In a few situations, the term "shameless flipping" would apply. This is the situation as I understand it:
I spoke to a gentleman that had sold a BMX bike. He had someone contact him about his bike. The prospective buyer claimed that he had a bike just like it when he was a kid. He pleaded with the seller to sell him the bike at a reduced price. Relunctantly the owner agreed, but he was satisfied to help someone in need. Within days, the buyer had the bike disassembled and for sale on ebay. Sadly, shameless flippers will scam kind-hearted sellers in hopes of turning a buck.
