Erosenlieb Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Do you know how much they charge to ship it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Talk to Parsal about shipping. Much will depend on where you are and how many you order. Like anything else, each variable will effect cost. The good news is that these machines are not unnecessarily bulky or heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catch me if you can Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Whats the average ROI in a kid friendly location such as a family restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erosenlieb Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 That seems to be a good hunk of money for that machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treadmill Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Whats the average ROI in a kid friendly location such as a family restaurant? I understand each location is different but if you could get one of these into a busy family restaraunt how long do you think it would take to get your ROI on one of these machines? I am strongly considering giving one of these a try. Didn't you just ask the same question just a little while ago. Not satisfied with sherlock' s answer.

rxmark Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Where is the best place to get the eggs for this machine. I see aa has empty eggs and cardinal sells them. Where have you guys been getting them? I have a grocery store to put one in to test the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have you guys been getting them? I have a grocery store to put one in to test the waters. Oh geeeeez! I'll bet a busy grocery store would earn you a fortune with one of these! Let us know how that goes, please. As far as the eggs...I get mine already filled through A&A. There are 3 categories of filled eggs at A&A: Economy, Best, and Deluxe. I wouldn't recommend the cheapest mix...I go with the "best" (mid-level) mix, product code "BestC". Although, I do occassionally buy the Deluxe and mix it in with my other eggs. The Deluxe comes with gold eggs which look real good in an All-American. I'm tinkering with the idea of filling my own eggs in the future. There are some eggs with decent toys in the "best" mix but some of the filler stuff in there is really crappy IMO. Of course, the chicken machine is also a great place to get rid of slow-sellers. Just buy empty eggs, fill them with the slow-selling product, and add those eggs to either your own mix of good toys or one of A&A's mixes. This works far better than selling slow-moving product as a "mystery mix" in a bulk machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjacks Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This tread reminds me that I need to move my chicken machine around a bit. I have it in a very busy family restaurant and it does ok. I expected more from it but it plods along at a steady rate. Not bad for the cost of the machine though. I need to try it out in one of my grocery store locations.

The slow selling 2 inch round from brand also works Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxmark Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Betson is charging $1499 plus 200 for freight the freight sound right for this machine? Seems like they tack on $200 for all equipment. I tried ordering direct from parsal but they said I have to get through Betson since I am a Betson customer already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 The freight is right on for one. That's about what is cost for one to me. But I can put four on a pallet for 380. May want to order more than one to keep cost down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Falcon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Have how many Chicken machines you have? I think I'm going to order another one, since I'm not to far from Parsal I could save on the delivery charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Cities Vending Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 TNT Amusements is local to me and they sell the Chicken machine. I emailed them to see if they have them in stock. Maybe I will get out of the shipping cost. http://tntamusements...?pg1-cid62.html I guess I'm ready to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more than likely they are being drop shipped from NY. But dont let the frieght hold you back you can get that back in a coulpe of weeks.

Seems like they tack on $200 for all equipment. I tried ordering direct from parsal but they said I have to get through Betson since I am a Betson customer already. over the years I have seen many fly buy night machine companies. They order wheels and coin mechs from AA build a cabinet and throw sticker on the side and charge you 800.00. Most time they are made from partical board lol. Parsal is not one of those companies. Their vending roots date back to the 40s including owning the Eppy Charm Company and creating the first eggs that would stay closed with out tape. If they were not doing it right they would not still be here. Im sure thats why they had you go to Betson. Sure they could have sold you and and made a couple hundered extra by cutting out Betson. But what kind of company would that make Parsal? Parsal plays fair and takes care of their customers as well as the companies who sell their product. I fell good dealing with a company like that.

shepherdsflock Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So what are the main selling points that your locations find so attractive about this versus a typical rack? If they already have a rack, how do you convince them that it's worth their floorspace to allow you to put a machine in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Cities Vending Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 You were right, shipped from factory. They are going to send me a brochure. Great for trying to place one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
