If you enter into a card transaction to generate a profit, your time in finding, acquiring, and selling the cards have to be factored into the equation. Similarly, the time researching and studying the hobby are relevant in assessing whether you are operating profitably.

There is a fine line between bilking little old ladies and generating a reasonable profit. Some feel that because in some transactions you lose money, the way to offset this factor is to maximize your profit when you can.

I resolve this status by not buying cards for resale. But I recognize that others do (otherwise where would I buy cards?). It is interesting how this post is viewed by everyone. Thank you, Joann.
