Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I have not been to a boot sale for over a year, but as I was on my way to work this morning Something was telling me to go in. In I went and had a quick look around, nothing but clothes and toys as per. I was about to leave and decided to have another walk around when a woman was putting this out. I asked her how much, and she told me that the screen at the back was broken, Knowing what they are worth I thought even getting that repaired it still may be a cheap DSLR if I could get it repaired. The problem was I did not know how much the screen will cost to repair, so I would have to cautious on what I paid for it. So after looking through the box and a few items were missing, That I went to great pains to point out., Driver view disc no lens cover, I asked her how much, "would a tenner be all-right" she replied? I nearly bit her hand off, but the old boot sale buyer in me came to the surface, so I asked her would she take a fiver? I also pointed out that the charger had no lead and I did not know if the camera actually worked. I nearly fell through the floor when she said yes. :toast: I still don't know if it is working yet, battery is on charge as I type this. One very happy.

jeppi26 1,855 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Is it the actual screen that's broke or the plastic screen cover? If it's only the plastic cover about £4 tops and the main lcd screen your looking around the £30 mark 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it's only the plastic cover about £4 tops and the main lcd screen your looking around the £30 mark Not really sure but it's not working, but I just found this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Screen-Display-for-Canon-EOS-600D-/291449571645?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43dbbf893d So that does not seem too bad at all.
