are we talking about selling a drone or are we talking about selling a pre-packaged group of products that are already being sold?
since when does the public have any say whatever in how this drone is put together and sold? does the manufacturer have an obligation to consult with the public before they decide the best way to sell their products? customers have a right to be unhappy with the $5k price tag, I agree. anything beyond that, the decision has to be a personal one. dji got it right many times, this time they got it wrong. there are many times when products have been sold in america that people elsewhere in the world couldn't get. you can't make 8 billion people happy.
i can see if you cannot get the rc pro unless you buy it within a package, understood if you are frustrated if that were the case. even then, we would have the secondary market and all it takes is whatever it takes to get anything else you want (bad enough) in this world....money. am i upset that i have to pay a little bit more for the rcpro in american than our friends up north....not at all. would love it if dji would ask me first but they already know my answer....free (cheap). something tells me dji absolutely couldn't pull the trigger on this deal, the numbers just didn't work out and they were forced to shift gears. there's no such thing as promises. am i disappointed, sure but 2020, 2021, and now 2022 have been disappointing for a lot of reasons. everything you want is available now and for sale to you only not at the price you like. ordinarily i would say the free market speaks but i understand these are difficult and extraordinary times and we are all doing whatever we can to get by. the market moves slow and it's probably as fair as it will get and thank goodness for at least alternatives and options. |
