I'm wondering if the low-end flipping market might suddenly turn good for sellers, if travel gets restricted. I'm saturated with low-end-but-decent bikes, most of which I don't particularly want, but I'm hoping to get some parts-bin-builds done so I can sell them to would-be motorists when/if road travel is restricted. Generally cyclists have been left alone when we've had these restrictions in the past.

If a restriction never comes to pass (let's hope it doesn't get that bad), then I'll hold onto them until September and sell them to returning undergrads.
