We've likely created a small industry for reselling drones in South Korea

I do but obviously they are changing what these links point to.

You've only been sharing links that point to the main shared Amazon listings. To get a link that goes to a specific seller, you'd need to visit that seller's store and find the item there. That link will always take people to that seller instead of the current buy box, which is what happens with the links you've been sharing.

The only problem with that is that the current PLUS combo for $1159 is not listed on the listed seller's Storefront, and is fulfilled by Amazon, while the Prime overnight STANDARD Combo is an A to Z Guarantee ONLY, shipped and sold by the seller, not shipped by Amazon.

Amazon is deliberately making it impossible to share the good deals, turning shared links of the Buy Box into Bait and Switch, and is confusingly conflating Prime with "shipped by Amazon," when it is, in fact, being shipped by the Marketplace seller, where the only recourse is the lousy A to Z Guarantee.




===========




Here is the ONLY link available to share for the very best deal of $1159 for the PLUS Combo shipped by Amazon so no crappy A to Z Guarantee, but you won't get it until Dec 14-Dec 22.

It only links to the DECEPTIVE "Buy Box" so you must unselect the featured rip off of the $1599 Standard Combo, and Reselect the $1159 PLUS COMBO in the lower left instead!

Don't fall for the complete ripoff Regular Combo being sold "Prime overnight" for $450 more at $1599, covered ONLY by the lousy, worthless A to Z Guarantee! It is NOT the PLUS version, and is not fulfilled by Amazon!

The deals you mentioned above are no longer available right now, but they might come back later. That means they also won't be listed in those stores.

It looks like the sellers offering the best deals don't keep very big inventories.

The $1,159 deal for the Plus version from AirFoto is still there right now. To find it, you need to do what @GadgetGuy said which is to uncheck the Buy Box for the staffers version in the link he provided and select the PLUS version, then go down to where it says “Other sellers on Amazon”, click on it and you’ll see the $1,159 deal. This deal is not listed in the AirFoto store.

Wow, that went quick. I picked up one more to keep as another spare for us.

This is definitely something a person has to keep their eye on with the ongoing changes in inventory, pricing, etc. Hopefully this deal will be back at some point today for anyone else wanting to take advantage of it.

I’ve used the Amazon ‘set price alert’ feature in the past for other items, but I can’t recall how quickly the alerts happen in relation to the price dropping below the target price.

Do you know if the alerts happen pretty much instantly as soon as the current price meets the target price?

And now Air Foto has the RC 2 Plus Combo back in stock here in their store. I'm sure this will be gone soon though.

I think that was my point, for the average Amazon customers, there's no way to nail this down so unless you're really good, you'll probably end up paying more. Much easier to go to eBay or Aliexpress where they don't do it like this. It's still a little confusing to me, why don't I run into the same issues when I buy other products on Amazon?

Because you're buying from sellers with much larger inventories, and the supply probably outweighs the current demand.

one thing, and it may have been mentioned....I saw people mentioning Amazon's return policy. Be cautious with 3rd party sellers like the ones for DJI drones. Those returns go back to the 3rd party seller and they can charge a restocking fee

apparently, one of the sellers of the Mavic 4, NorthFront, has been charging insane restocking fees, including as high as 100%

Does this include “fulfilled by Amazon” sales or just shipped from the 3rd party seller directly

if it's fulfilled by Amazon I'd think that's a good guarantee

if the product description says it's shipped by Amazon, that would mean fulfilled by Amazon
