Default Repair or replace

Repair or replace. That question often comes up here. I had two examples in
the past week.

I have a Rubbermaid mailbox and post that wad damaged in the snowstorms.
Replacement post, delivered $54
New mailbox and post $52

The light under the kitchen cabinet burned out. It is a fluorescent fixture
that takes an F15 bulb
Replacement bulb $6.88
New fixture including bulb $6.96
The fixture is "assembled in USA" too.

Makes one wonder how they do the pricing of this stuff.
