50 to 700 in 4 Days (1,300 percent ROI)
https://youtube.com/shorts/WtHrw7oJULI
He said no twice.
First time. No.
Second time. No.
Then he brought it to my door.
A Scott mountain bike. High end. Full suspension. Carbon frame.
Retail new? Three to four thousand dollars.
Used value? Seven hundred to one thousand two hundred dollars depending on condition.
I paid fifty dollars.
I sold it for seven hundred dollars four days later.
One thousand three hundred percent return on investment.
No repairs. No work. No debt. No leverage.
Here is exactly how it happened.
The Seller Who Said No
I found this Scott mountain bike on Facebook Marketplace.
The listing was simple. Scott mountain bike. Needs gone. Make offer.
I sent my standard offer. Fifty dollars cash. I can come today.
He replied. No. Too low.
I waited three days.
I sent the same message again. Still have the Scott? I have fifty dollars cash. I can come today.
He replied. No. Still too low.
Most people would give up after two nos.
I am not most people.
I waited one more week.
Then I sent a different message.
The Message That Worked
Here is the message I sent.
Hey. I know you said no twice. But I am going to ask one more time. I flip bikes locally. I have fifty dollars cash. I can come to you today. The bike has been sitting for weeks. You want it gone. I am the easiest person you will deal with. Let me take it off your hands.
Why this works.
One. I acknowledge he said no twice. I am not ignoring his previous answers.
Two. I show persistence without being annoying. I am asking one more time.
Three. I remind him the bike has been sitting for weeks. Time is not helping him.
Four. I offer convenience. I can come to you today.
Five. I position myself as the solution. I am the easiest person you will deal with.
He replied in ten minutes.
Seller. Fine. Come get it. Fifty dollars. Bring cash.
Me. Send your address. I will be there in one hour.
The Drive To His House
I drove to his house. It was a working class neighborhood. Modest but well kept.
The seller was a guy in his thirties. He was not angry. He was just tired of dealing with the bike.
He pulled the Scott out of his garage.
I could not believe my eyes.
Full carbon frame.
Full suspension front and back.
High end components.
Disc brakes.
Quality wheels.
This was a four thousand dollar mountain bike when it was new.
I asked him why he was selling it.
He said. I bought it during COVID. Thought I would get into mountain biking. Rode it three times. Almost crashed. Scared myself. Never rode it again. Now it just sits there.
I handed him fifty dollars.
He handed me the bike.
He said. I probably could have gotten more. But I am just glad it is gone.
I loaded it into my truck and drove home.
The Inspection
I got the bike home and inspected it carefully.
Here is what I found.
Brand. Scott. High end Swiss brand. Respected in the mountain biking world.
Frame. Full carbon. Lightweight. Strong. No cracks. No dents. Just dust and a few minor scuffs.
Suspension. Front and rear. Both worked perfectly. No leaks. No weird noises.
Components. High end. Shimano or SRAM. Shifted smooth. Brakes were strong.
Wheels. Quality wheels. Straight. True. Tires had full tread. Almost new.
Condition. Like new. The seller rode it three times. That was it. The bike was dirty from sitting in a garage. But mechanically, it was perfect.
This bike was easily worth seven hundred to one thousand dollars to the right buyer.
I paid fifty dollars.
The Cleaning
This bike did not need repairs. It needed cleaning.
I spent forty five minutes on it.
I washed the carbon frame with soap and water.
I cleaned the suspension forks.
I degreased the chain.
I lubed the chain.
I cleaned the disc brakes.
I wiped down every surface.
I inflated the tires.
The bike looked like it just came out of a shop.
I took 18 photos in my driveway during golden hour. I made sure to get clear shots of the carbon frame, the full suspension, the brand name, and the components.
I wrote a listing that would attract serious mountain bikers.
The Listing
Title. Scott Full Carbon Full Suspension Mountain Bike Like New. 700 Firm.
Price. 700 dollars firm.
Description.
Selling this Scott full carbon full suspension mountain bike. High end Swiss brand. Lightweight. Strong. Fast.
