I can't pass up a thread on bike flipping. I haven't had the highly profitible turnovers as mentioned before, but I've been able to obtain and turnover about 40 bikes in the last 2 years. The best buys are in the pics below: a blue, 93 Fuji road bike, paid 10 + 30 in parts, sold for $125. Next is a Gary Fisher Tassahara, paid 40, add 10 in parts, sold for 120. My favorite is the Trek 720 Hybrid paid $5, add 5 for parts, sold for $80. I know my selling prices are low, but I'm not in this for the money. Partly I do it for fun and partly to help others become more involved in cycling.
Oh, the white Cannondale in the pics costs $40 at a garage sale. No way I would flip it, it's my ATF roadie, hey I gotta have some fun out of this!
