In EU I bought a Brand new one from a dealer for €250. They've come down in price, they were €600 a couple of years ago, a lot of drone parts were cheaper in US compared to Europe, we paid twice the price! A lot of people want a bargain or to rip a seller off now a days, but sometimes the seller has to be realistic too, plenty are trying to sell old first release Typhoons on private or eBay for €700 to €900.

I make it $307 when I bought it for £250 + postage high from US.

as of the time I checked this morning the conversion was was being shown as the British Pound equaling 1.23 American Dollars. Oanda currency converter, one commonly used by government employees when balancing their expense accounts, currently shows it at 1.23979. Using the full exchange rate that would put the 289.90 British Pound price at $359.415 American.
That makes my price of $260.00 for a camera with less than 60 minutes of bench time on it pretty reasonable

As my screenshot. I remember when it was 2 dollars to the pound, was a bargain then to buy photographic equipment.
And the end of the day it's what people will pay, times I've listed on eBay what I think is competitive, only to get no bids, and have to drop price further,as of the time I checked this morning the conversion was was being shown as the British Pound equaling 1.23 American Dollars.

It's what we get if buying using PayPal or bank transfer that counts, it will always less than the official exchange rate, the fees are beginning to get a bit steep now. Buying something from US is getting less viable.

Just used this site for quick reference.
Might not be accurate.

I don't think it is that most can't afford it. It is that most don't want to invest 300 dollars into a used camera that only works with one type of drone. I personally own 5 different Yuneec camera gimbal systems and tons of parts. I am always on the look for a good deal. Honestly, one can pick up a new cgo3+ that sells for 250-275 on eBay, You just have to be patient. I just purchased another one from a guy on Facebook Market place for 150. When we entered this hobby, most of us expected to dump tons of money into a quickly depreciating bunch of drones and overrated cameras.
AGREED!! I see these prices on eBay all the time. Most of the time, this is a seller who picked up a pallet of drones that were returned or overstocked from 2-3 years prior. They try to squeeze every cent out of them by comparing the prices on sites like eBay but in reality, one can pick up a 1st gen Q500 for 100 bucks used.

That’s just criminal. Assessing a VAT on goods not made in the UK or EU is outrageous.