The original owner bought this bike during COVID. Rode it three times. Decided mountain biking was not for him. The bike has been sitting in a garage ever since.
No cracks. No dents. No damage. Just minor scuffs from storage.
Suspension works perfectly. Shifts smooth. Brakes strong. Tires have full tread.
This bike retailed for over 3,500 dollars new. You are getting a deal at 700 dollars.
Full carbon frame alone is worth more than my asking price.
Price is 700 dollars firm. Cash only. Pick up in my city. First come first served.
Serious buyers only. Send me a message if you want to see it.
The Response
I posted the listing on Facebook Marketplace and in local mountain biking groups.
Within 3 hours, I had 12 messages.
Mountain bikers know Scott. They know carbon. They know full suspension. They know a deal when they see one.
Most of the messages were the same. Is this still available? Yes. Will you take 600? No. Will you take 650? No.
On day two, a serious buyer messaged me.
Buyer. I have been looking for a Scott carbon bike for a year. Is the frame truly crack free?
Me. Yes. No cracks. You can inspect it yourself.
Buyer. Can I see it tomorrow at 3 PM?
Me. Yes. Cash only. 700 dollars firm.
Buyer. I will bring cash.
The Sale
Day three. The buyer showed up. He was a serious mountain biker. Late twenties. He knew exactly what he was looking at.
He inspected the frame for ten minutes. He ran his fingers along every tube. He checked the suspension. He spun the wheels. He tested the shifters.
He looked at me and said.
This bike has been ridden maybe five times. The tires still have the nipples.
I said. Yep. The owner bought it during COVID and barely used it.
He handed me 700 dollars cash.
I handed him the bike.
He loaded it into his car and drove away smiling.
Total time from purchase to sale? 4 days.
The Math
Purchase price. 50 dollars.
Sale price. 700 dollars.
Profit. 650 dollars.
Time held. 4 days.
Return on investment. 1,300 percent.
Let me say that again.
One thousand three hundred percent return in 4 days.
No repairs. No work. No debt. No leverage.
Just persistence and a system.
The Power Of Saying No Yourself
Most people hear no from a seller and move on.
They are afraid to ask again.
They think no means never.
No does not mean never. No means not right now.
This seller said no twice.
I asked a third time with a different approach. He said yes.
Here is the rule I follow.
Ask once. Get a no. Wait a few days. Ask again with the same offer. Get another no. Wait a week. Ask again with a different message.
Three asks. That is it.
If they say no three times, they are not motivated enough. Move on.
But most sellers say yes by the second or third ask.
They just need time to realize that no one else is coming with a better offer.
You are the only person messaging them with cash in hand.
That is your power.
Compare That To The Copycats
Other bike channels and influencers are out there right now.
They watch my videos. They read my blogs. They copy my scripts.
Then they go find a bike. They pay 200 dollars for it. They clean it. They sell it for 260 dollars.
They make a video celebrating their 30 percent return.
Thirty percent.
And their viewers think that is good.
Let me be clear.
Thirty percent is not good. It is average. It is what anyone can do without a system.
On this deal, I made 1,300 percent.
That is 43 times higher than their best day.
Why?
Because they have pieces of the puzzle. They have parts of the system. They have some of the scripts.
But they do not have the full recipe.
They do not know how to handle rejection.
They do not know how to follow up with sellers who say no.
They do not know how to find high end brands that normal people undervalue.
They do not know how to inspect for carbon cracks.
They do not know how to price high end mountain bikes for fast sales.
They are guessing.
I am not guessing. I have a system.
I am the original OG. I have been doing this since before they knew what a carbon frame was.
This is my recipe.
They can copy my words. They cannot copy my experience.
Compare That To Other Side Hustles
Let me put this 1,300 percent return in perspective.
Uber.
You drive your car for 4 days. You put 100 dollars of gas in your tank. You add 300 miles to your odometer. You make 200 dollars before expenses. After expenses, you make 100 dollars. And your car is worth less than when you started.
DoorDash.
Same thing. You destroy your car. You deal with rude customers. You wait 20 minutes for orders that pay 7 dollars.
