I think the reason people say flipping a car is ruinning the hobby is because all the flipping runs the price up. But I don't think it's really the flipping that runs the prices up as much as the prospect of flipping for a profit. That leads to everyone jumping on the original parts and running those prices up. It's not as much about flipping as it is about how one goes about "acquiring" the car to be flipped. That's where it gets cut-throat. Personally, I have never made any money on any car or truck I've had(at least 25-30 vehicles) but I did make $200 on an old Boston Whaler after using it for 4 years!
