id say yes, but ive had to make 5 returns in the last 2 months on fpv gear on amazon because people bought stuff, swapped it out for old/used components, and sent it back. it sucks because amazon forces the companies to put their best prices on amazon. but youre really gambling as to what youre going to get. also, betafpv is unloading their old/bad stuff like their new aio's with the unsupported bmi270 gyro and vr02 goggles/old Cetus on amazon. I got 2 of those aios in a row and neither work, even with betafpv's custom firmware from their website, I have 2 of the same aio with the original gyro and they work great.

its extra frustrating because one of the aio I have right now that doesnt work was already a return/replacement because someone swapped out the original one for an old air aio, so im going to have to do a second return and then just order from pyrodrone. amazon is even reselling batteries that have been opened.

I am in the process of getting a new FC from BetaFPV for a Meteor 75 pro 2 because the first one smoked when I plugged in the battery for the first time. It took me like 10 emails back and forth for them to agree to a replacement and I'm still waiting for it.
So I get it. But at least returns and replacements from Amazon are easy and fast - even if they shouldn't be necessary in the first place.
Either way, I think my OP is still a good idea.

sure, but production defects are different from what im talking about. the problem here is that there are a lot of beginners and even some experienced pilots that cant tell the difference between versions of specific aios being swapped out or might not realize something has been used in the first place or that theyre buying obsolete and overpriced gear. I knew exactly what I was ordering and still had to double check that I wasn't mistaken because of how jumbled the naming conventions get and thought I might have missed a new release.
being easy and fast doesnt necessarily make it good and it could be argued that if youre returning stuff all the time, its less easy and fast than ordering from somewhere else. there's an old saying that you can only get 2/3 between fast, easy, and good. I still order some stuff from them for now, but wouldn't recommend it to others unless they know exactly what they should be getting and are willing to roll the dice.
Also, this is an international website with users from all over the world, amazon only has storefronts in like 20 countries. im not sure the team here wants to do advertising, it seems like Stew is really dedicated to making this place impartial. normally a retailer would pay for the kind of placement youre talking about.
I know you probably just want people to get cheap gear, that was my original thoughts as well, but unfortunately there's more to it these days.
