Mindista is a scam artist and uses creative photography to pass busted up junk off as "flawless" items then has the nerve to accuse me of busting it up and blaming it on her.

Check out the for sale thread here.

If you zoom in on it you can see scratches on the screen where it's covered with the gyro and a nick is pretty clear.

That's exactly what they are doing. I asked NUMEROUS questions and responses were good. I asked about the condition and asked about the nick and was told there were no nicks that it was something on the wire.

Gave them the benefit of the doubt well I see now they were really blowing smoke up my ass. Shouldn't of gone with my first impression cause they are normally right.

Also if you look at that 450 it's obvious it's been crashed too. Look at the controller above the tail boom mounts. It's missing parts of the plastic.

Red Flag right there. I hope you can get this sorted. So many people just join a forum to offload junk (or steal money), and just run off. Not worth the risk.

Absolutely. Just joined, 13 posts and selling stuff. Not a good sign.

I agree. Plus, the OP mentioned having a bad feeling about the sale early on. Should have been enough red flags at that point to kill the sale. That said, it looks like a resolution has been made in the for sale thread. Hope it works out for the OP.

Just to show I wasn't blowing smoke up the seller's ass we worked a deal out where I was refunded money and kept the CGY750. Here is Futaba's Inspection of the gyro.

Hmm. Beyond repair would seem to be a little less than "flawless"...
