Well, I have sold 5 vintage bikes so far. The bikes sold for decent prices - but despite that I barely broke even in each case. Does that make me a flipper? I don't think so, as I'm pretty sure flipping assumes profit as a motive. I am curious to learn about vintage bikes, and plan to keep buying different ones. Some I will end up loving and keeping, others I will learn are not for me and will re-sell. Even if I do that to dozens of bikes over the years, I still do not see it as flipping unless the initial goal was to sell for profit. (Not that there is anything wrong with that either!)
