LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* buys Meta Quest headsets and every current VR headset in Boston — tested in store, powered on and played with at the counter, and paid in cash the same visit. The Quest line leads our board: Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro and Quest 2 all move fast here, and so does the rest of the new VR technology — Apple Vision Pro, PlayStation VR2, Valve Index and HTC Vive. If it straps on and lights up, text us a photo of it.

The VR headsets we buy
- Meta Quest 3 — the current flagship; higher-storage models pay more
- Meta Quest 3S — sealed and like-new units move fastest
- Meta Quest Pro — the full kit with charging dock and Pro controllers
- Meta Quest 2 — still bought daily; complete kits only, please
- Apple Vision Pro — with battery, charger and both bands
- PlayStation VR2 — headset, Sense controllers and the PS5 it pairs with
- Valve Index — full kit: headset, knuckle controllers and base stations
- HTC Vive and Vive Pro headsets and kits
- VR accessories — elite straps, charging docks, carrying cases, extra controllers and battery packs
- Bundles — headset plus games library, extra controllers and accessories, priced as a lot
Complete kits pay the most, every time. A headset with both controllers, the charger and cable, and its box is a fast, top offer. A bare headset with no controllers still gets an offer — but the controllers are half the product, so dig them out of the drawer before you come in. Factory-sealed headsets are the single fastest payout in this category.
What makes a headset pay more
- Both controllers present, working, with no stick drift
- Original charger, cable and box
- Higher storage models — storage size is real money on Quest 3 and 3S
- Clean lenses — no scratches, no sun damage on the displays
- Factory seal intact on new units
- Extras included — elite strap, dock, case, battery packs
- Accounts signed out and the headset factory-reset before you arrive (we can walk you through it by text)
VR is tested the only honest way: powered on, displays checked, lenses inspected, controllers paired and sticks tested, tracking run through its paces — all at the counter, in front of you. Ten minutes of testing is what separates a top offer from a guess, and it is why our number on a clean, complete kit is a strong one.
Authenticated in store — no receipt needed
Every headset is powered on and function-tested in store before any offer — displays, lenses, tracking, controllers and charging are all verified at the counter, in front of you. Serial numbers are recorded on every buy, exactly as Massachusetts law requires. No receipt? No problem. A receipt is never required to sell or pawn with us; the headset and its condition carry the value, though the box and receipt do support a stronger offer.
The more you bring in, the more you get. One headset is a sale; a full VR setup is a payout. Headset plus the console or PC gear it runs with, spare controllers, docks and game bundles are priced as lots — and the more you bring in, the more you get.
Conditions we buy
- Factory sealed — pays the most
- Like new, complete kit with box — top offers
- Used and complete — headset, both controllers, charger
- Headset with missing accessories — still quoted; text photos first
- Bundles with consoles, PCs and accessories — priced as lots
Bring a valid photo ID. Sellers and borrowers are 18+ with ID; every buy is recorded and reported exactly as Massachusetts law requires.
How it works
1. Text photos first. Photos of your VR headset, front and back, plus any details, to 857-867-6468 — get a realistic range before you travel.
2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). We authenticate and price the item at the counter, in front of you.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.
Sell it, or borrow against it and keep it?
A Quest 3 or a Vision Pro is genuine collateral. Sell it for cash on the spot — or take a pawn loan at 3% per month* for up to 4 months, renewable, and your headset is stored securely until you redeem it. Bigger tech bundles are handled privately in our VIP room.
Private VIP room: for loans and purchases over $2,000, ask about our private VIP room when you book — high-value pieces are handled there, not across a busy counter.
Why bring your headset here?
Mail-in buyers quote one number online, then grade your piece down in a warehouse you have never seen — and hold your item hostage while you argue.
Marketplaces and consignment mean weeks of messages, flakes, fees and scam risk on a piece worth serious money.
At LBC Pawn your VR headset is authenticated and priced at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or a loan ticket and your ownership intact.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the item to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.
What a loan costs — in plain numbers
| If you borrow | After month 1 | After month 2 | After month 3 | After month 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $111 | $114 | $117 | $120 |
That first month includes the one-time 8% charge; after that it is a flat 3% per month. No hidden fees, no surprises — the full cost is printed on your ticket.
*Pawn loans: 3% per month interest plus a one-time 8% charge in the first month only. Example: a $100 loan costs $111 after month 1, $114 after month 2, $117 after month 3 and $120 after month 4. Loans run up to 4 months and may be renewed by paying the interest due. Borrowers must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. Items not redeemed by the end of the loan term may be sold as allowed by Massachusetts law.

Every piece is authenticated and priced item by item, in front of you — and the more you bring in, the more you get.
Questions we hear
- Do you buy a Quest with no controllers?
- Yes, but the controllers are half the product — a complete kit pays far more. Text us photos of exactly what you have to 857-867-6468 and we will quote it as it sits.
- Should I factory-reset my headset before selling?
- Yes — sign out of your Meta or Apple account and factory-reset it. A headset still locked to an account cannot be fully tested, and an untestable headset cannot get a top offer. If you are not sure how, text us and we will walk you through it.
- Do you buy Apple Vision Pro and PlayStation VR2 too?
- Yes — Vision Pro, PS VR2, Valve Index and HTC Vive are all bought here, alongside the full Meta Quest line. New VR technology is one of our favorite categories: if it just came out, we want to see it.
- Do I need the box or a receipt?
- No receipt is ever required. The box, charger and both controllers help the offer a lot on VR gear, so bring whatever you kept.
- Can I pawn my headset instead of selling it?
- Yes — borrow against it at 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge) for up to 4 months, renewable, and it is stored securely until you redeem it.
