[Boatanchors] Electronic Goldmine parts

[Nick England]

I keep hearing this, but can someone please tell me how to make money by "writing it off"? In Real Life that means you treat the actual cost of an obsolete item as an expense which reduces profit which reduces taxes. Meaning if you paid $5 for a widget and then throw it away, you save maybe $1.50 in taxes. But you still have spent $3.50 for the widget you threw away.

Note- what you can "write off" is the actual cost of the widget, not the $995 price you posted on eBay with no takers. 

If you believe otherwise, please "write off" a box full of $20 bills and send them to me...I'll be happy to pay postage even if you don't use a flat rate box. 
Cheers,
Nick K4NYW
