Flipping 8Ns worth it?

[HardLuck7]

Have this 1940 9n runs and drives for $1000 on marketplace for 2 months now. Can’t even get somebody to come see it

Deliver to Lebanon TN ?

I went to look at a local one a few months ago, looked interesting as it looked like good tires, was pretty complete, and was $800. Got there and the tires had been left sitting flat and were cracked wide open, tin was rusty, was a front distributor and engine was stuck. They offered down to $400 pretty quick, but it was bad enough that its Sherman trans was the best part- left it there, moldering into the ground

Worth 6 cents a pound at my local scrap yard and I have to deliver it.

The market for the Ns is dead, very few want them anymore. Only clowns like me.

I did my share of them years ago. But I was doing them nice, Motor, Clutch, brakes, electrical. I'd make sure they had good tires. I went over everything. But nobody wanted to pay for them. Instead of giving me 3500 for what was essentially a good as new 8N, they'd rather pay 2500 for a piece of junk that needed everything and think they won. I gave up. Nobody has any clue how to maintain or repair anything anymore. There is a way of flipping them for your benefit but not for profit. For instance if I have a nice one that needs tires, I watch the auctions and classiifeds and sooner or later I'll find a non runner with good rubber. I swap the tires, get the wreck running and sell it. I don't make any $ on paper but I feed my habit for free.
