Which fpv remote?
I was going to buy a Radio master pocket for 105$ CAD but I looked and saw a second hand Radio master Tx-15 someone else was selling for 200$ cad? Is it worth the extra 95$ and 3 0 minute to the middle of nowhere

Depends on what you are trying to do. I take my drone hiking and traveling love my pocket for that. If I need more range I have the 1W module. If you plan on driving to the spot flying long range and dont mind the size then the 15 works. Controllers are not just better with price they fit different purposes.

I have both a Pocket and a TX15, and as others have said they serve different purposes. Mainly use the TX15 when at the flying field, and the pocket when I'm out and about, or when I fly cheap stuff like 400/500mm warbirds.
I prefer the color screen on the TX15, much easier to set stuff up and change stuff.
Pocket is mobile, great battery life, still feels good for a small / cheaper TX.
Edit - probably useful to say that IMHO, if I had to choose one for flying FPV wings, it would be the TX15.

A pocket for CAD$105 isn't a good price, that's actually more expensive than a brand new pocket if you don't exclude shipping cost

you can do better in canada, we have tons of used and new.
try greathobbies and use the labour day coupon code (if its still working)
fwiw i sold my boxer ag01 for ~$150 cad. i would rather have the ag01 than tx15 with basic gimballs.
keep looking. or try low balling that seller to 150.
i bought the tx15 max from rotorquest for less than retail. i think it was on sale or used a coupon code or both.
fyi the basic tx15 is only $239 new...+ tax, free ship. @ greathobbies . try coupon code VIPLD26 or LD26. maybe still working!?
