To reinforce the point others have made: it’s not repair that’s expensive, it’s manufacturing that has been made unbelievably cheap.

Not appliances , but clothing for exemple was hugely expensive. People had one good suit and that was that.

For context, a dress in London in 1900 was ~20£ and the *yearly* salary of a young professional was 700£
