It's funny how those little things you hang onto can end up being useful down the road though. The quick release, valances, and one fender on my car now sat on a shelf for a good 8-10 years before seeing the light of day once again haha

Oouf. I've been there. I've been involved with a few eCommerce stores over the years and it's always been a struggle to sustain/scale, especially with Amazon/China ripping off designs... Luckily I can automate 75% of the new project, there's no physical product, and overhead is next to nothing.
