Sell the teams for more than you paid for the boxes + shipping. If you do this you'll make a profit.

Try asking some of the established breakers in the group break section.

Expect to receive some nice messages here

Don't forget to factor in fees and taxes. Seems like a bad idea to me unless you have crazy volume. Lots of inventory risk.

unless you have A LOT of money and inventory access, you are probably too late.

you are going to have to do something to take the money away from the established breakers.

Don’t waste your time there are too many breakers.

Now what sort of brilliant inspiration spurred you to explore this option? Unless you have allocations or a side deal with the big 3, you're gona lose money. Only the top-tier breakers or YTbers with enough subscribers are making money from breaking these days. Word of advice: don't quit your day job and stick to selling singles on ebay

What the old joke?

You know how you make a small fortune in the restaurant business? Start with a large one.

Probably missed the window by a decade.

In short, profitable breakers are making money from YouTube not from breaking.

And this year, the tax man will know all of your transactions. So anyone who's not making bank as a breaker might be getting out.

Nothing personal, but you will not make money if you’re just getting into this now.

The only people making money doing this are established, have some sort of back door deals or have incredible knowledge of the industry and incredible work ethic.

Any job you can get paying minimum wage would be better than getting into this now unless you fit one of the above.

Hop in a time machine and type in February 4th, 2012. When you get there, I'm gonna need you to put in a 250k bet on the Giants money line in the Super Bowl. I'll PM you the wire info. Once you take care of that, you're gonna want to move to Cape May, NJ for awhile. Find a man named "Rich Layton" and let him know you are interested in group breaking and are looking for a business partner. You should have about 550k give or take after our Super Bowl win. Keep 50k or so for your living expenses. Tell Rich you want to invest 500k and you'll be the majority owner, but he can name the business. He'll likely take it. I trust that the rest will take care of itself.

NOW, when you get back to 2022 I'm gonna need you to PM me here. I'll ask for my original 250K back +1 million ROI. So 1.25 million total. I won't be greedy, plus it's risky to time travel so you will have earned the rest. You'll be richer than me, but I'll be glad to have helped.

We'll talk soon.

I love this! Perhaps $1,000 in 2012 Bitcoin is a better ROI for you
