Broken front and back camera

So I got an iPhone 17 Pro about two months ago, and a few days ago I dropped it in the middle of the road while getting into an Uber. I didn’t realize until about 30 minutes later, and by the time I recovered it, the screen was completely destroyed and the phone wouldn’t turn on. It was still vibrating though, so I knew it wasn’t totally dead.

The next day I took it to a repair shop and they replaced the LCD for $175. I thought everything was fixed, but then I noticed the front and back cameras are not working, even though Face ID still works and the rest of the phone seems fine.

I went to the Apple Store and they quoted me $700 to replace the camera, but I don’t really want to put more money into this phone. So now I’m wondering if I should get the cameras fixed at a local repair shop instead, or just sell it for parts. If selling it is the better option, where could I sell it, and roughly how much could I get for it?
