A client asked me to fix a camera without reporting previous water damage
It was an older DSLR they planned to trade in, and the board had clear signs of past moisture. They just wanted it working enough to pass a quick check at the store. I know a proper repair would cost more than the camera is worth, but hiding this feels shady. Where do you draw the line between helping a customer and being part of a dishonest sale?

Problem is, you know it's been wet and they're hiding that. Getting it to turn on for a minute is still helping them trick someone.

Last time I traded a camera at Best Buy, they just turned it on and clicked the shutter. Most places do a quick check, not a full look inside. If you get it working, it might pass without you lying about anything. The store checks it themselves, not you. You did the repair asked of you. I doubt this is as big a moral issue as it feels.
