What is the most expensive thing in your shop?

My thoughts are it's pretty much the same thing for everyone. Thoughts?

The single most expensive piece of equipment if I had to replace it would be my 54 inch vastex dryer, followed closely by my 8/8 workhorse manual.

Press.   By far.

Loaded question, if we mean single piece of equipment, for us clearly the auto.  If we mean soup to nuts total operation the most expensive thing is the people.

in a contract shop it is always going to be labor. . . 60% of our charges goes right back to employees.

ok is this a trick question?  would it be the beer fridge empty or with the beer in it?

[tonypep]

Getting closer to my thought process (well maybe not the beer) but not quite. I do have a point here but I'll wait to see if anyone else bites.

The shop?

After myself and the dog it would be the press but a close second would be inventory. This would include ink, pallets, cleaning supplies both yours and customer garments, etc.
