Don't risk replacing a screen from local market with a genuine one. The crack is barely visible. I think you should keep the laptop as it is if it is fulfilling your requirements.
You can sell it but all the buyers would slash price to at least 40% just because it has a crack barely visible from sideways.

So keep the laptop and use it till it lasts if it has no visibility issues while working or watching movies.

Ok then I am planning to add a SSD drive and keep this one while it lasts. Though, I have heard that screens can be replaced from 6Th road RWP and they might offer some discount for this screen (don't know why they would do this). Worth a shot!

You should consider this that if you buy a screen from 6th road it would either be taken from another laptop (which might mean that it has already been repaired) or they would sell you chinese made lcd which would hardly last 6 months. Usually such things don't have any warranties and even if it does then it takes months to claim which is frustrating.

The choice is yours at the end of the day.

P.S another thing you could do is keep this lcd with you and buy a new one. In this way you'd be safe to put back in the old LCD if the new one fails.

Its a surface crack only so wont bother you much. screens cannot be repaired but will require replacement. a new screen will cost a humongous amount and wont be a good option for you. getting a used screen would be bad choice as they are used and have no warranty.
would suggest to live with the cracked screen.

Yeah​, it does not bother much. But i am thinking to sell it after repair to get relatively good price. And then buy some next generation laptop.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
