Flipping cases, ebay store, etc

Only way to make money on wax online is to buy directly from the company. Sure, you can make some once in awhile, but long term there just isn't enough wiggle room. Think about it; why would anyone buy from you, an unknown, at a 12% markup (approximate fees) when they could buy from multiple other online retailers at a lower price and free shipping?

I actually reduced my expected price-per-box because of the 'unknown seller' factor. I've decided that it really isn't worth the effort, for me anyway. It'd be too small scale to justify the time and energy required. I think the infusion of Strasburg in all of the 2010 sets (but AFTER pre-sales started) made it look easy.
