We've all heard the stories of the latest and greatest cars getting snapped up seemingly even before the order books go live, only for them to appear for sale online with huge mark ups on them. (For example £240k GT2RS are currently trading for £500k+)

With huge profits to be made for seemingly little work , i'm sure most of us, even though we may not like to admit it, have considered a flip ourselves.

However there still seems to be a bit of a taboo when discussing the subject, with there being little to no discussion online. As Pistonheads is the UK's biggest car forum, surely there are some flippers out there that can regale us with some some interesting stories of their car flipping experiences.

What did you flip? Did you plan on flipping the car or were the values too attractive to ignore? Did you have an expensive fail? etc...

I'd rather this not be a discussion on the ethics of car flipping, but more about the stories and experiences of people have have/do so...
