DJI phantom 3 advanced (new) £289 Amazon.co.uk

McMurphy

Just got an email from camel camel camel.

Third party seller based in the UK, with excellent feedback. (99% positive, over 600 in the last 12 months)

On mobile, but someone on a desktop might be better equipped at researching the finer points.

Looks like a fairly decent bargain tbh.

I'm wondering if its a pricing error?

Don't need one as I own a mavic pro, but could be worth a punt......

I found one for £206 after looking at this one... I can't see any reason not to go for it but I'm skeptical because of the price!

It's gone as far as I can tell.

Suspect it's a hijacked account

My order went through for the advanced model,

The other link is for the standard model.

They are a couple of years old, so I think it's not totally unheard of for such discounts to get rid of old inventory.

I would have loved a mavic pro. But I couldn't justify 650 - 900 for a toy

They where but organising a return is more difficult

Yeah I was going to say that, but I recall having to send something back before and Amazon told me to freepost it to an Irish Warehouse. They gave me the address.
It was only a few Euro anyway.

For future reference, Parcel Wizard have also said that they would collect returns to Amazon at local drop off point, as they only have to drop them in a post office.

Parcel Motel also have a returns http://www.parcelmotel.com/return/

I'd be pretty certain that if it's that seller with the 99% positive profile, then it's a hacked account. Usual story:decent discount from best current discount, usually better than the lowest to date. Also not the usual products sold etc. for the seller.
Check what this seller was marketing before. Now they're selling a mass range of consumer electronics?

Hey just wondering if yours dispatched yet?

I.bought one too, expected Thurs, but have nothing from the seller as of yet.

I asked the seller yesterday if they had suddenly started selling consumer electronics l, no response. You'll get the cancellation soon enough. They have been selling supplements etc, and now suddenly selling camera lenses to niche headphones....

I'll try and remember to update the thread if I receive the drone or if I don't receive it.

Not hugely worried. If it doesn't arrive I'll get a refund.

I spoke with amazon by phone on Saturday afternoon, they said they'd contact the seller on my behalf and enquire if they actually had these items for sale.

Haven't heard anything back from either side, and my drone still hasn't dispatched yet, so I'm a bit sceptical.

This poster was spot on.

Called the sellers tell no, greeted by an answer machine informing folk their account was hacked.

Mods please amend thread.
