I htink a lot of you are missing the point..
Is it possible to make a living/decent money selling things (cards)
Yes..very possible as long as you do the research and are willing to put the needed time into it
When I feel like selling on ebay and put the effort in I do well and it is usually more than double of what items cost me.. even after fees etc..remember the buyer pays shipping and quite often the cost of shipping products.. you build the estimated fees into the asking price and your time is what you base your money on
Ill give a real example: I dabble in HOF autos fo rlack of a better word and have a pretty good eye for picking things up..let's say you buy a lot of recent famers at 2-3 dollars a piece.. do a bulk cert on them at a couple bucks a piece ( i send in 100-200 autos at a time to get certed) and then resell at 12-15 each plus shipping.. you have 5 or 6 into them will make about 7.50 per after all fees and can sell them all
Now let's go up one level.. still same price fo rthe auto and the cert..now lets matte it with an 8 x 10 (cheeep at costco etc to print) and sell them unframed but matted nice for 25-30.. you are into eacjh one for about 11 dollars at this point and are making $13 or so per
not that hard..
wanna go up one more. i sell these to a store owner who comes to me to buy them..now I am making $14 (sell for 25) each and i have minimal time expenses
