At the same time, Cabela's online inventory seems to be growing, esp Parkers, LC's, Lefevers.


Idle inventory, whether new or used, is idle money meaning no cash flow. No cash flow, no business. Businesses, especially luxury/hobby businesses, are going to have to get lean and mean if they are going to surive the economic storm.
