lisamariewillbe 1 #58 February 28, 2006 *cough* you have a great set.... draw your boobies and make a story of how the camera broke because you were getting your picture taken and you flashed the camera...the guy taking the picture in awe threw the camera up in the air ... now said guy is stalking you until he gets a chance to use the camera again to try to get that picture of your boobies... so you must sell the camera on ebay to get rid of your stalker.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #59 February 28, 2006 QuoteSome Dumbass paid $108 for this!!!!Not always a dumbass. A few years ago, I purchased two broken iPaq handheld computers (with different broken parts - one had a cracked screen, the other had a bad motherboard) for $100 each off eBay ($200 total) I disassembled, swapped good parts, reassembled, and I had a working color handheld computer that was worth $400. Needless to say, I resold the carcass of leftoverr parts for $100. I kept the working handheld computer. Total gain: $300 worth of value. eBay is a self-repairman's dream, so selling broken cameras and broken laptops will gain you quite a bit of return of money as long as you are honest and accurate in describing what works and what does not work, with plenty of photographs. I also sold a broken laptop motherboard for about $200 too. (I replaced it with a good DELL motherboard for $400). Some repairman company bought the motherboard from me -- apparently they knew what they were doing. Dell's website had laptop disassembly instructions somewhere deep in their website, and I downloaded them. Anybody that has built a few computers, can learn how to disassemble/reassemble a modular electronics gadget such as a laptop, camera, or handheld computer. In fact, the broken camera that you sold, has a fully functioning camera motherboard and a fully functioning color LCD screen -- worth about $200 disassembled and can be recycled to repair/refurbish maybe 3 or 4 other broken cameras of the same brand. Just like a disassembled car is often worth more than a fully assembled car; you can sell each part individually for repairing other cars. It's more effort, but people speciallize in this sort of thing too. Also, your 'dumbass' left you some greatly positive feedback: "Awesome Seller!!! Great Packaging and Speedy Delivery!!! Thanks!!!" Clearly, he was satisfied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #60 February 28, 2006 QuoteLMAO I still cant believe that.... a fucking broke camera Don't laugh just yet. The broken camera is worth $200 disassembled. Three broken cameras can be turned into two good cameras: One with a broken lens, one with a broken screen, and one with a rusted motherboard. That still means two good lens, two good screens, two good motherboards. Just disassemble, swap the parts around, reassemble. Presto, two working cameras! I do this kind of stuff, trust me on this one. The broken camera is worth $200 disassembled in the right hands. These days, for most people, it is cheaper to buy replacements than to repair stuff. Not many repair stores repairs cameras, but eBay over the last few years, is opening a whole new market of home-based repair (for me it's only an occasional hobby). Thousands of people make it a hobby or a living to save a few dollars by repairing broken stuff. eBay has made it much easier to buy replacement parts for cheaper than directly from the factory. Today, because of this, it is not unusual to get about 15-40% of used market value by selling the broken gadget of a popular model (camcorder, laptop, camera, handheld computer, cellphone).
