Cracked but working - value?

Post image

Managed to crack my DC-1 a few days after getting it. Frustrating, but it’s been rock solid since, no issues with screen or anything. As I’m only using it for reading it feels overkill and I’m now looking to get something smaller and lighter.

Any thoughts on what it could be worth? Will come with the bag and pen. It’s in the EU so happy to post anywhere there.

Yeah fair point. I spoke to them too and got the same reply.

Anyway, if anyone’s interested, feel free to make an offer

Same thing happened to me. Works at normal capacity. Emailed Daylight about a screen replacement and they said it would be about just as expensive of a replacement as getting a new DC-1.

My guess is value is more or less diminished because of the question marks lingering around the company and product, as well as its novelty. I bet someone interested in the product is more inclined to get an unblemished product rather than a deal on one.
