That would make sense if I were being paid to fix it for a customer.
It's my backup vacuum. I don't want to put a lot of money into it and I
can afford to check websites at my convenience.
A few years ago the computer board for my HVAC failed. It would have
cost $200 to $300 to have it replaced. I found an online supplier with
a good inventory of well-described parts and did it for $20, including
spares. They have turned away from retail customers.
Before that I used a paper catalog with a good inventory of
well-described parts. They dropped their retail service.
If I found a good online retailer, the switch and shipping might be
under $10 and it could be as quick as ordering from Sears. I might end
up spending more than $20 for my order, but that would be because I'd
spotted other goodies.
