Is this bad business?

Just had a new customer in TX call up, she sold out of her flannel shirts fast, called to reorder and added the matching pull-up pants. She wanted 2 of each size in each color across our whole size range. It would be a ton of pants and I know she won't be able to sell them all so I told her 1s across would be better and she could always reorder if she needed.

She's a new store and new store owners always over-order. But it's very possible I left a lot of $ on the table by "saving the customer".

Sometimes I wonder if this is the right thing to do.
