The subway guy can hook you up on a few shares of Subway if you're interested. You can probably make a whole $5 over a year with that smart investment.

Real question:
Can you buy and trade on your own at your free will? Do you have to go through a broker and fees or is there a way to just buy and sell on your own from a home office?

Thanks.

Yes, I'd recommend Robinhood. It's free trades.

Yikes, you're gonna be poor litteraly your whole life.

Robinhood is aight for traditional trading, but it doesn't allow you to open up short, long, or marginal accounts, which potentially provide the most ROI. I guess since @CTC is a dummy, this is a perfect suggestion for him.

He seemed pretty beginner-ish, so I thought Robinhood was a good platform for him to test the waters.

I invest in hockey cards. I go on eBay and look to buy cards at auction that are selling cheap. I then re list them at a higher price and accept offers.

I am on numerous Facebook groups that buy, sell and trade hockey cards. Also I live Kitchener, Ontario where Canada’s largest hockey card store is. The last Saturday of every month they have a traders get together. Usually 15-30 people go who I will trade with. Sometimes buy or sell there too.

The trick is this; new hockey card products come out often. Many collectors like to collect the current rookies. They will buy packs or boxes and open them and hope to get something good. Cards from newer products are always hot and are easy to sell. I will trade those cards that I bought for under market value on eBay and trade them for newer cards.

Another trick is to buy big cards to trade them. Now the profit margin is not usually the best on them because higher end cards are more sought after. So say that their is a card that should sell for $250 but I bought it for $200. Now I will go to trade that card and many people can’t afford to buy that card for $250 but they will trade up for it. They will trade numerous cards (4-10) that total $300.

I started this in 2010. I had hockey cards as a kid and just checked it out again when I was 27. I bought a card at a card store for $10 and sold it for $20. That got me hooked. I then took that $20 and turned it into $30. The profits were just way too slow though. So I went and got a $1,000 credit card and maxed it out. Grew up the inventory and paid the credit card off. Nine years later and I have about $15,000 worth of inventory.

Now I will say that I play about 25-30 rounds of golf a year and all of that money comes out of my hockey card money. That way my wife doesn’t complain that I golf too much. That plus just other spending that I do to have fun come out of that account. My totals could be much higher if I actually only focused on building.

I work a full time job so this is just a hobby.

I think that the difference between me and you guys is that this is just a hobby for me. I do usually $2,000-3,000 a month in sales. Not bad for a hobby. I work a full time job in health care. I make a decent living doing so.
