Yeah, but you and I are rather in between, which may work out well for us. We're halfway between the boonies and the big city. I've thought of driving to the Poconos to buy and to Manhattan or Brooklyn to sell. It would definitely net a profit, but I'm not sure it would be high enough to make it worthwhile. I did drive to Hartford, CT once and brought back 7 bikes. I made a profit on all of them, but it was a long, hard day of driving. And I sold them here.
I once called one of the big NYC flippers on the phone. His time is very structured. I think it's his full time occupation. His Sundays are for deliveries. He has a van. I think he has buying days of the week, too, and I guess the rest of his days are for fixing and advertising. I caught him while driving, and he barely had a minute to talk to me.
