anytime a component is purchased as new, there is a risk that it will be unsuitable and sold.
there will be some loss incurred when selling a component purchased new, unless bought at a large discount.
a restocking fee may generate a cost equivalent to the difference between the original purchase price and the price at which the component is resold. in that case there is an advantage in taking the risk of incurring the restocking fee.
assuming there is more than a 50 percent chance of keeping the component, paying the restocking fee avoids the nuisance of reselling.
