[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1771532, member: 17555"]I agree money can be made from the hobby, but also agree that it is a horrible space to attempt to invest. In your example, buy at 1k and sell at 1.2k,, consider fees on ebay (which is probably the cheapest place to sell other than hand to hand). 10% hammer fee on 1.2k = 120 ~5% paypal fee on 1.2k = 60 Shipping = 10 (packing, tracking, postage, gas to and from post office) .... that's about 190 in fees to sell.... so your 1k invested realized around $10 even with a 20% increase. And any coin increasing that much in that amount of time is a rarity rather than anything close to the norm.... even with homework applied. As has been stated, you need around 30% gain just to start thinking about it. or Become a dealer, jump in with 100k to 1M.... buy a ton of stuff and turn it FAST for low margin and rinse and repeat asap, evey week, all year.... some folks have done very very well turning lots of lil'bitty $10 profits into nice annualized returns.[/QUOTE]
