True. It isn't always about a cost/labour analysis. Sometimes I want to repair something to learn how to do it. Sometimes I want to repair something because even though 'my time is valuable', I hate the idea of throwing out something I know will rot in the landfill for a thousand years. Sometimes I'm just attached to the thing and afraid I won't find a replacement that is as good (which is often the case).
I hate our throwaway culture, it's good to know how to fix things even if it isn't technically 'cost effective' to do so.
All of these reasons but I also just enjoy the experience of fixing something. It feeds the soul in some deep way for me

Also it's fun.
I was living in a shithole apartment with a noisy fridge that the landlord wouldn’t fix and complaining to my therapist about it. He suggested I fix it, which was a completely alien idea to me at the time. It was a lot less complicated than I expected, I learned a lot about how it worked, and my self-confidence and perceived control over my circumstances skyrocketed.
Also, I think that you shouldn't put a price on your free time off work? You wouldn't be working anyway, why put a price tag on it?
Absolutely -- I hate how we've been raised to think of time in monetary terms; I have to remind myself on days off that "No, I do not need to do anything it's my day off! I can sleep in... no need to be productive ..."
Me with all my Koss headphones (looking at you KPH30i!), and everything with a depleted rechargeable battery.
It challenges me, relaxes me, and I get a cool experience out of it
