Anyone know of companies or individuals who buy broken camera's for parts only? I have a Canon 20D that the shutter release is stuck on. The price to fix it is way above what I can replace it for. Thought someone might want it for working parts.
Thanks!

If you send it to Canon for "repair" you can get a decent deal on a newer refurbished model.

You could try the "sticky shutter button" fix.

I would recommend look at Canon Loyalty Program, they give you massive discounts towards new camera.
