They do not, in fact sell such a headset, in that it is permanently out of stock. You can risk buying it used for $1800…

It still shows the headset in stock in the US. The bundles, controllers, and lighthouses seem to be out of stock though, which is likely because they're a much more popular product (the controllers/lighthouses break quite often, and they're often used with other headsets as well).

You cannot buy a functioning Valve Index. And you wouldn't want one, because its 7 years out of date.
