I've been a part time dealer for years. The key is math. You have to be able to do it. Understanding and accounting for all costs. Depending on what you sell that will include acquisition costs, grading fees, postage, packing materials, commissions, etc. you also need to maintain records for income and sales tax purposes. If you are serious and not a lawyer or CPA familiar with tax law you wil probably want to schedule an hour with one to go over the tax issues.
There are very few shows in some places so eBay and auctions will be primary outlets for sales. You must understand costs and benefits of each.
Finding raw collections is great. It also doesn't happen much for quality stuff. Lots of shiny crap out there. I'd suggest starting with your own stuff. Sell whatever you don't really want and see how that goes.
