Momto32003 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Well, a couple weeks ago I bought the Kodak C310 with printer. I even came to this website to post about the great deal and was turned on to another one where I got a PM. Well, my kids broke the camera last night. The knocked it off the printer dock and busted the screen in the middle where you see the actual PIC you are taking. I am so extremely upset and in tears right now. (pregnancy hormones don't help...LOL) I paid $200 for the whole thing and it will cost $130 to buy a new camera. Not worth it. Thanks for letting me vent and cry on your shoulders. LOL :cry2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest outrbanx Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 So sorry to hear that. Take it back to the store and tell them that it came out of the box that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, DH is saying the same thing but I have had it for almost 2 months now. He just wants me to buy a new one and then do the return. I think I will just try and sell the printer and cut my loss.

Steakgoddess Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I knw how you feel. I dropped our digital camera out of the car and then it got ran over. (Long story, we were offroading in the Jeep) We chalked it up and bought another camera. Well, you could sell it on eBay. I see dead cameras for sale there.

bassmount Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Why not take it to a camera store and see how much it would cost to fix it? If it isn't too much, then you still have your camera and didn't mess up your deal too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinatra Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Did you charge it to a credit card? Some companies offer accidental damage protection for the first 90 days or so. It's worth checking with the card company. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob052067 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Momto...any chance you bought it with a gold or platiunum credit card? Most of these cards carry damage/theft/loss protection on purchases for 60 days from purchase... EDIT: Whoops...just saw Sinatra's entry from 3 minutes prior to mine...

If it isn't too much, then you still have your camera and didn't mess up your deal too much. I think DH called the number on the box last night to see but since he is still insisting I buy a new one and return it, I am assuming it will cost to much or they can't fix it. Any ideas on outside sources I can check into? I bought it from Kmart. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labgeek Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 So sorry to hear that. Take it back to the store and tell them that it came out of the box that way. Yep committing FRAUD is always a great idea. I take it you don't believe in karma. Or do you feel it's okay to steal from them because they're a large company??

civicracinggirl7 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 If it's just the viewing screen, then you can still use the camera, and just not view the pictures until they're on the computer. Or, you can put it on eBay. You'll take a loss on it, but it won't be a complete loss. I'm sure someone would find a use for it, either to fix it, for parts, or to use as is. Or, you can find out how much it would cost to fix. It's unfortunate that it had to break, but these things happen and you have some options on what to do without giving up completely on it.

TamiL Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I would see if the manufacturer would replace it. We bought a Fuji camera several years ago that suffered the same fate when it fell off the mantel and onto a stone hearth. Fuji didn't even ask what happened, they just fixed it and returned it to us. When I went shopping for a much more expensive camera a few years later, I chose Fuji without even considering other cameras. They were the best!

He said Kodak said it was still under there warranty but didn't know off the top of her head if they would fix it or not. I have to send it in and they will either fix it or it will cost around $70 to fix. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebony0421 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I say if Kodak can fix it, let them fix it depending on how much it costs. Don't worry, it'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
