I noticed that in my area someone is selling a Spark with 2 extra batteries, charging hub, remote, extra props, and the carrying case for 250. Is this a good deal? I most likely won't buy it but I am wondering if I should if it is a really good deal. I already own a P3 Standard so are there any major differences besides portablity?

I would say that's a really great deal...if it hasn't been crashed...which is hard to tell.  See if the party will demonstrate it's flyability.  Ask why they are getting rid of it.  Try to get all of the history on it you can.

The description says only flown 6 times. The photos show no damage on the drone. He says it was always left in the case when not in use. I will update soon once I find out more.

Well there have been connectivity issues for some new owners.  There have been compass issues for others.  I would want to see it turned on and taken off for a very short flight.  You can also go to battery menu and actually see how many times the battery has been charged.  This is a good indicator of the minimum number of flights on the drone.

Also see if the owner was signed on to this forum...you might be able to see if he posted any issues he was having.

Yes if I am going to test it I would look for that stuff and I'm guessing the app layout is similar to the P3 standard's. The battery settings would be a good indicator thank you for reminding me.

It's still a great deal...if it works.

Sweet deal.  I would jump on it if it flies.

Make sure you check the footage from the Spark on your laptop.
