I would be inclined to try and repair it because you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so. You wont be devaluing anything since broken is useless and you wont be out of pocket, or shouldnt, by so doing.

My favorite material for fixing things is one (or more) of the many epoxy resins. Theres not much you can't fix with epoxy.
