Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I get for my drone? ⌄

A DJI Mavic 3 Pro in good condition can fetch $900–$1,600, a DJI Air 3 goes for $600–$1,000, a DJI Mini 4 Pro fetches $450–$750, and a DJI Mini 3 Pro sells for $350–$550. Combos with extra batteries and the RC controller sell for more. Connect with a local buyer for a real quote.

Do I need to include the remote controller? ⌄

Yes — most buyers require the controller to be included. Drones without controllers sell for significantly less. Include all batteries you have, as they add to the sale price.

Do buyers purchase drones with damaged parts or missing propellers? ⌄

Some local buyers will purchase drones needing minor repairs (propeller guards, gimbal issues, cosmetic damage). Major crash damage or a failed gimbal will significantly reduce the offer.

Do I need to remove FAA registration before selling? ⌄

You’re not legally required to remove your FAA registration before selling, but it’s courteous to inform the buyer. The new owner will need to register the drone in their name. You can remove your label and let the buyer register it fresh.

How is Trade Into Cash different from selling on eBay? ⌄

Shipping drones with LiPo batteries is complicated and restricted by many carriers. Local buyers purchase in person, eliminating shipping entirely. No eBay fees, no listing management, no risk of damage in transit.
