She also flipped a Specialized, $5 for $130 with $45 upgrades. I have fun helping her
The Raleigh Sports we got for $10 is going to be her college bike, she said she'd never sell it.
How about a Schwinn Tempo? 105 drive-train and the crazy fade paint. She can get it for $100?
At that price, Tempo would be a great flip in just about ANY market in the US, assuming it is not beat.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
