Stock Turn for the win

[Zak33]

I'm not sure how many of you are in "retail" or run your own business's, but I'm all for getting rid of stock that's not turning fast.

Doesn't matter if you lose dough on the item in question, sellit for whatever it's really worth, and get the money back in the bank,then buy something that WILL sell and go again.

This is a golden rule, that many many people just don't do.

However, further, if it's "hobby" style stuff, things that are kinda non essentials, (like PC hardware) then you further have the potential of someone buying more than they need, just because "while I'm at it I'll have......."

As a BUYER, I am one of those people. While buying from online retailers OR shops, if I see something good value I'll buy it for when someone does need it in the future.

Example:

Scan's Today only:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/produ...oductID=664362

Retail £50, today £23.50!

So pleased was I (though I don't need them) I also got
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/produ...oductID=664363
£31 retail, today under £18, cos that TO is a bargain.

I actually don't need them....but one day I actually WILL need them.

Now I'm sure Scan made a loss on those, but while I was on the phone (sorry chap, I can't remember your name but you're very helpful, so thanks) I had 50 CD-R's and a new keyboard for nearly £30.

Now THAT I wanted..but I've been puting it off until I needed something else.

I didn't NEED any of this stuff.....but it shows...

STOCK TURN WORKS!

If it aint selling, drop it, market it right, and it WILL sell, and then use the money, however little it is, to go again with something that will sell

Buying things you don't need ftw!

I got some crickets from the pet shop earlier. Do I own a large spider? No. Am I going to get one soon? No. I don't even have a tank for it if I did. I don't know the first thing about them.

But 60p for 500 crickets? You know what time it is! Its time to buy some crickets!

EDIT - There are crickets all over my house. To the pet shop - I need me a Spider!

I don't know why she swallowed the fly. Perhaps she'll die?

I assume this will culminate in an old lady swallowing a horse and pegging it in the process?
