Well, my old Canon Powershot G10 wasn't able to turn on, so I concluded it was dead. Then I grabbed my screwdriver and put it into pieces. I removed some parts such as a capacitor, microphone, speaker, LCD screen. Then I went on google and I searched it. I saw it was still pretty expensive. Did I just made a mistake? Should I sell the parts on ebay?

Dropped it in my swimming pool 2 years ago and I found it while cleaning up my basement.
And I even bought a new battery to try...

Ah well...that would have been good to know.
Into the shredder with it!

You shouldn't sell any parts. You can't now guarantee they will work as that dunking in the pool could have affected anything.

So on answer, I don't think you were stupid, the camera was most definitely dead prior to the disassembly, with no hope of fix by you, even a camera repair shop would advise the best option of a trip to the trash can
