Very interesting topic! I hope to see a bunch of responses. This seems to be the common dilemma among us car nuts... build them up, enjoy until the new wears off, look towards the next project. How does the average guy survive?
A couple thoughts I have strictly as a hobbiest...
If you are doing most of the actual physical work yourself, and you're doing it for the enjoyment. That is your payment. The best you can hope for when you flip is to maybe break even on parts money spent...if lucky.
I've never sold a car at auction (other than ebay). It is my opinion from watching them on TV, that is a last resort. You have decided you cannot sell it any other way and you will take whatever you get and move on...
