Gascap21 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 There is a candy factory claw machine it's from ice. It looks new and it has a bill accepter just wondering a good price point and do they earn. I never see anyone playing a candy crane. Can you put other stuff in them.
mjacks Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I run a bunch of candy cranes. Part of my basic setup and yes you can run a toy mix in it as well. They make decent consistent money but as always that depends on your location. I wouldn't put one in a bar since you want kids around.
mjacks Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I have no idea. Never used that particular brand or model. If it is anything like the Smart candy crane you will be doing good around $1500-1600 with a good bill acceptor. Is it new? Buying from a private party or distributor?
Gascap21 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 It's not new it looks almost brand new but it is used im buying it from a private party. He wants 400 bucks for it and it works great.
mjacks Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Sounds like a good deal assuming in works fine. Plug it in and play it a bunch.
zapjones Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Sounds like a great deal to me. I only have 1 old candy crane but I changed the signage and use it to vend egg capsules. My original thought was to put some sort of toy capsule that would hopefully be highly collectible where the kids would play and try to get the whole set like buildable marvel figures or something but A&A dropped or lost the license so I ended up using eggs instead. The operators I know that have candy cranes on route are very happy with them.
PowerVendor Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 what is your cost per vend on a candy crane? That is, how many pieces of candy or toys are picked up by the crane with each typical vend? I've looked at the catalogs and it looks like the average unit cost for decent candy or a candy/toy mix from rhode island vending is about 3-4 cents. I am trying to decide if a candy crane is profitable enough.

I am trying to decide if a candy crane is profitable enough. It depends on your mix but probably 2-3 pieces. Sometimes if it only picks up 1 small piece the sensor won't catch it and it will go again.
