It's different than most flippers around here because I'll take chances many won't take and pay more for bikes than many around here will. Most local flippers want to pay near nothing on a cheaper bike, fix it up and sell it fast for a fairly low number. Example...paying $30 for a Raleigh Sports or Schwinn Varsity and selling it for 100-150. A lot of those folks are relying on flips as part of their income. I don't really buy or sell that many bikes and my aims are far more humble (hobby perpetuation). I also have found that I do quite well at t-town and that accounts for a decent percentage of my flips. I have shops who also give people my name when they want to sell bikes after buying a new one. Finally I leave business cards on bikes with my name/number on them if they look like nice bikes not being well cared for. I also think that year number I gave out was more like a year and a half.
