I'm not really a flipper but occasionally sell and when I buy I almost always have resale value in mind.
I get absurdly attached to my bikes, which is why I have so dang many of 'em. I just sold one of my old carbon frames on eBay and the buyer sent me back a pic with it built up. Made me feel good. Likewise I sent a pic of my refurbed De Rosa to the original owner I bought it from and he sent a very nice, heartfelt message back telling me how glad he is that it's in good hands. Makes me feel good about our sport/hobby.

I'm selling a frame now that I never even built up because it's too big but dang I like it and it's sat in my closet for about 6 months while I decided what to do.
