Of course, and the shipping cost as well.


I mean assuming you ever declare profits or losses re cards on your tax return.
And yes, I do pay Federal & Virginia income taxes on my bb card profits (doesn't everyone?). For this reason, I much prefer to trade, rather than sell, cards that I acquired 10 - 20 years ago, so as to defer the income taxes.
