Help with one kind of drone

sevenb · Mar 10, 2018

Hi,

Could you help me to figure out the price for this drone just seeing the pictures? I got from a friend of mine and I want to sell it but I don't know how much.

Thank you

my guess would be to check ebay to see what they are going for. Things are only worth what you can get. looks like a nice setup.

That's a DJI F550 Flamewheel
Plenty of them on ebay.
Here's a link to one:

So cheap I think. He told me spent $1600 for that. Maybe are there some expensive piece on that?
DJI 2212/920KV

the motors are only $33 each on ebay, maybe its the controller

My guess:

Flamewheel $250 - $300
Futaba t8fg $150
Battery $25

Total $425 - $500 if you can sell it locally. On eBay, deduct 13% for eBay and PP fees.

Ok. It will very hard try to figure out some price for that. I have to see all the pieces and get the prices. But do you think that can I get at least $800 for this drone? Since he said spent $1600.

Maybe 4 years ago.

I'd say at least $150-200 for the remote, $350 for the copter itself, and around $75 for the battery/charger. I'm not sure what the camera mount is so I can't say as far as that goes. In total, you could probably sell it for around $550 or $600.

Agree if he can sell it locally and part it out. If sold as a package on eBay, less 13% = $525. Plus he has to ship it. PITA.

Lol, no, but really thanks for that.

My motto when selling things I know nothing about is "Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst." I try not to get into that position too often.

There are lights and one display on the remote control. Attached

Yeah shipping would be pretty expensive I imagine. To the OP, you may want to try Craigslist before Ebay.

Do yourself a very big favor. Box it all up, and/or take it to a UPS store for a shipping estimate to different parts of the country (if you are in the USA). I have gotten burned a few times quoting shipping and then having shipping costs be more than I estimated. You are dealing with the world when you post here, and should be thinking about what type of payment you would expect, will you offer a refund for any reason, and take as many pictures as you can.
