stuck at 59, which is somewhat appropriate for my 9 year old daughter, so it's still of some use I guess.

But it's REALLY an easy fix in the software if Oculus cared. Just implement a registry value that overrides the sensor readout, and I could 1-click swap between the IPDs of my family members.

EDIT: @klodsbrik it's not the mechanical slider that's broken - it's the sensor that tells the software what position it's in. The software needs this to setup correct viewports for the rendering. If the value is off, the world scale seems off - especially things close to your eyes.
