How Condition Grading Works

Every drone on this page carries one of three grades — no vague "like new" claims:

GradeFlight historyCosmeticsWarranty
Like NewUnder 50 flightsIndistinguishable from new12 months
ExcellentUnder 150 flightsMinor marks, no damage history6 months
Good150+ flightsVisible wear, fully functional90 days

Full definitions and photo examples live on our condition grades page. Each unit also passes the same 27-point inspection regardless of grade.

What Every Listing Includes

Used, Refurbished or Certified Pre-Owned?

Used units are inspected and graded as-is — the best value. Refurbished units are rebuilt with new wear parts (props, gimbal dampers, shells) and re-flashed firmware. Certified Pre-Owned adds our longest warranty and a no-questions 30-day return. All three share the same inspection backbone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to buy used drones?

Specialist certified dealers beat marketplaces on the two things that matter: verified condition and recourse. Unlike eBay or Facebook Marketplace, every AST-Drones unit is inspected, graded, unbound from the previous owner's account, and covered by a written warranty and 30-day returns.

How much cheaper are used drones?

Expect 20–40% off equivalent new retail, depending on model age and condition grade. Enterprise platforms like the Matrice 350 RTK routinely save buyers $4,000–6,000.

What should I check when buying a used drone?

Flight hours, battery cycle count, gimbal smoothness, crash history, firmware status and — critically — whether the drone is unbound from the previous owner's DJI account. We publish all of it per unit; our inspection checklist is public.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, with lithium-battery-compliant packaging and duty-paid (DDP) options for the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia and UAE.
