why buy a new one when you can repair it?

okay so i have a minolta 5000 maxxum slr camera. Something was wrong with the mirror so i tried to fix it. I didn't succeed and I end up cracking the mirror. the mirror is now cracked in the middle. i was trying to find repairs online but they are like almost $250, which is not bad but i was wondering i should buy a new one or repair it. will the repairs be cheaper than $250? where will i get a good bargain? need help asap! also, i was refered to a couple good repair shops here in san francisco but more referals would be awesome. thanks.

A general rule of thumb for consumer products is that if the repair will cost more than 50% of the value of the item, you should discard it and get a new one.

Note that this applies to "consumer products" and the "value of the [actual] item" if it were in proper working order. If the value of a replacement item is exorbitantly high, this rule may not apply; and of course it doesn't apply for items of collectible or sentimental value.

get a new one and sell that minolta on some repairman for use as spare parts.
repairman will get some useful parts of that minolta and sell to clients..
