I got excited until I saw these are all 3rd party sellers, so your warranty is void. One of which has 100% feedback but the majority of their recent feedback is deleted 1 star ratings of people complaining they got used products sold as new...
I sold my Neo for around this price. I wish there were deals on Neo 2. The Neo 1 is a little flakey. It has hit stuff while following me, sometimes it gets lost while tracking, the video quality is also quite bad. But it's fun for a toy. Just don't expect to get any quality video from this...and don't be surprised if it flies away or crashes into a tree at some point lol
it doesn't matter who you buy the drone from or where you buy it, all Americans are going to have to get used to flying their DJI drones without full warranty support from DJI. There nowhere in the world to buy one and get a clear warranty from DJI in the US; that's gone. It's not time to start thinking about insurance, credit card warranty, 3rd party plans, and similar. It's not the end of the world since most DJI drones are well made and largely free of manufacturers defects. Your warranty is not void, you just won't be able to easily make a claim with DJI due to the current circumstances.
Can anyone verify that? Any US residents had a warranty claim denied?
I don't think DJI is outright *denying* warranty claims, I think they're basically telling us they are unable to do anything about your specific issues. They seem to be doing their best to try to work around the issues by providing alternatives but they mostly are either apologizing and telling you there are delays or they are suggesting you try to work it out with the merchant. If DJI found out tomorrow they shipped 50,000 Mavics with defective GPS antennas, that's going to be hard to deny. But if you look thru your flight logs and you see the drone didn't RTH like it should have based on the algorithm and it crashed, you might be out of luck.
Lucky for us, there are options. You don't need a manufacturers warranty when there are other good alternatives available. Would be nice but it's not the end of the world. After all, we buy thousands of "used" products with no warranty everyday. It's not fun but it's the new world and it's all we got for now.

Ehh for how cheap it is I can live without warranty haha
Once you get the remote it really unlocks the potential as a fun starter drone. The range is surprisingly good but the battery only lasts around 15 mins. You have to charge the battery while docked on the drone unfortunately. I think the video quality is perfectly good well beyond the low cost.
If you only have one battery, that is certainly the case. When you get the flymore you get a triple bay charger. Not saying it doesn't run out (you really need them topped off before flight if you want the most run time).
You also want the controllers. No controller is ok but not great. With the controllers is wow.
For 139 it's almost worth it just to have another one for the giggles.
However if you have nothing the neo 2 is a worthy contender, though the neo 1 seems more.. robust.

I prefer the DJI Mini 4K if you want a drone with a remote, the range is longer, the battery life is better, and the camera quality is higher. I do wish there was a discount on the DJI Neo 2 however, as the gesture control is pretty cool.
The neo 2 is getting closer to the mini 4k. However the mini 4k is much more stable in wind, and the run time is significantly better
No problems with mine. It shipped and arrived in 3 days, and I had it out and flying after charging the batteries. I really like it.
Included in that kit:
1x Carrying case for all below materials
1x Atom 2 Drone
3x Batteries
1x Tri-port battery charger, and DC Brick
1x Controller (Phone docks into act as screen and control station)
4x full sets of replacement prop blades, and screws (Important to note, they have this detail on the page: Package does not promise that replacement propellers and screws will be included.
Misc cables, manuals, etc. https://www.ebay.com/itm/286790941731
Just make sure to use both coupon codes to get the full discount: POTENSICJUN7 and SUNSHINE20
Hmm, what is the final price with both coupons? I'm seeing the POTENSICJUN7 code isn't valid. So it's around $211+$20 tax + $4 recycling fee = ~$235 total.

You missed the POTENSICJUN7 coupon, because it's July, and that $7 coupon expired at the end of June.
Tax is state by state so I can't tell you what you'll pay. Some states have no sales tax, but clearly yours does. That "recycling fee" is also unique to your state. I didn't have that in Illinois. My price was $205.51, with $21.84 added for tax to bring it to $227.35 out the door. From what I can work out, the sales tax is calculated against the gross price minus the $7 coupon, but without the 20% off coupon figured, so my effective rate paid was more like 10.6% vs my locality's actual rate of 8.5%.
Ebay is weird with how they collect taxes. When I sell something on eBay, my fee s are calculated against the total the buyer paid, including taxes. Because I don't see a penny in those taxes, it's actually in my interest to sell to the "NOMAD" sales tax free states. I've always hated how they push sellers with slowly increasing fees. It makes me wish there was a serious alternative besides Facebook Marketplace.

It is not DJI not willing to service you, it is the gov. NOT allowing the drone or components coming in going forward.

I blame both DJI and the government, 50/50.
So much fun flying around in manual. Safe around people. And good for small area
