Maintaining inventory makes “cost” a weird concept. And I can’t think of any regulation requiring anyone to provide something at “cost” that works well.

If they're able to maintain inventory on all of their current products I think they can probably maintain inventory on parts for them.

Of course they can, the person above was alluding to the fact that keeping an inventory of parts often costs more than the parts themselves.

A lot of their “inventory” is “ship it right after manufacture directly to the customer”.
