For me that's spark plugs, batteries, tires, air filters, motor oil etc. I run out of those and I am out of business, I can't service the customers and they go elsewhere. With an easily replaceable item, I sell it as fast as possible.

The difference is if the item is your PRIMARY source of income. Primers are NOT.

It's not like pizzas. It's like pineapple topping on my pizzas. If I have a case of pineapple and somebody wants to buy them ALL, for a profitable price for me, and I know that I can't get anymore for two weeks then I'd be a FOOL to not sell them all. The other people between now and then who are wanting pineapple on their pizza will live without it, and they'll still buy pizza from me.

Gunstore:
I'm not selling EVERY SINGLE GUN in the store, I'm selling primers, a small side section of the business. I still have 99% of the products that 99% of my customers are there for and they know that I'll get the other 1% eventually.
