I used this method to find the Quest in stock when it was hard to find in 2019, and you can use it in 2020. It’s still a good idea to check for it in apps or at the following stores, but with this option, you can get an alert when the Oculus Quest is in stock.

Where You Can Buy the Oculus Quest

Where you can buy the Oculus Quest.

The Oculus Quest is sold at a few stores directly, and you can also buy it from eBay if you want to get it faster or pay a premium. You can also buy directly from Oculus. Here’s where you can look for the Quest in stock in August 2020. Amazon and Best Buy have the Quest in stock a few times a day, and it goes fast when it is in stock.

We recommend placing an order at one of these places like Amazon and waiting to see if you find it in stock at another retailer before it ships.

You may have some luck checking GameStop, Best Buy, or Walmart locally, but it’s going to be very hit or miss.

The other option is to look for an Oculus Quest on eBay with fast shipping. When something is sold out you can still find it on eBay for a premium.

The Oculus Quest is going for about normal prices on eBay for models that are on hand. You can even buy direct from some retailers on eBay.

1 / 17

The Oculus Quest is a standalone VR headset that lets you play games without a powerful gaming computer or without plugging your phone into a headset.

With this setup, you get an immersive experience with no wires and you get two included controllers that really bring the experience together. There is no plugging in a phone or worrying about wires, you simply put the Quest on and you can start playing.

This isn't the first time this has been possible, but it is definitely the most well-rounded version we've used and it is one of the coolest things that the Oculus Quest does.
