The irony being...if people didn't flip stuff, you'd find more deals. Right now, a good deal will quickly be snatched up by either someone who actually wants it or by someone looking to make a buck which drives the sweet spot of market value up in general because there is a larger market at the lower prices.

How is any of that a bad thing?

If I can find a piece that is sitting on a shelf somewhere or an add not getting any attention as it’s poorly photographed or some other reason. And I can turn around, get it for a lower price, take it home, clean it up, enjoy it for a week or two and then put it up where I know I can sell it quicker and in doing so make a few dollars off of it. Then so be it. I found the deal and invest time and money to put it to perhaps a new owner that will be happy to have it at a fair price. Really, if I get a deal and can make some money reselling it how is this a bad thing? If someone else wanted the deal they should have got there first.

If the seller is happy with his payment. Win number 1.
If I get to play hobby bass tech and get paid for some enjoyable education... (my time ain’t free)
Win number 2.
If I find the right home for that piece by means of better advertisement and perhaps refurbishment if needed and the buyer is then happy and has their GAS satisfied then....
Win number 3.

The idea of hating people that make money doing what they enjoy is fricken ridiculous.
