inventory

end of the year buzzkill......counting hundreds of small parts, bicycles, frames, and forks. Then, having to pay some guy by the name of Uncle Sam money for parts that sit on my shelf, in boxes, or tucked away in drawers. In some cases, parts that have been at the barn for almost a decade, patiently waiting for the right customer to walk through the door. Inventory equals revenue. I suppose though if there was to be a beacon of light across the rainbow it would be the fact that dust collected upon bags of bike parts is the catalyst for value depreciation....as parts mature in age, they depreciate more in actual value. Thankfully, that's the way the government works it, cuz i've got waaaaay too much old stuff in here. Old stuff re-acquianted on a yearly basis that enivitably makes my eyes light up like a youngster at christmas.
