| I started with a £150 spares purchase and need a couple more items to bring it to probably £220 total cost.
All three 9206 servo sets went, I lost most of the head linkages, flybar, feathering spindle, blades, canopy, fan shroud, main shaft & bearings, tail fin, undercarriage legs and a few other small bits.
I can usually count on around £150 for a smash (on previous experience) as the canopy doesn't take much to go but that just give me a chance to 'experiment' with different paint styles  .
I find that the 3D parts are generally cheaper than most other bits (at this level). Not sure if it's due to the fact that there is only one 'link' in the chain when importing into this country.
Just got to wait for the weekend now so I can get it back in the air.
Cheers

Thought I'd re-build it from scratch this time - got most of the bits to replace the broken parts so now all I need is time 
A nice auto ended with the heli sitting over some freshly cut grass a short distance away from me so I spooled her up to bring her back again. I couldn't see it at the time, but it picked up some of that grass and less than 10 seconds into the flight the tail stopped which stopped the head also and it plummited down with only the innevitable conclusion!
, maybe you are cheaper of with a new one
lucky no mishap with the bend main shaft..
