We had to shift the old crap from the Nedlands Random Access store first before we were allowed to order anything for stock. Which led to those 'garage sale Saturday's' we used to have. Which meant stock was sold *well* under cost, and, due to the accounting system that was used at the store <sigh>, that everything was sold at a loss rather than devalued in the system first (like old software from 5 years earlier!). But, in the end we did not sell enough as a group (2 stores) to justify having the 2 locations, so the weaker store had to go. Such is life! No excuses from me though, as business is business. You might have the best service in town, but if you are not putting money through the cash register, then that service amounts to nothing. Seeya Rod!
