My biggest problem with flipping is that I never complete the second end of the flip. I just can't let go of what I buy...

I don't see anything wrong with flipping in general but what bugs me is when people put buy ads in the BST trying to buy cards and then flipping them.

Why?

Because a lot of time the good guys on this board will provide a good guy discount to the buyer because they think they may be helping someone with their hobby collection (for example, finishing a set or subset). In those cases it just bugs me if someone puts out the buy ad just to try and pick up a card cheap to flip it. I figure if you're going to put in a buy request you could tell the seller your intentions, that way the seller may not feel like an idiot later on when the seller sees that their good deed (giving a discount to a board member) netted someone a nice profit.
