Do you remember about 6 years ago a guy put up a post on Pelican saying he was stocking up on 1972 and 73 911s -- maybe buying 10 of them -- to "pay for his kids' college" and ended up buying 30-40 of them and flipping under multiple names.
That's where I agree with Silber -- be a man. You want to buy the car and do a better job of marketing it, say so. Sellers will still sell under market for an easy no-recourse sale, which is what flippers offer.
