Exactly --- it makes the $25 part cost $75 instead of $50, plus all the trouble it gave you. Add to that the value of your time (and nerves and data), and the $25 part suddenly costs a couple hundreds or thousands (and something priceless). On top of that, many times you don't even need to buy the more expensive part because you can get a better part for the same money or for even less. That's an advantage when you're short on money: you learn how to do that. -- Knowledge is volatile and fluid.
