USA:

I know the rule would be to trust the American seller ...but nowadays the logical conclusion is the American seller gets his stock from the Chinese distributor...so ...it is roulette ...but I think you'll be fine with some of the chinese sellers...I've ordered a couple displays before... a few years back...and they haven't given me any problem. And the prices aren't wallet-breakers

I see you are based in HU. As far as I know, there is no ebay.hu (www.ebay.hu just redirects to www.ebay.com), but most phone parts sellers are based in China or act as proxies for Chinese sellers anyway so it does not make a difference. You will need a credit card and maybe a PayPal account.

(endsormeans has beaten me with the direct links)

Some TMO members have recommended parts4repair.com, based in Singapore. I cannot vouch for them: I made only one order and it never arrived, so I do not know how good their stock is. They were very helpful in issuing a refund though.

hmm
best price I could find is this one....

edit: wrong link provided (gotta find the one I DID find now...)
quality ...is unknown...never bought from this guy before....
I couldn't find any lcd's from the sellers I used a few years back...
so you are going to have to prudently try your luck (if the concept actually exists...."prudently trying your luck"... that is.... )

Scope out the negative feedbacks from sellers you zero-in on and eeny-meeny man!

Purchasing on eBay is not an issue anymore for me. I've already ordered some really cheap things there. Like $3 digitizers for Samsung S5230 or LG GT540. The only LCD I've ordered there was for HTC HD2, it was faulty, and broke every digitizer connected to it, but the image quality was good.

The last link is just a touch panel and it's working.

Anyway, I have a chance to buy an original, but used one. Approximately for 32 USD. Does it worth so much money?

Ha! Ya ...you're right.
Here I'm paying more attention to the sellers and their feedback ...than the product. Sorry bout that one ...my oopsie..I'll pull that .
Price of lcd ...hasn't really gone up or down on ebay...just stayed constant.
Is it worth it?
Depends on how invaluable you're device is in your own opinion...
If you have other alt. devices that can fill the void...it may seem a little much..
If you can't do without "Old Trusty" ...well it's pretty cheap.

It's just about I don't have any money at the moment. Totally broke...
But it's on the important side of the todo list.

And yeah, the feedbacks. They were good so why not? And those cheap products are maybe the same as the 2x 3x price products.

But the price difference is negligible. Given the choice of a genuine but used one for $32 and unknown origin "new" or "seller refurbished" with a 14+ days delivery for $33 (one of ensormeans' links), I know which one I would go for.

But this will be the second time I change the screen. The first occured in the warranty time. Dead pixels everywhere. That was the symptom. Just from one night to a morning... And it began to spread. Just like the Lumia520 nowadays.

But I also think that the genuine would be better.

I bought a hopefully genuine one in Hungary. It wasn't that expensive.
It works well. I hope it will serve for loong years.
