I found very interesting that you did not mention online arbitrage, which is very common nowadays. Any particular reason? cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174132846110277543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471471289744825428.post-49557171583553037582009-10-21T22:52:53.785-07:002009-10-21T22:52:53.785-07:00It turns out that the price arbitrage is quite com...It turns out that the price arbitrage is quite complex and hard to manipulate properly.

It is true that you cannot buy a car and immediately turn it in, but I can't tell from the FAQ if the person buying the new car has to be the same as the person owning the clunker.
