Sorry I am not up on the rules for when selling is OK and when it isn't. If you buy cards, give the money to charity, or buy a keg of beer that is your own choice. As to the original question, sure it can be done otherwise there wouldn't be full time dealers. However like any opportunity it takes work and knowledge otherwise it wouldn't be profitable.

my view is that there are probably more people who buy AND sell than just buy. Whether that's flipping or what, it's a matter of semantics. I've bought lots to pull a couple cards and resell and I've bought lots to sell all the cards in the lot. I'm not a full time dealer but it certainly frees up capital to buy more stuff I want for myself. There's nothing wrong with that but as someone said earlier, you gotta be ready to take a bath on something you buy if you don't really know what you're buying and times change, so holding onto something has risk too.

Isn't there a board member on here that has a blog about his quest to flip his way to a T206 Honus Wagner?

I flipped some new stuff for some old stuff..came out like a bandit. Flipped some old stuff for some new stuff...exact opposite. I tend to be too nice. If I get a good deal, I don't normally maximize my return...I end up helping someone out.
