Cool, forgo it all day every day. That could make sense for you since it is actual inventory on an actual floor ready to actually be sold. All that is totally different from a component a shop cant even buy from vendors.
As it stands with no access to the component- $0 in component sales and $0 in charged labor, which = $0 profit
If you buy the component from an online retailer and do not upcharge- $0 in component sales and $25 in charged labor, which = $25 in profit.
If you buy the component from an online retailer and do upcharge for the service and time- $10 in component sales and $25 in charged labor, which = $35 in profit.
^ this assumes your mechanic is working and paid hourly so they are available to install in all scenarios.
Again, your scenario with a bike on the floor isnt at all close to what I posted about. The only similarities are that they both involve sales at a bike shop. Other than that, they arent at all alike and the fundamental differences should be clear.
