EA tax, margins and what a trade is really worth

The arithmetic that separates a profitable flip from a busy one. Work out your true break-even before you buy, not after you have sold.

Your break-even sell price is not what you paid. It is what you paid divided by 0.95.

Buy at 50,000 and you need 52,632 just to get your coins back. Buy at 500,000 and you need 526,316. The bigger the card, the bigger the gap you have to clear before you have earned anything.

This is why cheap, high-volume flipping beats one expensive punt for most people: on a 5k card you need to clear about 263 coins to break even, and the market moves that much constantly.

Before any buy, do one sum: what does this have to sell for, and does it realistically get there this week? If you cannot answer the second half, it is not a trade, it is a hope.
