My current toaster, a 2-slice Hamilton-Beach in white enamel, cost $5
new--I recently saw it for $7. I'll pop the bottom and dump the
crumbs, but not much more than that, given the price.
And that's me, who hates throwing anything away. But there are
limits.
Make computers/mobile phones/tablets cheap enough and there's no
reason to repair them, assuming that you could (which is not a given
today).
