rodney69 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Ok, so I'm setting up my first oak rack, and 2" capsule machine. I have 4 accounts that are being upgraded to include 2" and I'm trying to figure out how much to charge. Is there percentage that people try to stay close too? like cog at 20%? Or what? Just trying to devise on .75 or 1.00 mech's. For instance... Tnt's mini flashlight's If I charge .75 it's 18% cog (not including shipping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 That's what I'm wondering. What about when you have competitors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I stay under 20%. Once you get to 30% on up profitability starts going away. We do. .75 and 1.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'll have to look those up. I have on the way the mini flashlight from tnt. Outs kind of borderline too me on whether to charge 1.00 or .75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazing Hippo Vending Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I am at $1 for all of my 2" and I am at $.50 cents for all 1". Also, about half the locations where I have bouncy balls, I am at $.50 cents. I figured it this way...If I sell half the number of units at 50 cents vs. 25 cents then it is less work for me and I make the same money. I havent had any issues moving 1" at 50 cents. I do try and buy the "better" 1" toys to sell at 50 cents. Selling 1" sticky for 50 cents is a bit outrageous but I am moving them ok at 50 cents. I believe they cost me like 3 cents per unit (or maybe 4 cents?). Now for 2"....I decided to go $1 on everything because I thought it would be less hassle than dealing with 2 price points for 2" toys. I dont have much competition here so this has worked "so so" for me. I really think some 2" items MUST be sold for 75 cents. I am in the midst of deciding what machines I will be switching to 75 cents from $1. Some of my sales have been a tad slow at $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm already at .50 on all 1", just the other day on sticky, but I get TNT sticky which fills the caps. Just getting my 2", so trying to figure it out. This is what I'm getting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 $1 on 2" can be hit or miss. I have three locations where I sell 2" stuff. One location is $1 and it sells pretty slowly, one location sells at $1 with pretty good sales, and another location is at 75 cents and does awesome.

ska173 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just checked 2 racks, one is all .50 for 2" and the other is 2 @ .75 and 1 @ 1.00...Bok Choy and Sticky YoYo sold very well at .75, finger lights was adequate at 1.00. YoYo & finger lights both sold great at .50. I am trying to get most of my 2" at .75 or more but that will mainly be for racks I am building no changes to existing.

ska173 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The finger lights I bought are the discontinued ones from AA that I got from someone up here for nothing and the YoYo's are good enough margins...also lower than average commissions.

rodney69 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 That makes more sense. I'm paying 30+% at my locations. I couldn't sell that low. .75 maybe, but I'd rather stay high, then if our doesn't work, go lower. It's also a pretty good mix I think. It's good to get so many opinions though.

ska173 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Certainly I just watch for product opinions and ask Chris at AA for deals...just wish I bought more of the DC comic dog tags those sold extremely well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 That's great advice! I just wish Chris was my sales person! I have Jason and he doesn't respond like I feel a salesman should. That's why I haven't bought from them. Chris is on it. I'll try that though. I'm wanting to do a double 2" with a flat and 1" soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkochan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I do $0.75 on most of my 2" heads. I run 2" Treasure Mix at $0.50. 45mm super balls sell at a $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
