PowerVendor Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Does anyone have any knowledge about the Capsule Craze redemption game by Bob's Space Racer? They are $5,900 new and used around $2,200. They vend a 4" prize capsule. I was thinking about the VRM model used that plays the same ball inside the chute versus the original version that floated the prize capsule and was prone to malfunctioning. I've seen the older version for around $800 on craigslist. Parts, cost, reliability, profitability? It looks like in 2007 they renamed it "bubble up" which is still available today. Just looking for some operator feedback. Happy holidays everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjacks Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have looked at pictures of the machine and can't tell if they are DBA compatible. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have looked at pictures of the machine and can't tell if they are DBA compatible. Anyone know? I don't think they are. I have seen one in person and can't remember a slot for it. It's not a very popular unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerVendor Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm just trying to build my route somewhat away from gum/candy bulk vending without making too many $$$$ mistakes. I sort of wait for a decent "pre-owned" unit to come my way. Please, anyone feel free to PM me if you have any decent redemption or crane pieces for sale. I know you guys got NEW pieces for Christmas and need to get rid of the OLD ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of used equipment I'm looking to sell some. Some is working some needs repairs, what's ur price range?

At the auction the should fall in the range of 400 to 800 I'm in North Carolina and plan to go to the auction. I know there is an operator in Concord, NC that has had two on Craigslist for a few months at $800. Apparently they're not worth $800? I wish there was a way to know a head of time what is going to be at the auction. Sometimes it seems to be a bunch of junk with some high priced pinball machines - and a lot of them. Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my eyes open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
