Anyone else here flip a few bikes a year? Has anyone noticed the asking prices this year? It's crazy. Everyone thinks they are sitting on a gold mine. Haven't seen this in a long time. I usually pick up 3 or 4 bikes over the winter for quick flips in the spring but this winter, it's different. I spend a lot of time on CL looking. Not only are people asking crazy prices but the inventory is down also.

I usually work in the mid to lower range price bikes. Not fussy about the make as long as it is a decent machine and there's a few bucks to made on it with a little work done to them. Heck, I can't even find bikes to restore. I'm down to 2 restos for this year and will be in panic mode if don't have anymore to work on when I am not riding.

There wasn't very much in late fall either. But now, right now, is when I have always seemed to score a few bikes. Not this year. I have only managed to pick up a one owner, 2002 HD Ultra Classic with low miles and in mint condition so that's better than nothing. It's been nice flipping all these years as it pays for all the bikes and goodies for the bikes in the stable and also pays for the resto bikes and other toys without using any house money.

Oh well. Guess I just have to have a little more patience.
