No DJI drones anywhere???

A friend expressed interest in getting a drone. Mini 3...Neo...Flip type budget. Wants a RC screen controller. Nothing at DJI...nothing at BH...or Adorama... There is a model here or there...but at this point there is -almost- nothing. I knew the Mav 4 was impossible to get (almost) but I had no idea that was true for almost the entire line if DJI drones.

Exactly why I bought the Avata 2 and the NEO ahead of time before I really needed them. Saw them on sale at a good discount so I bought them but still haven't activated. I thought there would come a day when DJI drones were scarce in America and existing supplies would be difficult to replace. I bought the Mini 4 Pro and kept if for year only to find an opportunity to give it away (to my brother) but as mentioned, if I were to decide to do that today....probably would be out of luck.

Not sure why anyone feels the Mini 5 Pro or the Mini 5 Max will show up in America. If that model launches sans America, it will be a wake up call. There's no way for Adorama to do all the heavy lifting.

Not saying I knew this exactly was coming, but I knew something bad was coming. Anytime the government is involved, bad things happen and it's unpredictable.

As long as adorama does some light lifting for those in the know, I'm happy! LOL!

Best Buy's response, "Really? DJI still makes drones?" LOL!

Only "Geek Squad Certified Refurbished" DJI drones available.

Makes you wonder if DJI is pulling out of the U.S market until the political policy smoke clears.

Anyone want the drones in my fleet? I’ll only charge three times what I paid for them…lol. <jk>

I started a thread in this forum a couple of days ago about my perception that used DJI drones of Mavic 2 Pro vintage and newer are gradually appreciating in price on eBay, and are certainly not depreciating as they generally did over the past few years before the current climate of political uncertainty ensued.

I anticipate that there will be a spate of panic buying of DJI drones of all ages, if a thigs escalate to the point where ALL imports from China are slapped with crippling import duties, or if DJI drones are even banned outright due to security concerns. I am toying with the idea of buying four or more Mavic 1 Pros to hoard while they can still be found priced at a piddling $250 for the drone alone, simply because I would get a warm fuzzy feeling from doing so haha.
