Imo, items shouldn't have to be sold, they should all be movable. Upgrades (motor, balloon. hammer 'n stuff) should be item specific, not global. The way it is now, I end up using one upgraded engine which I can never sell because upgrades are abysmally expensive. I don't use any stock parts, they're weak and selling them to move them somewhere else just makes them more and more expensive. That means, even if I get new cogs, not only do I have to pay their price, I also have to sell an engine and then upgrade it all over again. I don't think it's a good mechanics.
I think games should be fun, let us experiment, not be an exercise in patience or long term planing. If I wanted to play "real life: the game", I would get off the computer, not on it.

Good point about letting the player experiment. I'll need to think of it. Right now when you sell the part, the buying price goes back as well (but not precisely to the old level)

Still no clue what the mine carts, and green slider, and whatever does. Needs tooltips explaining before you buy.
