    I have no desire to become a breaker, but you gave out a lot of good information! From getting your tax ID, to purchasing all the el gato equipment, everything you laid out was clear and consise. Good luck with the first break!

For now I plan on just receiving payments through PayPal since I won’t have the product/income to make a store/business etc due to college and not having a job atm. Only question I have is what are your rules/policies? I’ve made a list but I’m sure I’m forgetting something

    Excellent video. I plan to look around, but I'm looking for info on how they decide the prices to charge for teams. I know on release day, most will do randoms until the checklist comes out. I know I can simply go to a break site and copy their prices, but I find it hard to price older product that I can't compare to other sites. Any advice would help!!

    Great video. Thank you very much for sharing. I looked into this years ago and it isn't for me. I get asked all time from new members, "How do I become a breaker?" I'll be sharing this video. Great job on the TikTok channel too. Do you see much cross over from TikTok customers to youtube subscribers? What is the motivation to be a breaker? Is it money? Is it addiction to rip wax? Great info on getting access to a dist. Are they the only resource you are using to get products? Do you buy online too? Are you flipping retail? What is your plan to get allocation of products? I suggest buying direct products when you can like FOTL, Elite Basketball (Friday) Topps T206? Are you in Facebook groups for dealers and store owners? Breaking is very competitive. You mention a few breakers were helpful sharing information. Did you find some where protective of their business? Have you looked into Facebook breaks? Lots of Facebook breaks with great infrastructure. Instagram doesn't seem as secure and open to more fraud IMO. You ever hear of Breaker.Tv? It was before Twitch, I think. Why did you spend so much on the 2nd camera? Have you looked at using eBay to sell teams and fill breaks? You can build customers too. Did you check out BreakerCulture? They have years of resources on breaking and how to be breaker. I wish you the best and look forward to breaking with you in the future. Thank you for your time.

    This was great info as you I saw a video and I was hooked. To something that I would like to do. Being a disable veteran . It will be kinda tricky to remember as had died for over 10 mins but if my own doing as it was from something beyond my circumstance. Etc etc etc . But anyways I hope to try and get it up and going. And hopefully I can do. And I am giving my self so many weeks per a episode and total of 9 months to research. Develop. & Put into motion a plan to succeed. And tada giving me the best way to attack and enjoy than to fall and give up. So best of luck moving forward to you. And maybe hopefully teaching this 60 year old vet. That I can pay it forward like you have inspired me sincerely. R.c.

    Hey I know this is beyond late for a comment as it was posted over 2 years ago. But I’m going to go through the rest of your videos to see if you’ve put out anything to answer my question. I’ve been in the card business for a while now but I just now recently got my ROI in a position to where I can do some really fun breaks!! However I’ve never done a streaming break, any time I’ve done a break everyone that was involved was in the shop or wherever we were gathering for the event. I want to start going live and be able to keep the videos on KZread. I need to figure out exactly what all I need to get started doing live breaks…and it actually look like it’s being professionally done. I can’t pull off what you have for a setup. It’s just not in the budget right now. There has to be a cheaper and easier way to do it and look good. Right now, all I have is my laptop and my iPhone. Help me please.
