  • Essentially all the products where the following is true:

    (cost of parts + cost of repair work) is comparable to the cost of the new product. (that means ≥ or slightly lower)

    All those features you would like are great but hurt the profits so you won't get them, sorry.

  • This is the whole point: they cannot expand. While there will always be cheap enough products that don't make economic sense to repair there will always be goods that can be repaired. The limit is set by a complex economic equilibrium and is always moving but first you have to create that possibility.

    Right now there is only limited repair possibility not because it's not feasible economically or there are no providers or customers for the service but because there is an active struggle from the manufacturers to stop this activity for increased sales and profits.

  • You know there are guys living from repairs, right? They are repairing products that were built on purpose not to be repaired while the manufacturers are actively and intentionally hampering the access to information and parts.
