Ruined Digital Camcorder- 4Sale

AWM · 05-29-2001, 09:19 AM

If you have followed the somewhat epic post in "Suckage" you might be familular with my name and situation. If not what I'm pawning off here is basically a ruined Digital Camcorder that was sumbmerged in fresh water for a period of about 30 seconds. Enough to ruin it though, so it will not even turn on.

But I thought somewhere out there, someone may want to try to fix it, maybe take it apart and clean it and do something....

It will do me no good, I have replaced the cam, and can't find a soul in the NE Ohio area to that even attempts to fix these. So it's 4 sale.

What I really intended with this post was to find out what it may actually be worth. Granted there are tons of accessories, and hopefully I can attach this pic with it to demonstrate all of them. I had no luck finding anyone that needed just them and not the camera. What would be a fair price for just the accessories, and the cam with the accessories? Help me out here please!

The camera is a JVC GR-DVM80U. 680K pixel, 520 line resolution, ect ect. IF you care about the specs let me know-=

Peace-

quite honestly I don't think you'll even get an offer for it. Sorry to burst your bubble. I'd be interested in trying to fix it and if you'll take $50 for it, I'd be interested. That's as high as I'll go. I may be able to salvage the motor or screen for another camcorder. This one is dead.

Does the camcorder have ANY damage visually? Scratches included.

I assure you, it's no bubble bursting here = )

I did a search on eBay and actually found a guy who bought just a camera and no battery, accessories of any kind. yee haa! Lucky for both of us. He is giving me 230. bucks for all my accessories and an extra 2 lenses.

Now it leaves just the camera itself. = ) And it doesn't have any visable scratches or marks of any kind. I may consider 50.00, I'll let you know. I definetly didn't think it'd be worth alot more than that, it's the accessories I thought would be of value to someone.
