Worth a gamble

[justdon]

My question guys everybody by now knows iam brand new at this.I have some drones now and still learning.This guy is having a garage sale soon because he is moving he said this dji was his sons but his son moved cross country and told his dad that he could sell it he said what he knows for sure one propeller is broken and the camera is broken anything else about it he says he does not know.If I made him an offer what should I offer him and would it be worth it and as you can see its a dji phantom 3.So guys what would you do?

Looks like they are going around 380.00 on eBay. I found a camera for 220.00.

About 160.00 without a camera, but you are taking a risk and having to perform or pay for the repair. A solid offer would be 75.00, and lowball would be 50.00.

Good luck!

... He may have no idea what it's really worth so I'd wave a crisp "Benjamin" ($100 bill) under his nose and see if he bites.
If he's hesitant advise him that it's a "pig in the poke" and you have no idea what the extent and amount of your repair costs will
be to get it airworthy again.

Strange camera you posted.

“Broken and untested.”

So I went to the garage sale this am.He let seven of us bid on it.His wife put our little pieces of paper with our names and bids on them in a fish bowl.And he read out the bids one by one.I bidded 130 but another guy beat me with a bid of 140.So one of these days I might find a bargain somewhere.So I gave the guy my phone number because I wanted to know how much he had to spend to mike it fly again.

Better luck next time @justdon. What about building one?

I never lost money on a purchase I didn't make.

There will be other drones.As my dad use to say you miss something and chances are you could find a deal that's a lot better.As for as me building one maybe in the future but at the present time that would be a disaster for me.

I must say KentA that is absolutely right.

There was a risk, and you could have lost. Hopefully nothing is seriously wrong with the quad and the other guy comes out good, but he only saved 20 bucks. I would rather just pay 380 for a flying P2 with a good camera.

$240.00 and there is nothing wrong with it
