Packman's frustration mainly came from running a very expensive break that wasn’t filling and feeling like the room wasn’t buying in fast enough.

More specifically:

  • He had a huge, high‑end break live (mentions of 80+ boxes, total value in the tens of thousands, with ultra‑expensive player spots like a Cooper Flagg slot priced around tens of thousands of dollars).

  • After roughly two hours live on Whatnot, he’d only gotten a handful of offers and the break still wasn’t close to full, which he called “crazy” and “nuts.”

  • Viewers in chat were posting that they were broke or that prices were too high, and some were quoting or joking about low comps, which he saw as “fogging” the chat and hurting sales.

  • He believed the break was a strong opportunity (“free money,” “bound to hit Curry”–type language) and got visibly upset that people weren’t jumping in at the price levels he’d set.

All of that—slow sales on a huge, risky break, pushback from chat on value, and the pressure of possibly losing money on unsold spots—boiled over into the rant that’s now circulating.

 

 

What he said afterward

  • He posted a response on Instagram (shared and discussed on X and in hobby videos) where he said some of the viral comments were taken “out of context,” but also admitted he was frustrated and that they were “doing too much.”

  • In that response, he acknowledged he should not have said things like “guarantee” about returns on a risky break and that he shouldn’t pressure people to buy in.

Apology vs. accountability

  • Hobby commentators summarizing his IG story describe it as an apology specifically for his wording and pressure tactics, not a full walk‑back of the break itself.

  • Some collectors feel it comes off more as explaining or defending his mindset than fully owning the behavior that upset people.
