AmuseStar Vending Co Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Gary, You should order "Sticky Darts" 1" from A&A, and try them. They are great sellers for me. On the other had, I decided to try doing some 1", 50 cent on one rack. I threw those things in, and I have not seen a drop in sales. I recommend you guys to try that.

West Coast Vend LLC Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Antonio, The person I deal with at A&A, I think, knows better than to talk me in to junk toys. I buy pretty big orders from them each month and I already told him that I will go someplace else if he gives me dead items. He has really been great so far plus I look around at other vendors as well as have my 3 children help me decide what they would buy if it was them. The clerks at A&A don't get commission from what they sell according to my guy so why push poor sellers. We talk just about every other day.

markvend Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have about 12 2" capsule machines where I have used this sticky mix with the Splat Tomatoes . This is hands down my best seller (adults too). They run about 34.50 a case and I'm going to .75 on them soon. I have been surprised that across the board whatever I try hasn't beat it. http://www.2flatline.com/content/products/250st_large.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T BIRD Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 What is the difference in size and shape of a mini capsule that vends 25 cent toys? Is it different than a 1.1 capsule that can vend a 25 cent capsule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 What is the difference in size and shape of a mini capsule that vends 25 cent toys? Is it different than a 1.1 capsule that can vend a 25 cent capsule? I think that the mini caps might be the round ones and the 1.1 are acorn style.both are usualy 25 cent vends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 My best selling 2" is the Dentures by Dwayne/Hillbilly Teeth, I cant keep them in my racks, only two but both are chinese buffets and 2 of my top 10% of locations. I will be putting out my third rack today, with more teeth on them! The only other product I have used so far is a 50c vend mystery mix of licensed and unlicensed stuff, and that has sold ok, but nothing spectacular yet. If they dont do better over the next cycle I will try some Family Guy or other lisenced toys in the other 50c slot. I am also considering 75c/1.00 vends for when I start putting out 7-ways next year.

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 View my top sellers below this post. The Jelly Flingers (My Picture to the left) flys out of the machines. SPIKE does good. You can't fail with any below (Puppy Palz are questionable) Dewane Dentures are the worst things I have ever tired. I ordered 500 (2 cases) and have not been able to sell any at all (They were in 4 machines). I have 4 displays, and over 300 caps left. I put glo crosses in all the spots these were in, sold out in 2 weeks. If you want a good seller, try the below products. Kyle YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vend LLC Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Kyle, $38 for the sticky mix is not to bad, but $45 a case on the other 2" stuff is to much for me. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Gary, I will pay whatever price I have to, to get good sellers. I think that is the best way to do it. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Kyle, I have a bridge I need to sell you. It's a one of a kind. It's famous! You can get licensed product for that price. You are paying that much for sticky stuff? I am old and poor. I need to make money doing this. Just playing with you buddy, kinda...
