    Flipping couches for fun and profit

    Keep me updated on your new venture if it pans out. Wife and I are almost debt free and have been thinking of doing something similar. Joe Customer just isn't the same anymore.

    Flipping couches for fun and profit

    I've NEVER been able to sell a ski without a trailer. I have actually pulled a trailer from under one of my personal skis to sell a flip ski. BUT....I always price accordingly. For 5-700 bucks that WaveVenture would need to at least have a good engine and jet pump, and only need fuel system...

    Keihin carb question
