Buying DJI drones from Amazon is like playing Russian roulette. You’ll run into refurbished, returned, or different units. Yes, you will get your money back, but it will save you from all that hassle.

I honestly can’t dispute any of that. I guess I would be willing to take the gamble in certain situations. It’s a personal choice and possibly (not necessarily probably) unwise. I say all this as I never pulled the trigger on the ‘climate sustainability’ Air 3 that was in my Amazon cart for a year, and purchased my Air 3S straight from DJI, so let me shut it up 
I was always nervous, I can’t lie. It’s the deals though. Sometimes a deal is worth a gamble. I guess this stuff is out of my gambling price range. An older Mini though, can’t lie, probably gonna gamble.
