When is a broken Canon EOS not worth buying?

Walk away from liquid or water damage, account or activation locks, any mention of a board-level fault, and extensive physical damage. Also be careful with a vague "won't power on" at a high asking price, since that can be a cheap power fault or a dead board. Shutter units and LCD screens are the usual parts. A shutter replacement runs roughly $50 to $150 depending on the model.

As-is prices are what sellers are asking for broken and for-parts units. Working value is the median price of active working-condition listings for the same model. Neither is a sold price, and the spread is not profit until you have paid for the part, the fees, and your time.

What usually goes wrong and what the fix costs

Parts cost for each common fault, and what the median spread leaves after it. "Worth it" means $100 or more left, or at least $40 that also pays back most of the buy-in. "Thin" is $30 or more. "Skip" is under $30.

Fault	Parts	Left after fix	Call
Battery	$15 to $40	+$102	Worth it
Shutter mechanism	$100 to $250	-$45	Skip
LCD screen	$50 to $120	+$45	Thin
Lens mount / contacts	$40 to $90	+$65	Thin
Error code (shutter / lens contacts)	$40 to $150	+$35	Thin
Battery door / cover	$10 to $25	+$112	Worth it
Won't power on (board)	$80 to $200	-$10	Skip

Shutter units and LCD screens are the usual parts. A shutter replacement runs roughly $50 to $150 depending on the model.

What sellers are saying is wrong with them

When a broken Canon EOS is not worth it

Any mention of water, liquid, or corrosion. The fault you can see is rarely the only one.
Account, activation, or firmware locks. That is not a repair, and the unit may never be usable.
Board-level or motherboard faults. Parts are expensive and the fix is not a beginner job.
Extensive physical damage, bent frames, or cracked housings on top of the stated fault.
A vague "won't power on" at close to the working price. It might be a cheap fix. It might be the board. The price has to cover the second case.

Shutter failure or error code, a documented shutter-unit replacement.

Damaged LCD screen, a serviceable part.

Card reader or slot fault, a common board-level repair.

Won't power on, a possible board fault, so bid low without detail.
