I'll see what happens but just purchased a brand new P3A for $396 including shipping. I'll keep you posted as to whether or not this is some type of scam. I currently own a P3P but I know this is a fair price for the P3A.

Doesn't surprise me, there is a New P3P listed for $665 on Ebay. It's just a matter of time before you start seeing them around $500. That is going to knock the Standard and Advanced prices in the dirt.

I can't believe that a potential scam could happen on Amazon but it happens. Here is some correspondence between me and this guy that was selling a "used" P3A but when I read the description, it said it was new in box.

   Hello,



   Thanks for your interest! DJI

   Phantom 3 Advanced Quadcopter Drone with 2.7K HD Video

   Camera is Brand New, original box, sealed, never used,
  not

   scratches or any problems, comes in the manufacturer

   packaging with 2 Year full International warranty and

  price

   is $396.00, including all shipping and insurance fees
  to

   United States / Canada. (1-2 business days).



   The price is less than usual,

   because we have special offers in this period. The
  offer

   lasts 7 days.



   Credit Card

   or Paypal option is not available. I cannot use Paypal
  or

   credit cards because of my problems with some buyers
  trying

   to pay from stolen accounts. My funds are frozen and I
  am

   unable to accept any currency. The transaction is
  through

   Amazon; payment method is Paysafecard through Amazon

   Payments.



   Return policy is

   full money back or replace the product, you can return
  it

   for any reason at all within 30 days.



   If you want to buy, please confirm your full

   name and shipping address and I will place an order on

   Amazon for you; and then you receive the order
  confirmation

   from them with all details about the next steps to
  complete

   your purchase.

   We will reserve the item for

   you and soon you receive the order confirmation from

   Amazon.

   

   Many Thanks,

I just looked on Amazon for it and it's not there anymore. Originally, I wanted to see how much the P3A is selling for and when I opened one sellers site, it showed other sellers offering the P3A and I looked under used and that's where I found this guy. He wanted me to pay through Amazon's Market Playsafe card voucher. Don't worry, I just shrugged it off as "too good to be true" but almost fell for it

Here is a bit of the latest correspondence.
"So you expect me to go to some store to buy this safeplay voucher thing and submit the voucher pin number to someone other than Amazon? Are you kidding me?

Amazon does have sellers that sell used stuff but it should be clearly marked as used, even if it's never been actually used but just opened or bought as new somewhere else.  I'd report the guy.

UPDATE. This was a scam through Amazon and I've contacted them directly to put this guy out of business. Amazon has told me that they will make it right to me by selling the Advance for $396 new. More details to follow
