[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3058415, member: 36230"]I'm going to lay this out in a way that usually causes more upset than good, at least for folks refusing to see it for what it is. You're clearly new to this and are here asking very basic questions, yet apparently think making money off this hobby a cake job. Do you honestly not see any problem with this?
