I'll get the popcorn....
I flew off the roof patio of the Continental Bank building in Chicago (it is now the Wintrust Bank building). At first the flight was going well, but at the end there must just be too much RF and the Phantom just went off on its own. It crashed while out of my LOS, so I had to use the monitor to go find it. First I went to the W Hotel because that was where it appeared to be on my monitor. They were very nice to me and sent up a guy right away to look. He came back down and said, " It's not on our roof, but I saw it next door". I thanked him and went next door to the US Bank building. Told the concierge and they sent a guy up to the roof right away. In 5 minutes he came down with my Phantom. I offered him a twenty and he refused to take it. I thanked him profusely.
Well, needless to say, after that crash it was not going to fly again. Sold it on Ebay for $500. So a summers worth of flying and fantastic videos cost me $500 and now I'm ready for next springs Phantom 4. Well worth it. Enjoy the video and take a look at my other videos (click on the Youtube icon).

No it was, "Phantom 3 crashed, will not fly", with plenty of pictures.Just curious. Did you mentioned on your ebay post that this drone was previously crashed or you advertised it as "used but in like new condition"???
