>>>spares and parts can sold in the future why write them down now unless because they had such a blow out quarter that it could be easily done so without damaging the eps surprise. And if they do sell them at a future date, then the margin on them would be 100%, thus a boost to the eps if they need to goose the number to beat estimates.<<< This is known as managing the numbers and many very successful, public companies do it to a fair-thee-well including Microsoft, Intel and GE.
