Price gouging on Amazon.com

[Poverty Flyer]

I got my Neo last week ordered on Amazon from a seller.
Next day I got a email from Dji saying it would be shipped soon.
It took 4 days from Hong Kong to Seattle area. I call that FAST.

So, now I want to get into FPV and need the N3 goggles and Motion 3 controller.
Suggested retail price of goggles is $229.
Some sellers are adding the words (original N3 goggles) and charging
Anywhere from $229 up to $499 All with different arrival times.
More $ doesn't mean faster.
WTH! AMAZON.
Tariffs were not even in effect yet.

Dji store is $229 around 5 day delivery time.
BUT, they have disclaimer saying the buyer may have to help with customs. No definition of help.
Pay tariff?
Pay part?
Pick up at customs?
Row my boat and meet halfway?

I can wait of course but Amazon needs to stop unscrupulous sellers and Dji needs to define help.

I'm having fun with it now but FPV is in my immediate future hopefully.
Time will tell what immediate future means.

Cheers,

I have both the goggles N3 and the goggles 3 with adjustable lenses. I paid 229 for the N3 and 499 for the goggles 3. From my point of view I like the goggles 3 much better. It's nice to dial in the sharpness of the view on the g3 and they're smaller. The N3 would be nice if you wear glasses as they are larger but I don't wear glasses and like the G3 better. I purchased 2 neos and 2 M3C for head to head flying with two people which as of yet I haven't done.

Very nice. I wear glasses.
I have the Meta Quest 3 goggles.
It has all the adjustments but it doesn't help. I still have to wear my glasses and it's a bit uncomfortable as they are also small.
Hopefully the N3 will work out better for me and cheaper to boot.

There's the option with the goggles 3 to add a set of prescription lenses. I'm not sure how that works with getting from you eye doctor I don't know.

Yeah,
We could turn the $500 goggles into $1000 goggles without even trying hard.
Same for the Quest 3 goggles.
All Hobbies are expensive.
I play electronic drums, guitar and own a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Nothing new about spending $ on stuff to keep me busy.
