How 'bout--"Last Chance 427 Baldwin Motion Nova for Sale"...

[69hurstSC]

racefan, i guess i would side with the "anti-flippers" on this one. making a profit on a car doesn't bother me. (in my eyes) the thing that makes me look at this situation differently is that a "flipper" doesn't have his heart and soul into the car that he is "flipping". i have owned my Road Runner for 11 years and my SC for 3 now. i never desired the Road Runner but now it defines me. now i wouldn't even trade it straight up for my dream car (69 yenko Nova). i'm guessing "flippers" are willing to trade THAT car for there dream car. people i know who look at "flippers" kind of have that same opinion as me. there car defines them and they wouldn't even trade it for there dream car. one week there cuda is at the car show next to your cuda and there talking about how this car is "everything they ever wanted" and 2 months later there in a chevelle and you ask, "wheres the cuda", they reply, "i got bored with it". and no, i have never sold a car and made money.

I agree with you SC. I feel as you do personally. I have not done the "trading up" thing because I have a problem with attachment to material things. Now, my brother feels totally different. His philosophy is "yea, I like it alot--but everything I have is for sale".

boys it's all about ethics...they will only bring what the market will bear whether it be slinkys or cars...bottom line when you sell disclose all the good and bad and life just works smooth...problem is when you pass off a tird at a nice car price...

I have done my fair share of selling and fact is I would not have what I have if I just went to work everyday and came home and tried to make do with what the check brought into the household...

most people I have met personally like face to face and have a problem with people reselling items are generally lazy sob's and just feel sorry for themselves or the world owes them something or something along those lines...this is a great country and if your willing to keep your head down and work you can get r done!!!

say what ya want about people that flip cars fact is everyone you come in contact with everyday is a flipper, coffee chick, gas station, your boss..if you dont like the price go down the street and go into the next store and shop around.... like the chopper guy says "get back to work!!!"

People flipping cars is not going to go away. It may be their livelihood or a way to earn extra cash. There is good and bad with everything. If we don't think a car is worth what is being asked for it..we just don't buy it.

I don't have a problem with someone selling something for more then they paid for it,but I do when they won't admit that is their sole reason for acquiring said object in the first place,and want to use someone to get it by acting like a close friend and take advantage of them.
I have seen dozens of people approach me & others,asking for help or details in identifying that "special part" or finding that "special vehicle" they always wanted,...(Funny I never heard them say that was their dream car before..or show any interest in that before the B/J auction results came out)..saying something like they want to wrench on it with their son as their wife serves them Lemonade in their driveway on a Sunday afternoon...Only to see them front and center at some auction or website classifieds soon afterwards,asking at least 10K + or more then they just paid.When I confront them,feeling they used me or anyone else for that matter,they merely studder saying that had no idea how much maintenance was required,or they just couldn't keep interested in it so they're asking for much more then they have in it,hoping to get it and then never to be heard from again.
Just plain greed in my book.
I screen my calls now.

Like budnate, I've been able to enjoy this hobby and progress to more desirable cars by finding a great deal here and there, seeing the potential in the car, and restoring/fixing/improving things to bring out that potential. That's a part of the hobby that gives me great enjoyment. I've been able to justify the "flipping" in my own mind by doing the car justice on some level and not doing things "quickie." I think if someone invests time and/or money in a car to improve it, then "flipping" it isn't such a bad thing. Its when the greed factor creeps in and people shortcut things, hide flaws, or flat-out misrepresent a car that I have a real problem.

Ditto, I don't have time for flippers, they have different priorities than I do, and I'd rather spend my time helping people acquire their passion instead of their bankroll.
