Buying rental inventory is a bet that each item will earn back what it cost, and then some, before you retire it. Whether a chair or a tent top was a good buy depends on how long it keeps going out on orders, and how long it keeps looking good enough to send.<\/p>\n

Most rental inventory lasts anywhere from a few seasons to more than 10 years. The range is that wide because an item wears out from how many times it rents and how it’s handled between rentals, and the calendar has little to do with it. Knowing where an item falls in that range matters most at the restocking order and the pricing review, when a cheaper chair or a heavier tent top is on the table.<\/p>\n

Below are lifespans item by item, counted in the unit that wears each one out, plus what moves them, how to price for them, and how to find your own number.<\/p>\n
