This isn't what Marx thought about buying and selling. Buying and selling involves labor like any other work, so of it'd have value according to Marx.
The other points here simply beg the question. It's only in the context of capitalism that carrying personal risk of loss or putting together personal money for productive ventures are valuable economic contributions an individual can make.
