I see $999.99 here for the Quest Pro on Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z7KGTVW/?coliid=I930RZTIKE8HS&colid=12J2WYIMS804U&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Can you possibly order from here?

The glare you describe could just be one of the drawbacks of the pancake lenses. Is it like the outside edge of the lens is glowing? I get that sometimes.

But you are right. When new, there is plastic stuck to the lenses, and a carboard insert in front of the lenses in the box.

Can you share the Amazon link you got it from? (Delete everything after the ? in the URL.)

Here is the one I got it from: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Z7KGTVW

You have to be careful because multiple sellers besides Meta are selling it on there.

Edit... LOL there are multiple people trying to sell it used for over $1000!
