My first time contributing, but I've been lurking for a while now.
This really sickens me. One of these days, I'll be faced with having to =
sell my 67 BJ8. I hate to think a "flipper" would end up with it.
This list is superb- what a wealth of knowledge.
Kind Regards,
Tom

Didn't we hear on the list several weeks ago of this same thing =
happening? The prospective buyer represented himself as an individual =
who was interested in buying a Healey for his own use, but actually was =
working for a dealer and trying to beat the bushes for cars to buy for =
resale.
I had a phone conversation recently with a BJ8 owner who had decided to =
sell his car, but only to someone who would appreciate and enjoy the =
car as he had done. Shortly after selling to an individual who he =
thought met his requirements, he learned that the buyer was only a =
flipper and the car was on eBay within a few days of the sale.
