3D vision 2 kit price hike
After the news from Nvidia that they were stopping support for 3D vision. I decided I was going to buy an extra kit just in case mine broke down the road. I had initially put a bid for on e-bay for $25 for one, but soon forgot about it. I didn't think I would win it, So, I ordered one from Amazon for $138.07. Turns out, I get an email notification from Ebay later saying I had won my auction for $25 to my surprise. So Now I am stuck with 2 sets when I actually just wanted one for piece of mind. So I decided to return the amazon one. However, since this was from a 3rd party company and not sold from Amazon, I would have to pay a 20% restocking fee, and also pay for shipping on top of that as they will not issue a return lbl. This kind of sucks. However, I'm seeing on Amazon that the same store and many others are now selling the Kit for $185 a big difference from the $138 I paid only a few days after I bought mine. So I'm looking at either refunding my set and getting around $100 back out of my $138 or keeping it and maybe selling myself? What would you guys do?

I know this is not related to your question but are you going for 3D Vision 2 or 1 and what is the differnce? Damn shame about the price hike. I was gonna do an incremental upgrade from my main monitor. I game on my OLED but have been looking at a smaller monitor for RTS games and for times when depending on my next location the OLED won't be in my bedroom

Are you sure that $25 set has working glasses? I bought a few pair of new in the box and they are dead on arrival. You can supposedly "jump start" the depleted lithium battery but it didn't work for me.

Other than that, they still operate the same way. You can use Version 2 glasses with the original pyrimid and such.

I will leave them charging overnight to make sure. but I have already msged the seller. Thanks for the heads up.
