I honestly wonder if much of the flipper-hate is sour grapes. The flipper found a car that had room for extra profit if marketed well, and got there and bought it before the enthusiasts found it.

If you are making a living buying and selling cars, you need to be willing to move fast when a profitable opportunity arises, and you need to be good at finding them. BHCC is an example - they find a possible bargain, they jump. Most of the rest of us want to spend a little time deciding whether it's a car we can live with, and so we miss out on the best bargains. And that, I suspect, is where much of the flipper-hate comes from.
