I have flipped some bikes. Some bikes I flipped were purchased explicitily just for flipping. I bought them cheap, fixed and cleaned them up, and then sold them for a profit. The buyers were happy with the deal and I was happy to make money that I used to buy other bike stuff.
Others that I have sold were bikes I had that got replaced by something I wanted more.
