It depends on the camera and what's wrong with it. A professional camera with interchangeable lenses is more likely to be repairable for less than the replacement cost than a "point and shoot" all-in-one with a fixed lens.

Fixing broken motor mounts on a 95 Neon?

I have a brand new Sony with a jammed lens and I can get another camera with a broken LCD on eBay for 10. How hard would it be to piece these 2 together into a working camera?

Why don't you send it back to Sony! They should send you another camera because their product was faulty. I would advise you not to take the camera apart. Unfortunately, you will find that a jammed lens will not fall under warranty repair. But many people have reported success in fixing lens errors without even opening the camera. Please see the Related Link "Fixing a Lens Error on a Digital Camera". If you don't have any success with the seven listed lens error techniques. You may want to consider swapping the LCD screens like you originally suggested. If you have a little mechanical or electronics background, it's not hard at all. Please see the other below Related Link concerning replacing an LCD screen for many examples.

Yes you can. However, by using it you wear out your bearings and washing machine drum so it is actually cheaper if you use the HE detergent because you want your washing machine to last as many years as it can. Buying a new washing machine or regularly fixing the old one is more expensive than buying the specialized HE detergent which can be a bit more pricey that the regular detergent.
