Problem I see with that is that it would take a LOT of cars bought/sold for me to work my way up to approach Goldberg for his car. Then, I would have the label?

Two of Kims quotes:

[ QUOTE ]
he says man I will never sell this car. I have always wanted one of these cars. Then six weeks later it's for sale 7 times more than you sold to him for. That's a flipper.



[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
If a money problem cames up and he has to sells it. I have no problem with that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait a minute here, Kim. You were asking $100K for your Yenko that you bought(probably for peanuts in the scheme of things) 7-8 months earlier from a guy who had no idea it was a yenko and of course you did not bring it up to him. Sooo, 2 months is a flipper and 7-8 month is not??

On the second quote you make it sound like it's o.k. to flip a car if you need the money but not o.k. just to make a profit. That how it appears at least to me.

You said you were selling your car to get into another car avaenue. That is not a money problem we are talking about-not being able to buy food for your kids, now that is a money problem.

You gave the impression on past post you would never sell it(the yenko) and looked down upon people who did so because they were carpetbaggers who "sold cars for $$ and have no love of the hobby" Bla Bla Bla speech.

I see 2-3 inconsistencies/hyprocicies here.

I believe the term "Flipper" would be slapped on someone who strictly buys cars to sell. Lets say you found an old COPO chevelle for 40k and then a week later you see your dream car Yenko camaro for sale for a price you could afford if you sold the chevelle for 80K. You would do it and you are not a flipper, you just happen to find something better in your eyes. I sold a car I was planning on keeping to get my 69 Z/28 JL8 and another totally original black 69 Z. I may now sell or trade the JL8 due to the astronomical offer I have on it to get a 67 or 69 Yenko camaro depending on what I find. I dont have to but basically in the end I will wind up with a Yenko camaro and an original 10-10 M-22 DZ 302 equipted 69 Z for the price of a new mustang. Maybe the new term should be called "Flipping up".

I was called a flipper by one of our board members on the other site last week. I sold one car in 40 years that I owned less than a year.

Aww cmon. That statement would hold water if you bought the car for $16k and sold it for 18K. But buying the car for what you did and asking 100K and selling it 7-8 months later-That is FLIPPING no if's, and's or but's no matter how hard you try to sugarcoat it.

Kim
It's none of my damn business. I'm just pointing out the hypocrites on this site that rip everyone else but not themselves or other members of this site. I could not let this hypocrisy slide.

Moderators. This will be me last post and I would prefer to be banned please of my own free will and choosing

" Do as I say not as I do" ought to be this sites new slogan.

Will this be kept?
