I suggest trying out and buying a VR headset for yourself, rather then for someone else.
If you're buying a VR headset for yourself, the first thing is to make sure your glasses can fit in it (the CV1 seems to have the most narrow faceplate of any high end VR headset, and no focus dial to make up for it).
If it's a used VR headset, make sure you check the state of the lenses because they scratch like nothing (although the DK2 was smart enough to have removable lenses, unlike the CV1).
I wouldn't buy a DK2 without a pair of (wired) Razor Hydra hand controllers (which are not supported by Oculus VR, but are at least supported by Steam), but that's just me.
Have you thought of buying a brand new Gear VR (around ~100 US$) and a (cheap used and outdated) second hand Samsung Smartphone for it instead : Unlike the DK2 that's something you CAN check right out to confirm if it's working, and the headset and it's lenses will be brand new... and supported (but no Touch controllers, and no positional tracking either). Make sure you buy the right combination of Gear VR and Smartphone model (or you'll get it wrong and they won't work together).
Would be nice if you had any friends/family who could share their VR headset with you for a bit, before you buy anything.
