Maybe if it were a 20D or something worth fixing (if it is a bad shutter for example) or a newer camera that you could try to sell on ebay and make a profit. Sony A6000, 16-50PZ, 55-210, 35mm 1.8 OSS

joeseph "smells like turd"  More info | Mar 14, 2010 22:38 | #6 If you were into DIY, then spending $60 to learn how to strip & reassemble an XY might be worth doing. It also might be worth the $60 if you needed some parts for another XT, unless of course the broken one was broken due to being dunked in sea-water... some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:
