bulkvendingwizard Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 I got a quote on wed. from A&A and both were 30.00 per bag making them .12 cents each. I figured if i sold them at .25 thats still about 25-30.00 profit per bag. I think the cars balls will be a blow out at .25 cents each making it worth it.

I can tell you from experience the disney balls do not sell good enough to justify the added expense, I suggest you mix them in with regular bb's to cut down on cost. you can still use the disney display.

Please take our advice you are heading down an unprofitable road Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think it should be profitable just for the simple fact that these superballs are going to charity based locations and there wont be any comission. I think with a nerds gumball 1" and car cartoon superballs that it will be a good combination for locations especially restaurants. I may try a few at .50 cents and compare them to locations with .25 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Is anyone vending the cars cartoon bouncy balls or nerds gum? I am thinking about setting my doubles up with nerds gum and these bouncyballs Will.vend posted about doing Nerd gumballs but didn't really have a sales increase to warrant continuing with them. and Last conversation with Derrick at A&A, he said they were going to do away with all the clear bouncy balls because of the increase in costs associated in the manufacturing process. It could make them more desirable but at a higher COG. I would definitely keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hillbilly I appreciate your inputs. I am going to try and call A&A this week and get some insights on some of their products such as the cars bouncy balls... What toys seem to be a hot seller for you? I think i will start out with just the basic double bubble and see how that works. I know that ill need to use the nerds if i get a location that already has the same kind of gum. Any imputs is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are half the price of nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacho Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Think about other flavors of gum. Watermelon, cherry or berry maybe. They are half the price of nerds. Agree. Watermelon and sour apple do the best for me as far as all one flavor goes. With the price and shipping for Nerds, it’s not even worth giving it a thought on making a profit from them. Stay away from novelty bounce balls. I tried the Superman and Sponge Bob when they first came out. It sold fairly well for a few months and then died off to almost nothing. I ended up using them as a mix with regular multicolored bounce balls. If you only have two locations to use them in, it’s a real big gamble and you could end up with stock that will not sell. Then your $30 per bag profit becomes a $30 wasted expense. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a charity based location or not. Listen to everyone on here. They know what they’re talking about. We’ve all been down that path too many times. Learn by our mistakes. But if you are just going to go ahead and do it anyway, good luck! Keep us updated.

The classic were on the sale list for December so you could have bought them the whole month. And if you still want them I promise you can get the sale price just ask for it.
