HeyHavok Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I almost feel like people order toys from A&A or buy candy from Smart and Final and resell it... Why is it so expensive? Is there something I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You are not missing anything. You have described exactly what it is they are doing. Nothing wrong with it, I suppose. Some people don't know how to or want to research for the best price and just buy from them. Others don't require a large quantity -- maybe they need just a bag or two for a party. Either way, if there's a market for it, who can blame them for tapping into it? Some of these sellers are likely vendors themselves and just use this type of selling as another revenue stream.

HeyHavok Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 I just find it funny. I usually go to Ebay to look for deals... in bulk vending its the opposite. $37 for a box of 850 ct gumballs? Interesting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F J Vending Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I always wonder who is buying M&M off eBay for twice what you would pay at your local convenience store. Saw a listing for Peanut M&M 56oz bag for 17.99 with free shipping. I click on the seller to see previous buyers and he was selling 2-3 bags a day for the last couple weeks 1 bag at a time. I started thinking maybe I am going about selling candy the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting lol I actually buy my gumballs from ebay. I know it sounds crazy, but there's no Sam's Club here and Costco doesn't sell them. I've ordered from A&A for $28.88, but when you pay for the shipping, it's no cheaper. I don't buy more than two boxes at a time, so ebay is actually the best deal for gumballs for my situation.
