Given today's manufacturing, which is manufacture cheap, sell cheap, make it last a short time.

Can you price your service such that you make profit and at the same time it won't be cheaper for the customer to buy a new one?

What is your suggestion? How much should be the price?

I'm not sure. You tell me. Can you price it high enough to make profit and low enough to make people want to repair and not buy a new one?

I think we can. What do you think? Would you mind paying $0.5 extra on a repair amount of $10.

Currently we've decided to charge 5% of the repairing fee as the service charge for example if the repairing fee came out to be $10 then we'd take $0.5 as service charge so you'd have to pay $10.5 in total but we haven't finalised on this model and have decided to do experiments with various models we've thought of.
