You should have a definite goal for how many sellers you want to talk to per week, and if you go a week without meeting that goal you should interpret it as a sign that something needs to be fixed.

Unless you live where I live, your local laws and your local court's interpretation of the laws is going to be different from mine.

The situation you're observing is either a fraud against the government, or a very slick interpretation of the rules.

It could have been interpreted either way!

Because any amount you purchase less than you sell is interpreted as taking profit.
