An AVERAGE frame. Or, an AVERAGE frame line. Or, your entire inventory.
Ergo, you shouldn't have more than double what you sell per year. In my case, that's pretty small: 800-1000. So I should have 400-500 frames. I'm in that vicinity.
It makes you buy as sharp as possible, and return as much as reasonable. (If you go the full service, full cost approach.)(There are smarter, more profitable ways to do it, of course, but not by an optometry practice.)
Edit: I have bloat. 573 frames. 21 lines. Only 7 vendors, though. I have to go on a diet.
