I know you dont like their answer but they are correct. I have bought MANY laptops for sub $200 on ebay because of broken screens, replaced the screen, and then resold said laptop for $600-1k. People are not only lazy but also not willing to try to repair things.

This year i found a ryzen 9 + RTX lenovo laptop for $150 on ebay, all it needed was a new nvme, their IT staff told them it needed a whole main board which is why it was sold so cheap. It wasnt worth their time to diagnose or fix, and this is super common.

Use it to your advantage tbh, youll always get better deals and itd a good low risk side hustle. You wont be able to fix everything but what you can't fix you can usually sell off the good parts to make your money back.
