Admittedly, most people tend not to advertise that they're flipping.
I did a lot of my selling on boards where I'd been a member for a long time, and I was generally pretty honest about it. Other times I would actually keep the cars for a few months (dealer plate, so no care), and then I would just say "bored with it", which was at least half true.
After awhile, people just start to realize that you're flipping, but as long as you haven't sold POS cars and pissed anyone off, and if your prices are fair, no one cares.
Actually, LOL, check this out. This is the FIRST car I ever flipped. MX-6 that I bought for $300 and sold for $1k on eBay to some guy. Apparently I listed it here:

To those who know my NICO username, search my Classifieds threads with no date limit. You'll see a period where I moved quite a few cars (only a fraction of what was on Craigslist). Never had one complaint. I was openly bragging about having gotten stuff dirt cheap in some threads, but as long as my end price was reasonable, no one gave a shit.
