One wonders how these flippers continue to dominate CL the way they do.


They are merely being as "economical" as the market will allow.


There used to be a communist on here that railed against all bike flippers that bought bikes at yard sales, estate sales, and the Goodwill shops then sold them on CL for much higher prices. He said those bikes should be sold to poor people. I said the poor people should've gotten themselves up out of bed and hit the bricks same as the flippers if they want a good deal on a bike. But somehow, the idea of somebody actually having to work to get something was a foreign idea.


Don't rail on these flippers that hoover up all the bikes then try to resell them. Admire instead their quickness and willingness to take risks.
