If you want to be a capitalist, that's great. Using a comminuty forum and taking advantage of the good nature of the site owner is the not-so-great part.
It is two different things if someone is professionally buying and reselling cars and using Pelican to that end.

On the flipside (pun intended), sometimes you come across a deal and while it isn't really what you are looking for, you buy it and immediately resell it because you can make a little profit.

I consider the latter a single flip. The former is being a flipper. They are two different things. And the dirtiest of flippers are the ones who lie about their agenda to make a deal. Those are the ones I despise. Otherwise I don't fault a guy for finding a deal and cashing out on it once in a while. That's not being a flipper in my book.
