P3S for £35 on eBay surely not.

Dang, I had to order one to! I swore to my wife when I bought the P3P that that's all the money I will spend but I have probably spent just as much and all the extras (case, lanyard, prop balancing tool, carbon fiber parts, extra batteries, skins, iPad mini, and The list goes on and on and on, LOL) and now you guys even got me by a little mini drones!

Just tell the wife this is your 'practice' drone.......you know, to hone your drone piloting skills.........up, down,...left, right...

Better to practice with a mini drone than to make a mistake with the Phantom. C'mon dude, improvise. We're all just big kids anyway!

Yep I bought one, not heard a thing, there was only 3 available when I ordered, I was 90% sure it was a scam but the listing did look good.

I use Ebay daily. I checked that ad out and the 35 pounds was simply where the bid was at when you looked. The item ended up sold for $225..
Also, a scam on Ebay is a rare creature. they have pretty much perfected that system.

That was a "buy it now". Several members on here "bought one" at that price.

Have any of those guys received the units and responded as to how it went. I didn't see such in the comments yet.
I would like to see how this ends up. Sure would put me to widening my search parameters.

No... No one is getting anything. When it first appeared in the morning it was a "quick, jump on it knowing eBay has a guarantee", but as it unfolded throughout the day it became pretty clear it was a scam. You didn't miss out on anything...

P.T. Barnum of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus fame, made a very famous quote back in the early 20th Century. " A Sucker if Born Every Minute ". He was referring to the people who got conned out of their money at Side Shows and such. The days of the traveling side shows is pretty much over with but I really enjoyed going to them and seeing all the stuff they had up for show, the Bearded Lady, the Strongman, the Hootchie Kootchie Girls that showed their wares right up in your face. Now it is just days gone by. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.
