A really good flipper will only have the game in his garage for 1 hour, maybe overnight. Selling it for a profit. Of course he/she would do the same to profit from their own mother.
2) He has to sell it quickly, having it folded up for 6 months with out advertising it, is not the correct method of flipping pins.
Quoted from cottonm4:Ok. If I understand you correctly, if he does not turn the pin immediately and sits on it for some time then he is not a flipper? Even if he just brings it home and does nothing to it and then sells it some time later he does not qualify as a flipper? Is this what you are saying? That time is the only difference? A 24 hour turn makes a flipper and couple of months does not?
In general, a flipper will buy something then sell it quickly for a profit. Cars, pins, even homes. 'Quickly' is the key word. Flipping is something they do everyday as an income source. A hobbyist might still buy and re-sell, but usually not flipping games quickly.
