Known ReStory economy values
¥5,120Atari 2600 online repair payout
Paid after the courier repair was completed. This is job revenue, not a repaired-device resale price.
¥2,000Atari 2600 donor purchase
The purchased donor had a cracked top cover, so another donor was needed. It is a risk example, not a complete job cost.
¥40,000Nony PMP service license
A progression cost visible on the in-game service-license site.

Quick answers
ReStory calculator FAQ
Are the quick estimates exact ReStory prices?
No. Each preset starts from one Demo 0.1.051r observation. The low and high options apply a visible 15% planning buffer, and you should replace the estimate with your current-save value when available.
What is the break-even sale price?
It is the broken-device purchase plus replacement parts, supplies, and selling costs. Selling below that amount makes the repair path lose currency.
How should I estimate donor-part value?
Count only reusable parts that are likely to replace future purchases. Use a conservative total and revise it after disassembly confirms condition.
Is this an official ReStory tool?
No. Repair or Scrap is an independent fan-made utility and is not affiliated with Mandragora or tinyBuild.
