Make sure your drone is brand new

I already had a one year old Hubsan 501SS which I am full and am quite satisfied. I got myself a second one for Christmas 2019 but didn't get to test it for almost a month due to the weather. When I did it flew as expected but the range was about half that of my first. I took some photos and filmed the whole flight. When I came back I took out the video SD card and remembered I didn't have it installed. There were a lot of photos from 2015 on the 2GB card, but none of the photos I took. Apparently it was a used drone. Most likely he was sent back because he stopped taking photos and videos. I don't mind buying used items as long as they are clearly used. Also, the price was the retail price for the current model of the new Hubsan 501SS. I have no idea if this drone had the latest firmware or if it has brushless motors at all as it is clearly an early 2015 model from the photos on the SD cards. I will look elsewhere for my NEW Hubsan 501SS. Or maybe it's time to upgrade to something better.
