Found on Facebook marketplace. He wants $550+ for this (it’s maybe worth $375 private party sale).
He was the founding president of his high school’s drone club. He knows what he’s got, no low ballers.
(He thinks the bag alone is worth $215; I offered him $300 for just the RC, batteries and charger, citing prices on eBay and MPB, with links, expecting a reasonable counter).
You can bring a horse to water…
$215 for a lunchbox that doesn’t even keep your food warm? Yikes.

And don’t forget the $35 cardboard box—‘like new, never flown.’

Seems like everyone’s selling a cardboard box these days. Must be a trend.

Yeah but imagine the karma from posting a pic of that ‘rare’ box lol.

Personally, I wouldn’t waste my time arguing with someone like that.

Normally I wouldn’t either, but I’ve got a shoot next week and buying local would’ve saved me shipping time. Gave him one reply and left it at that.
Facebook marketplace is full of wild prices. Yesterday a guy wanted $770 for a used jet pump that’s $379 new. Total nonsense.

And then they wonder why nobody buys from them. Just sitting on a pile of overpriced junk.

Offer him $10 less every week until he caves.

$300 would be a fair deal for all that stuff, but $515 is just greedy.
At first I thought you were haggling the whole kit, which maybe would be worth around $550, but not without the drone.

Here’s my breakdown:
$120 – RC controller (used)
$90 – Battery 1 (used)
$90 – Battery 2 (used)
$60 – Charger (new)
$20 – DJI bag (used)
$15 – Prop set (twice what he’s offering)
$10 – ND filters (used)
That’s about $405 if you go by used retail. I offered $350 to take it all off his hands and skip the part-out hassle.

You could get a legit camera backpack for $200. Just saying.

That bag’s maybe worth $25 tops. He’s dreaming.

If he’s not being realistic, just leave your offer and walk. Let him come to you later if he smartens up.

Exactly what I did. Told him he had until noon the next day to decide and I’d need a deposit if he agreed. He already said no, so I just ordered the batteries and charger from a reliable seller.

Some people never give up hope… even when the math doesn’t add up.

Don’t let these folks waste your time. Not worth the headache.
