Hello everyone, recently my old mac died and it thought it would be a good idea to buy a new one, the problem is I am short on money. After some searching on eBay I found a MacBook Pro for a reasonable price, but here's the catch: it was water damaged. My question is would it be worth buying it and attempting to repair it or sending it off to a repair shop?
Thanks for your time :bounce:

Unless you know exactly what is wrong with it, and you know specifically how to fix it, no.

Or, if it is under $50...OK.

"Water damaged" = It was in the back seat of this for 3 days:
