Yes, No or maybe

I recently purchased off of eBay a Alpha 6300 body.  Being ignorant at the time I did not ask what the shutter count was.

I just recently started to go looking into the function and spec of the camera. The camera appears to be in good shape,

everything works correctly. However the shutter count is 137K. According to what I've read the shutter unit is

only suppose to be 100k. I inquired what the cost of replacing the shutter unit and MB unit would be the quote came was

$367. Service includes parts,  calibration and other services as needed. The big question...  do I have it done considering the cost of

a new 6300 or chuck it and see if some other unsuspecting person will buy it?

 

Your thoughts???

Welcome to our forum. My thoughts, use the camera until it goes defective and don’t worry until then. After failure consider getting it repaired or buying another one (maybe a follow-up model).

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Maybe I worry too much. I always have my Sony Cybershot as backup (and isn't bad for it's size).

Thanks for the feedback.
