VERY true. For our situation (and I would guess most),we are only concerned with clearance items because there may not be any additional product due to discontinued items, etc. As far as "regular" items, we only keep track of inventory in order to display an estimated ship time, and not whether or not we oversell stock. Due to the fact that our company was originally a catalog/phone order business, items on backorder are fine. If our entire stock had to play this game it would paint an entirely different picture.

For some business models, one way might be better than another, and for others, the reverse may be the case.
