Nice flip

[Mike Magee]

The first seller received what he considered to be a fair amount, the amount he wanted. He was not cheated.

If a person knows where to obtain an item and resell it for a profit, he has done a service to both the original seller and the new buyer. Moreover, he bore financial risk (it could have had a cracked frame or other problem that he failed to detect, or it could have tied up his investment for months before another buyer came along) for which he was compensated. This is the core of capitalism. If the act were unethical, then every real estate broker, store, and sales business is unethical.

Mike G., I agree. When I bought my Boler, I knew just enough to THINK I was getting a good deal, but now I realize how lucky I was that it didn't have other serious problems. I didn't know how much I didn't know.

Buy low.
Sell high.
Nothin' wrong with that!
