If you feel you bought the card for less than the card will realize again, with the fees taken into account, why not? It is not as easy as one would think to continually guess correctly with so little time in between.

If you buy at Auction House 1, you are paying more than anyone else was willing to pay. Than you paid 19.5 or something percent on top of that, and maybe tax, and then you paid (probably shipping). Then you pack it up, pay shipping again, send off to Auction House 2, and then pay another commission for the privilege of them reselling it. I guess I can imagine this working in some situations but not consistently. If you held the card for a year or so I could see it working a lot more often. Transaction costs are just too significant.
