Like that would happen when they can sell £4 cables for £300.

It's not that £4 cable costs £300. £4 is the scrap value of the copper once the insulation has been peeled off. Freshly made cable costs a bit more than that.

It costs £300 to fix because of the cost of the cable, labour and the workmanship.

Why scrap it when you can turn around and sell it right back to them?

If I break into your house and steal your TV then knock on your door the next day to offer to sell it back to you, would you buy it?

Depends on how much copper is in it, I guess

Not much since I stripped it out and sold it for a cool $4. Now do you want this cable for 1/2 off or not!
