Okay, so why not stipulate that parts need to be available at a reasonable price?

- Dalewyn 3y agoDo you mean reasonable as in "Here is cost of manufacture, our margin for selling this to you, plus any other costs incurred." or "We want cheap and we want it now!"? Personally, as someone who appreciates having the possibility to repair something, I'm happy so long as I can buy first-party parts at all. If I want or need to repair something, the cost is ultimately irrelevant.
- Buttons840 3y agoThe first. I can't see how the part would cost more than the whole with the first regulations.

Keeping track of parts for them, when you're building 30 very similar but oh slightly different models of the same washing machine to fuck over your customers (er, segment market) - well, now that becomes a Hard and Expensive problem.
