In a business that’s based on moving inventory, if it’s just sitting there it’s taking up space and costing them money. I spent my entire sales career working in the industrial electrical industry for factory reps and distributors and dead inventory is your enemy. For us the magic number was 8 turns/year and if an item had sat there for 3 years without moving it was tossed and we took the hit……and the purchasing manager had some splaining to do. Obviously you’re not going to throw guns in the trash but what you can do is make someone a deal just to get it out the door and replace it with something that people are buying. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤦🏼‍♂️" title="🤦🏼‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f926-1f3fc-2642.png" /> I know a LOT of the guns that I see in shops down in Lawton have been sitting there for many, many, many years. Doesn’t matter what YOU think something is worth, until it sells its worth absolutely nothing. They’d have been better off not buying the guns and investing it in a CD……at least they’d be getting 5% interest.</p></blockquote><p></p>
