Is my hustle viable?

Anything considered a "hustle" and not necessarily a CENTS-based Fastlane

For the last few months, I've somewhat running a small hustle.

Put simply: I'm buying a collection of a trading card game and sell them seperately for a profit.

I'm buying the collections on Craigslist or eBay, sort them and sell the most expensive things seperately on a special site (pay 5% fee).

It is not really remarkable, in May, I've made around 700€, in June, around 850€, for July, I'm on track for 900€ too. Right now, I also have a lot of inventory I could possibly sell, but is stuck at my home and binding money. he problem is, I have to buy product on the secondary market, and when there are no good deals, I won't get new stuff, and being dependent on others is quite a bad idea.

I'm wondering, if it is an idea to work more on, like putting on an own shop to save the fee.

Greetings
Joe

For side cash, sure. I had a friend who paid her way through college selling off her Magic collection. But a fastlane company? Doubtful.

There are plenty of sites dedicated to selling individuals, bundles, "mystery bags!", and whole collections. Just search "buy Magic cards", "buy Pokemon cards" and you'll find dozens of websites.
