    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

I want to move this out to make room for other stuff. I've only got so much room I can allocate for my toys, and since I am not a collector of drones, once I bought the Parrot Anafi, time to move this one along. Honestly, though, I believe the camera in the Mi is better than what is in the Anafi, but that is just my opinion. The Mi as actually a pretty good drone, all things considered, but if I'm not flying it, why keep it?

Hasn't been flown much. Last time I took it out was back in August. Heck, never even flew it off of my own property. So after a few flights, not much new to see, I guess, after the novelty of a new toy wears off.

This is one of the videos I took using this drone -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53qV-ZoeYmA



Never gave me a bit of problem during any of the flights I made, except that when there was an Android update, the USB cable connection ceased working and I had to start using the wifi dongle instead. That works fine, so this turned out to be a non-issue.

Never crashed or exposed to anything damaging like rain or dusty environments. Still has original propellers on it.

Comes with the following components, spare parts, and accessories:

  • 1 - Xiaomi Mi 4K drone
  • 1 - Controller
  • 5 - Batteries
  • 4 - Sets of extra propellers
  • 4 - Motor covers
  • 1 - Carrying case
  • 2 - Camera covers
  • 1 - Model DO:YXC06 battery charger
  • 1 - Cover for controller
  • 1 - Shade for controller
  • 2 - Antenna boosters for controller
  • 1 - Standard battery charger
  • 1 - Factory manual
  • 1 - WIFI dongle
  • Miscellaneous cables

I charged up all 5 batteries to make sure they will charge up to full charge. I have them numbered and would rotate through them when used.

Will not ship outside of the USA.

Pics attached below. If you need any other info or other pics, please let me know.
