(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) flippers!! its the nature of the market now that our cars are worth something unfortunately - feel bad for the guy that sold it cheap to the first person to walk in with cash in hand- he could have sold it for 2x that and it would have gone to a good home

You never know what the situation was. Maybe the guy was thrilled to death because he had cash in hand when he needed it vs waiting for ppi’s, funds to become available, killing days with flakey buyers. People spit out the word “flipper” because they don’t want to compete with a super motivated buyer who knows how to spot or develops a good deal. If someone buys a car, holds it for 20 years and sells for a profit, it’s called being a wise (or lucky) investor. If they buy and sell quickly, somehow it’s being evil. Flippers don’t call you the next day demanding their money back because they can’t get the car started or it needs a brake job. People get mad at flippers because they only see the good deals. They dont see the time or legwork it takes to get the deals. People want the deal but they want to find it on eBay. Ask Adam how much work it takes before he can load up all the cars on the truck and take a picture. Most buyers want easy. It’s exactly the same in real estate. Buyers want the fixed up house at fixer-up prices. They want home inspections and financing, not as-is, cash sales. We sell quite a few cars to wholesalers because we want a fast easy sale. Money is left on the table but sometimes that’s not the priority. You can thank all the flippers who find the long forgotten cars and bring them to market. Most of them would never make it out of the garage or shed if there weren’t flippers taking the initiative to find the deals.

I don't disagree with you, all good points, I am not necessarily hating on all the flippers, - free market economy- I do feel that some really take advantage of those that don't know what they have - I really didn't ever think of Adam as a flipper really. He is a Porsche owner, he is saving stuff that's just rusting away , getting out of the field or barn and into the hands of someone that will save and preserve it! . The guys that are just out there to make a quick buck and take advantage, that I have a issue with. I have had opportunity and could have had stuff that I could have paid way less than I did, but I just cant do that. We need more guys like Adam!
