G-man422 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Is there really a difference between the .925'' and the 1'' gumballs? I've noticed I can buy the 850ct. 1'' DB if I go to Sam's at about $.021 per gumball, or I can order them online and have them shipped to me for free for about $.019 per .925'' gumball. It seems like the obvious choice is to have them shipped and not waste the gas, but do the smaller ones tend to jam machines, or get customer complaints? All input is appreciated. Thanks.

carter7984 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 at about $.021 per gumball, Its a little more than 2 cents a gumball... Like he said... .021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Good question. Does that price include shipping and do you have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man422 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 The .925'' includes shipping: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=357173&pCatg=9332 The 1'' are for pickup only: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=194564&pCatg=1659 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Interesting, You may be onto something..................... Anyone else have any input on this? I might try this out unlessanyone can list the cons of this. Anyone, .... Anyone....... (Reference to Ferris Buellers day off.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearcutvending12 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 yea that looks like a deal, im buying them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Key Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yes, that is interesting. 850 1" Gumballs x .25 vend = $212.50 1080 .925" Gumballs x .25 vend = $270.00 .925" Gumballs would make $57.50 more per box. Has anyone used these? Even with the size difference, the gumballs wheels I have are adjustable. I might have to try these out myself.

clearcutvending12 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 yah do they ship to anywhere though? and also, are them deformed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would think since it's Sams club they would ship to just about anywhere in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man422 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yeah, I might just order some because they're cheaper and have a higher profit potential. (not to mention I don't have to go to Sam's to get them.) If anyone has any experience or uses these please advise. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I could be wrong but I am almost positive that one of the "Big Guys" here runs these. I know I have heard them mention the 1080 GB's before. I want to say it was Smiley or someone along those lines. I did a search here using 1080 as the string and it pulled up a few threads. Here are some highlights... http://www.vendiscuss.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=309&forum_id=1&highlight=1080 http://www.vendiscuss.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=106&forum_id=1&highlight=1080 Judging by the other threads in the search, Antonio may have some input. It appears that he runs them as well. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formula81 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was about to post a similar question regarding the size. being slightly under an inch will these run smooth in a 1" Beaver GB Wheel? I have not measured to see if an advertised 1" ball is true to size or if they are also slightly undersized. any info on this part of the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I actually use the 1430 count with no problems. I have them right now in a Seaga double set up with plain M&M's on the other head and they are pulling almost the same. $10 for the gum and $13 for the M&M last time for a month soak. I also have them in a XYZ without a gumball wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer980 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 new2this I would say yes but it really depends on what machine you have. With a gumball wheel you can dial it in so the gumball just fits through the hole. With other machines you can adjust the candy wheel to fit one in most cases. Tell us what machine you have and maybe someone has tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDERSONVENDING Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 They didn't vend everytime,sometimes you had to shake the machine to get it to vend again. Vending one at a time. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I will have to try that with some of my SSF machines. I will try it with my Millenia machines too (when I order Gumballs next time. I will post and let you know the results. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
