How to protect cash and grow the repair shop
Three income routes and the safest early-game spending rule.
Step by step
Prioritize paid orders
Walk-in customers and email jobs provide the clearest early income. Finish existing work before tying cash up in speculative purchases.
Check fixed costs
Keep enough cash for recurring shop expenses such as rent and internet before buying cosmetic or convenience upgrades.
Salvage before buying new
Used electronics can be repaired for resale or dismantled for components. Compare the likely part value with the purchase cost.
Upgrade after the buffer
Only reinvest surplus cash once the next round of bills and active repair requirements are protected.
Verification notes
- Exact prices and the strongest flips require full-game verification.
- A profit table will replace general advice once device economics are recorded.
