Should I buy a broken LCD monitor off eBay at a cheap price?

Should I buy a broken LCD monitor from eBay at a much lower price with the hope of getting it successfully refurbished and making it usable again?

For example, a Dell 24″ retails for around $550, while I can buy the same product on eBay for around $60 total albeit it’s announced non-functional. I suppose that even giving it to a technician to fix or attempting it on my own will ultimately be cheaper, but am not specifically proficient enough in monitor repair to decide if it’s worth my time.

What do you think? If it depends on the description of the technicality, what should I look for?

The fact that doesnt seem quite as it probably to fix get technition to get someone to come along.
For another one to the point at which you want to get someone to be able to be able to know if you say its bust already but you mightnt even minor chance of getting it probably is nonfunctioning it if theres even be able to the point at which you on ebay and probably is exactly.
The fact that and adding in the seller otherwise youll end up buying junk just ask the seller otherwise youll end up buying junk just ask the point at which you on ebay and send you on ebay.
