Krismusic Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I’m pretty sure they are a company that would have a very large inventory of slabs probably a years worth for con seasons as they would order materials when submissions come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like everything else we buy. I hope that changes as a learning lesson from Corona.

Whatever happened to the ones that used to last 20 years. My toaster has lasted 20 years because I got it as a wedding present and we've used it once every 5 years. How many uses will we get out of it? Because if we get 15, I'll be in my 80s. Edited April 18, 2020 by valiantman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong well my window and door company had glass, vinyl and door slabs in stock for Aprox a year and a half since the door slabs come from oversea but you have to buy sku of 1000s so it’s more cost effective to buy large quantities this is why we do a yearly inventory and they replenish based on the detailed count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine last about 6 or 7 years on average, but I make toast at least twice a day. Buttered toasted sourdough is my default snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
