I have an Ender 3 V2 that lasted basically just until the warranty expired and then started giving me all kinds of problems. I tried some repairs but being in college I just didn't have the time to deal with it, so I just bought an Elegoo and moved on with life. The Ender has just sat since.

Is it worth going to the effort of trying to sell it for parts, or is that something that I just wouldn't find a buyer for on marketplace/ebay or whatever? Some of the parts are basically new and I hate the idea of just throwing it out when there are perfectly usable parts.

A month ago I would have said throw it in the trash. However, the prices of printers are shooting up so a printer "for-parts" might actually be more attractive right now. Search the "Sold Listings" on Ebay and see what a "for-parts" Ender 3 V2 is selling for.
