I crashed my drone a few weeks ago. I was planning to sell it as I'm moving, and now that it is crashed, I will likely sell as is at a big discount as I don't have the time to fix it.

It is a Phantom 3 Pro 4K, comes with a backpack carrying case, the aluminum carrying case, car charger, and the rest of the standard lot (controller, 1 battery, charger, propellers). 1 battery got lost during the accident so it comes with just 1 battery, not 2. 1 propeller is broken from the crash.

Attached are the pictures of the damage. The grey mount on the bottom is broken off and the gimble is broken, but the camera is in fine shape with no scratches. The drone casing is mostly fine aside from the small part in the image that needs to be put back in.

What is a fair price to sell the whole lot at? I'm based in Bangkok, Thailand. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

Evaluate if selling in parts is a better option.

Aircraft looks in decent shape still, do the motors fire, or any errors? Odds are good the phantom is okay, just needs that arm clip pushed back under. I bet you could remove the screws for that arm, bend up, push that clip under and have it be almost good as new. You can also push the antenna back into the leg, looks like it popped out. For the camera, a new gimbal ribbon is only $35 usd from DJI, and the yaw arm is like $10-20 (you can get a package deal for the two on amazon/ebay). The big question is whether you are comfortable enough doing this repair on your own, thats the big $$ is labor and skill.

IMO, the aircraft is worth $150-200, the camera (as is) is worth $100-150, the RC is worth $75-100 and batteries probably worth $75 depending on charges. Not sure about the case, If i were looking to buy this on ebay (without cases) i would wanna pick it up for less than $300 knowing i would need to fix parts of it. If it has ESC errors, those prices go down alot on the AC.