Dropshipping.
You spend 200 dollars on ads. You get 6 sales. You make 60 dollars profit. Then 2 customers email you asking where their orders are. Then one files a chargeback. Then you lose money.
Crypto.
You buy 50 dollars of Bitcoin. You watch it go to 60 dollars. You get excited. You buy more. It drops to 40 dollars. You panic. You sell. You lost money. Or you hold and pray. That is not a business. That is gambling.
Bike Flipping.
You find a frustrated seller. You ask three times. He finally says yes. You pay 50 dollars cash. You clean the bike for 45 minutes. You take photos. You write a listing. You sell it for 700 dollars 4 days later. You make 650 dollars profit.
No car damage. No rude customers. No chargebacks. No gambling.
Just a system and persistence.
The System Copy And Paste
You want to find your own Scott mountain bike deal? Here is the system.
Step 1. Target High End Mountain Bike Brands
These bikes are expensive new. Used, they sell for 500 to 1,500 dollars. But sellers often list them for 100 to 300 dollars because they do not know the value.
Target these brands.
Scott
Santa Cruz
Yeti
Pivot
Intense
Evil
Ibis
Rocky Mountain
Norco
Kona
Step 2. Search For These Keywords
Mountain bike
Full suspension
Carbon frame
Scott bike
Trail bike
Rode twice
Garage kept
Step 3. Send The First Offer
Hey. I see you have a Scott mountain bike. I flip bikes locally. I have 50 dollars cash right now. I can come to you today. Let me know.
Step 4. Handle The No
If they say no, wait three days. Send the same message again.
If they say no again, wait one week. Send this message.
Hey. I know you said no before. But I am going to ask one more time. I have 50 dollars cash. I can come to you today. The bike has been sitting. You want it gone. I am the easiest person you will deal with. Let me take it off your hands.
Step 5. Inspect For Carbon Cracks
When you go to buy the bike, bring a flashlight. Shine it on the frame. Look for spiderweb cracks. Run your fingers along the tubes. Cracks feel different.
No cracks? Buy it.
Cracks? Walk away.
Step 6. Clean And List Fast
Same day cleaning. Same day photos. Same day listing.
Price at 60 to 70 percent of market value for a fast sale.
A 1,000 dollar Scott listed at 700 dollars sells in days.
A 1,000 dollar Scott listed at 900 dollars sells in weeks or months.
Choose speed.
The Real Estate Connection
Here is what most people miss.
Real estate has the same dynamic with persistence.
A wholesaler calls a homeowner. The homeowner says no.
The wholesaler calls again next month. No.
The wholesaler calls again next quarter. The homeowner is now ready to sell.
Persistence wins.
Most people give up after one no.
The people who make money in real estate ask again. And again. And again.
The skills are the same.
Handling rejection.
Following up.
Staying top of mind.
Being the easiest person to say yes to.
You cannot learn house flipping with a 200,000 dollar mistake.
You can learn bike flipping with a 50 dollar mistake.
Make your mistakes on bikes. Build your system. Build your capital. Build your persistence.
Then apply it to real estate.
That is exactly what I teach atTheNewFlip.com.

Final Word
He said no twice.
First time. No.
Second time. No.
I asked one more time with a different message.
He said yes.
He brought a Scott full carbon full suspension mountain bike to my door.
I paid him 50 dollars.
I cleaned it. I listed it. I sold it for 700 dollars four days later.
One thousand three hundred percent return on investment.
No repairs. No work. No debt. No leverage.
Other bike channels copy me. They get 10 to 30 percent returns and celebrate.
I get 1,300 percent returns and keep working.
Because I have the full recipe. Not pieces. Not guesses. Not luck.
A copy and paste system that works even when the seller says no twice.
I am the original OG. This is the recipe.
Go get it atTheNewFlip.com.
P.S. The next time a seller says no to you, do not walk away. Wait three days. Ask again. Wait one week. Ask again with a different message. Most people give up after one no. That is why most people never make real money. Be the person who asks again. That person gets the deal. That person makes 1,300 percent returns. That person is you.
