Less than working at McDonalds, probably.

Approach MTG as a way of making money and... you'll have a bad time.

I've made a good amount of money off magic. But i've already more than a full time job.

I'm just being half sarcastic, half curious. I'll try it next year and see if it's worth spending any time on.

Edit: But this would also NOT require being AT McDonalds, so.... Haha.

Thank you in advance MOTL users

it also depends on how youre pricing your cards..like if youre using SCG numbers youre always going to be losing out if you trade down. if you use tcgplayer low or ebay then it makes more sense but even then theres a lot of things to consider, one factor being how much work/effort would it require to liquidate the pile of smaller cards vs a single big card. i think the most important thing mentioned is if you dont like the terms, dont trade with that person...
