Obsolete Inventory

A local department store was going out of business,
inventory being sold off.
Some treasures?
Choose Life tees from the Wham era.
Original bell bottoms.
LP’s.

As a consumer,
I found it interesting.
As a businesswoman,
I found it sad.

This inventory,
a shirt here, a belt there,
all came with ongoing costs.
Warehouse space, insurance expenses,
someone having to move it.
It contributed to the department store’s failure.

Obsolete inventory is not free to keep.
If it doesn’t add value to your company,
get rid of it.
