Hey gang,
Well, I've gone and done it. I'm a complete noob and I've been looking at the Spark for a few weeks. I saw an Amazon Prime Day offer last night for the Fly More Combo and I jumped. It was one of those "final price in cart deals" and when I saw the final price, $245, I couldn't click the order button fast enough. I can't help but think it was some pricing error and that the price somehow won't be honored, but as of this moment, I'm in line for delivery sometime in August.

Now I guess I need to backtrack and learn more about this new hobby I jumped into with basically no knowledge. I just wanted to jump on and say howdy!

Hmm...that's quite some discount

That is a bargain !! Could you send us a screen shot of the advert ? I would love to see it, the only prime deals I found is the Osmo http://amzn.to/2t9CnaF and Mavic http://amzn.to/2tDaCuM. I guess they are adding more deals all the time randomly though

Hey Bradders,
I'm pretty sure the deal expired last night. At least I can't find the same deal searching this morning. I didn't take a screenshot of it, but maybe I should have. I did take a screenshot of the receipt in case something comes up with it later.

wow, $454 off of normal $699 price.

i cant believe thats not a mistake or something. maybe its the flyless pack even than its almost 50% for a product thats not 2 month old.and for the flymore combo it would be 65% discount.

i wish you good luck that you get yours for that price and i will be jealous.

if amazon in germany had such an offer i would have bought a second one, but they dont even have it in stock yet.
i got mine from DJI directl. Paid 799€ (910$) for my FMC...

WOW!!! Saw this Prime advert on TV this morning.......Thought about joining but can't justify the cost against usage. Have fun learning about your new hobby.

It's pretty suspicious to me still today. There are three Prime Savings discounts stacked, one for $175 and two for $140. I would have been happy with just one of those. I'm holding my breath to see what the charge ends up being and whether or not I'll have to fight it.

You must have some special prime deals, i don't see anything but normal pricing on the spark.

There were several DJI drones on Prime Day special last night.  I'm also hoping that it was not a mistake, but since there were many of their drones at 75 percent off, I think it was legitimate.  The DJI Phantom 4 Advanced was priced at around $500.  You would never see the final price until getting to the checkout area, unless you thoroughly saw/analyzed the discounts.

Yeah, that's what happened with me -- the price didn't show until the very end. If my math was right, the package was 65% off. Fingers crossed!

Thats amazing, keep us updated if it was legit, is it Prime next day delivery ?

This seems like a good deal, for £280, the Yuneec Breeze, I have heard some good things about this quad, any one had experience with it. http://amzn.to/2t07qut

It's backordered until August. Well, technically the anticipated delivery date range is Aug. 4 - Sept. 1.

Oh for me in the UK its for next day delivery

I bought some typhoon h pro work Intel realsense for $550

Wished I had bought DJI products instead

Well here's the update ... My Spark was delivered this morning and is sitting on my desk, taunting me. I've got the batteries charging and I'm doing all I can not to bolt from work to get it set up and in the air.

The total charged, after tax, was $261.78. I don't know how I could possibly be any happier with this deal. Hopefully my foray into drones will bring even more joy.

Cheers!

It will still show your discounted price under "orders" in your amazon accnt.


I would have to see this with my own eyes before I believe it...sorry to say

Congratulations on that score!  You should go out and buy a lottery ticket.

Safe Flying and have fun.

There was a Prime Day bug that was patched a few hours after launch where some discounts were applied twice.

A friend of mine got a $1000 discount off the sale price on a ping pong table. They honored it anyway.

What a great deal for you. Have fun flying it!

Lucky you! Wish I saw that!
