HOORAY!!! Mavic Pro Now $999.99 at TARGET !

Chirp · Jul 3, 2018

The price is going back up!
This bit of excitement is for all of us (self included) who purchased one at $999.99 when they first came out.
Lately we've been watching the price come down and it's gotten to less that $669.00 or so.

I hope it keeps going up! Then it would be an investment instead of a loss....
I know it's probably only temporary or a misprint or something but...

I have never seen a new Mavic Pro for anything less than a grand. Excluding Amazon and Ebay non-authorized sellers.

Where have you seen one for 669?

I think even with the Father's Day deal a couple weeks ago, the New MP was still a grand. I think the deal was just on the refurbs and fly more combos.

Best Buy had it yesterday for $865. I should have bought it then because I looked today and $891. Kind of pissed, I should have bought yesterday.

If a like new Mavic Pro is an okay option for you, DJI is currently selling refurbished Mavic Pros here on Newegg for $699.

I bought mine refurb from DJI Store for 649 Father's Day week.

I wouldn't hesitate again to buy a refurb one, especially since it was so much cheaper.

I just got Bestbuy to price match Amazon for $819.

Nice deal! Best Buy usually only matches items sold and shipped by Amazon.

Seeing any electorinic purchase as an investment is wrong they go down in value not up. unless it becomes a rare antique in the future

About the only thing you could consider an investment when it comes to drones is the insurance you need for when you crash it!

What a weird, weird sentiment.

Here are my stats from DroneBase. Every penny was earned by my Mavic Pro that I bought less than a year ago.
I have 2 jobs scheduled for Sunday that are paying $225 Each which will bring my average way up.
I bring this up because I think the MP is the baddest little machine to come around in a long time and for some reason I hate to see it get cheapened. Must be me

Honestly, they rejected it at first due to 3rd party seller. Closed the chat. Looked for shipped by Amazon and it was $865. Decided to try that. I sent the link over in the chat and accidentally sent the first link ($819) again and this chat "person" accepted it. Not going to complain. Picking it up in an hour.

Just to clarify...
You can go to Chat on Best Buy website and attempt to purchase something from them at Amazon--or elsewhere--prices using the price match feature?
You can complete the transaction right there on the Chat or at least get some kind of authorization to complete the transaction somewhere else? That would be great!
Thank You!

That's correct. Give them URL to what you are trying to match, then they ask you for Bestbuy SKU. If they are good with it you can either buy it then they will adjust price on your order or have them do it then they send a link in the chat where to put credit card info.

I chose to have them do it so I could see the price before putting in my CC info. When I picked it up I wasn't hassled or pushed to by add-ons or anything. That was the best part because their checkout process is the reason I've been boycotting their stores for years.
