This is EXACTLY what I am thinking during ANY discussion such as this one here.? I can't speak for everyone or even ANYONE here for that matter.. BUT I'd say that my personal free time is definitely worth SOMETHING!?$$ ( Perhaps more than I make at my day job actually!, Since it seems the spare time hours are much less readily available in most cases, compared to MANY HRS spent at day job ) So unless mistaken here, I'd bet even if a bike flipper put a factor of only $30-$40/ Hr. labor rate on their flip projects, that "PROFIT" after all is said and done/ accounted for $$$ expenses,
is MINISCULE at best..
