I'm not sure about any good oens for $250 but here are some other options.
3DRobotics has some amazing things to offer. They're videos are pretty incredible to see. When they first dropped this IRIS drone, it blew me away. It's not much more.

DJI is pretty well known. They have 2, but I'd personally take the Iris for the extra money.

Lumoid.com is a camera rental company with a purchase store who uses affirm. Affirm pays the full amount and you pay off affirm. Not reported to credit agencies, but a sweet option if you don't have the full amount to buy. I was surprised to see they offered 2 drone options and not just camera bodies/lenses.
