Tbuford Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I just added MP-3 players to a couple 2" misc fronts. I'm gonna run it for .75 and put two MP-3's in each head. I'll place them to where the kids can see them and hopefully they won't fall unless they empty the machines. I've fooled a bit with .75 2" misc before, but my leader items did not have the perceived value of an MP-3 player. At less that 3 bucks delivered each I should be able to make it work. Folks that order MP-3's at least 300 can get them delivered for less than 2 bucks each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandJGroup Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Good idea. Where are you getting your mp3 from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbuford Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Aliexpress, Billnuts told me about them a couple months ago. I got 30 for something like 2.80 each direct from china to me free shipping. They look good and come in a clear case w/ headphones and jack to plug into computer. I bought them for cranes, but decided to try in bulk machines. The case is a bit to big for 2" vend, but if you take them out of case the MP-3, headphones and jack all fit into a regular 2" cap.

I saw some of will vends machines and he has the display looking good. He glue gunned a player to a already nice mix display. We used clear round caps so they stand out in the machines.

What method of payment did you use on Aliexpress? I'm just wondering if my credit card would be secure if I use this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks for sharing! I went ahead and ordered 10 MP3s with earbuds and USB adapter at $1.95 each with free shipping. I figure that it will get the kids excited to spend the extra quarter. Great idea guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjacks Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I tried to use Aliexpress last week but the site wouldn't let me progress past the order screen. Got sick of it and moved on to something else. The MP3 idea sounds like a good one. I suppose you don't have to order the MP3's that include the retail case for that purpose and save a little bit of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally use Ali but at that price and with the memory and able to get them quick it is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
