Selling with some regularity gives one an first hand idea of what items are really worth (meaning, what they sell for YOU, not what they sell for Mastro or Lealand) and the practical logistics of selling (time to find a buyer, packing, costs you never thought of, etc). It is a mistake to buy buy buy and never sell anything, as the buy buy buyer often discovers his head was in the clouds when buying. Selling takes your head of the clouds and shows you what YOUR items sell for-- a good thing if you're an active buyer.
Do you know who makes money selling cards and memorabilia? The person who accurately predicts what he will sell things for. And do you know who knows what things sell for? The person who sells.
