Just wondering what people are seeing out there right now.
I'm not a big time flipper but I have sold a few bikes here and there. I do it more as a hobby, giving myself something to do when it's raining or during the dark and cold winter months, and I enjoy keeping a bicycle on the road. I try to "make" a certain amount on a bike - but I tell people if I actually paid myself for labor I'd lose money on every bike I sell.
I have had a couple of bikes for sale recently and not only have they not sold but there has been near zero interest - something that wouldn't have happened even a couple of months ago. I guess this was to be expected because a) shops and stores in my area have been getting bikes in again, b) the general riding season is almost over (in the NE) and c) maybe the Covid bike boom is coming to an end (?)

Same for me in southwest Florida.
