If identifying value and profiting from it was easy, more people would do it. I think you could write some more on speculating and your thought process and instincts around what you are looking for when hunting for value. I did like how you included some losses with your wins, in terms of speculating. This is important, as people need to understand that there are risks involved.

Any honest full-time dealers want to add how much they actually make? Just can’t imagine any dealer making more than 15,000- 20,000 a year dealing.

I'll also be PTQing this weekend, casting some Emrakul!

We have literally started with a small investment and a dream, its mostly about making wise investments and knowing where to put your assets at what time (aka calling the market). I also comb ebay and other various sites (craigslist is a great tool.) and really theres a great position for profit and margins.

I would answer the questions as I did last week but well as I am writing for QS as well I suppose that would be against the rule 🙂 But again great article, perhaps explaining in a later article on how to get commission work would be great for up and comers.
