Question When to Fix It? When to Scrap It?

I just fixed a 10 year old dryer for $178.00. The way I figure, it was about $400 (including sales tax) for a new end bottom of the line gas dryer, same capacity and all. It was either that or run in an electric line for a cheaper electric one.

But I will admit there does come a point where you have to scrap something - a car, an appliance, a piece of furniture and buy new.

Anybody have a hard and fast rule they use? 50% of replacement cost?
