I've flipped alot of bikes....alot, and I've always acted like I was some guy looking to sell an old bike. Think garage sale....
Regardless, congrats on your first flip. One of my rules of thumb is to make a $100 on every bike.
I don't plan on making a habit of it, but she knew nothing about bikes and I wanted her to be able to somewhat maintain it and enjoy it. I would hope that someone would do that for my daughter one day if need be. Who knows, maybe it will lead to more word of mouth sales if I turn up any more bikes to flip...
