Yup, I've always ended up getting less for my cards then I put out. For all the hype around flipping cards, I think that might be the norm, even if a lot of the most vocal folks have figured out the magic formula to profit.
Speaking of formulas, from what I can tell, you have to:
a) get lucky with a steal of a deal
b) spot something nobody else spots, priced super cheap
c) buy in large lots and then have the overhead to make money off it
d) buy cards which are undervalued, and be patient 'till they become popular enough for you to cash in.
Have I forgotten any?
