 > You also need to contend with expiration dates on meds, no?

Yeah, but the stuff I carry has expiration horizons of 3 to 5 years.

I sometimes have to discard overstock, but usually it is overstock they gave me
as part of a deal and was forced to take. "Sure, we can sell to you this
VitamineD order at half the regulñar price, but you need to order 5 boxes and
also take this box of Oat Milk for free".

In the example, I might be confident I can sell all the Vitamin  D within the
year and I am also sure I won't ever sell the milk. I think sometimes they do
this to me because they have dead stocks themselves and they don't want to
store it anymore. What happens is I drink the milk myself until it expires,
then discard it :-P


Local economy is in heavy contraction, so I don t buy stocks that are not
guaranteed to sell just in case I may hit it big with them. That is something I
used to do when I started because I needed to figure out what worked and what
didn t. The only exceptions are products that are bad business but sell
products that are extremely good business. For example, there isn not much
money in selling cotton disks, but there is money in selling products for
removing makeup. HOwever, people who buys de-makeup products also likes to buy
cotton disks in the same store, so if you want to sell demakeup products you
need to have cotton disks.
