I do exactly as you do. If I see what I think is a bargain I will buy it and resell it or use it for trade bait. I wish I could say that I only put as much into my collection as I make on flipping cards but that would be a lie. But I do buy/sell/trade/flip a lot. My question to myself is "If I didn't collect would I still buy and sell?"...I am not sure of that answer. I think there are a lot of folks like us...whether they will admit it or not is another thing. I sort of think most will admit it though.....It's not that big of a deal and I think we can still be very passionate collectors even though we also buy and sell. Funny thing...a lot of the real "full time" dealers I talk to say they used to collect but when they went to full time dealing they couldn't collect anymore...it just wouldn't work for them...good question...regards
