o.uk...
There's also the cost of someone's time to be taken into account. DIY
repairs can be worth doing, but paying someone do to the job is most likely
uneconomic.
Indeed, which is why a DIYer with a little bit of knowledge can cost
effectively do many things that are not viable to others.
Just think how many electronic devices one can repair and carry on using
for the cost of a couple of capacitors, 10 minutes and some solder?
Indeed, one can often make / save £50-£100ph fixing electronics. The idea that it ain't worthwhile is just popular myth.
Well at a minimum wage of what - £7.50 and hour, if you cant do it in
less than a couple of hours, it ain't worth it.
Not with the overhead of managing the customer and premises.
When did you last see an electronic repairer working for minimum wage? How did you decide repairs are all worth 2 hours labour + business overheads?

Well, exactly...
