I understand that after reading this many will say buyer beware or i was stupid, believe me i certainly feel that way, i am posting this so others may learn from my mistake and be on the look out.
My son has been really into quads for about a year and has owned a few inexpensive (cheap) quads, his dream quad has been the dji phantom 3 advanced/pro so i made up my mind to make it happen for his birthday, Brian has Leukemia and cant do the physical things other kids his age are doing so this would be perfect, its expensive but i sold some personal items and came up with the money to purchase used of refurbished i searched online, ebay and other sites.
Aftet a couple weeks BINGO! I found what seemed to be perfect buy on Craigslist, like new Phantom 3 Adv for $500.00 i called the guy and arranged to meet, he suggested public spot walmart parking lot, i met him there the quad looked perfect, had box, Q-start manual charger battery it all looked perfect, he was in a hurry and commented it was to crowded to test there, so i stupidly handed over the money and took the quad and was so excited.
I told the guy why and who i was buying it for on the phone and explained my son was sick and he told me a story of a loved one with leukemia also, got the quad home, battery dead would not charge, felt a rattle inside quad, opened shell and discovered large m metal washers taped together and placed inside, motor wires were cut no electronics at al, same thing inside RC, i believe battery is just for display.
Strange thing was a bag inside contained many screws in separate packets. Must have been left inside by mistake, if anyone would be interested in screws or ? Send me a message i will send to you. |
