Unless you're selling pianos. *Anytime* you purchase items with the purposes of resale, trust me, Carl, the State you do this business in is interested, very interested! In accounting accounts called Purchases and Sales monitor this activity, and when profit is realized, the States concerned would like their fair share for your privilege of doing business. Point of sale is taken very seriously by the State who stands to receive this fair share. Some items, such as individual hammer shanks or individual hammers can be regarded as a necessary Supplies expense of doing repairs if one so chooses, but selling complete sets of hammer shanks or hammers cannot be regarded as the same thing in the normal day to day business.
