I don't think anyone looses in this situation. You buy a bike from someone that does not want it, or who is not willing to put the time/ effort/ expense into it to get what it is "worth". You then increase the value of the bike by putting in your time/ effort/ expense. You sell for a profit. Everyone's happy. Capitalism.
