Computers are a good example. Would you buy a new laptop from a shop that couldn't offer a warranty with it? Especially if you just had to drive a little further down the street or across town to get the same thing with one?
That's where this guy gets fucked, his inventory. The $3 mil remodeling job is something transferable- say he becomes a Toyota dealership now, he's gotta change his logos but he's still got his lot, etc. It's the Dodges on the lot and the parts in his onsite warehouse that he takes the hit on. He can still liquidate what he has, he's just got to be willing to take a hit and maybe offload a good chunk if not all of it at or below cost.
It sucks, but the game's not over. His buisness is taking a large hit, but if he's smart he can stay out of bankruptcy.
