    Either you quit trying and lose $800 sunk, or you spend $800 for $1,600 total in which the Net from the sale of $1,000 would results in a loss of $600. That means it will be of good to lose $600 than $800.

    Explanation:

    Since $800 has been spent which means Spending up to an additional $1,000 is still reasonable, but a condition in which you know that the deal will definitely go through.

    Secondly since you have already sunk $800, and you know that spending an additional $800 would guarantee it, you can do one among this two options which are either you stop trying and lose the $800 sunk, or you the spend $800 for $1,600 ($1,000+$600) total in which the Net from the sale of $1,000 would results in a loss of $600 ($1,000-$800=200,$800-$200=$600). That means it will be of good to lose $600 than $800.
