Pete Schweddy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Anyone who runs photo booths what manufacturer do you recommend? Any to stay away from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWvend Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 IMO all of them. I hate to be a naysayer , but in today's world with all the smartphones having cameras and email capability, I cant possibly see how a photo booth could possibly make money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrCorey Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 apple makes the best. BUT, the supplies are around 2 grand a box for ink and photo paper. so they are not for a slow location. cause they are also temp sensitive and time dated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoRefunds Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 $2k??? I have 2 new Apple face place sapphire booths on the route. Both about a year old. I ordered a box of film (paper and ink ribbon) for under $400 just this week. Both of mine do about $100 a week gross on a 70/30 split. Both are in large college towns at a high traffic bar/restaurant. Both are mixed between merchandiser games, vids, jukes, etc Expensive to purchase at nearly $9k each new. Both have held up well. $5 vend price. I also have a dc photo booth that uses the same printer. $320 free shipping for the film (paper and ink ribbon). It has the same print quality as those $9000 booths in my opinion. The only thing this one doesn't do is online stuff and video and no credit card. I paid about $50 at auction for it. Unreal. Fixed the pc for basically nothing (bad caps), put in a new lcd montitor for next to no $, and trouble free ever since. It's in the shop now getting ready to go back out all the way to Charlotte, NC (about 3 hours away from me). I wouldn't take it that far unless I knew it was going to be trouble free. I ran it about 6 months here in town with zero issues. $3 vend price on that one but I may change it to $5 since it's going to the "big city". So basically, I see them as filler pieces if you can buy them at a good price and they won't take away from other games you may have in the same location. The ONLY reason I bought 2 new ones is that it was for my best and biggest customer who hinted at wanting to try a couple. This customer never asks for anything and the other games more than offset the booth's mediocre earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrCorey Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 nice. glad to here supplies for them went way down. that price I heard was from a apple rep a few years ago at a amusement show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleA Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The price the Apple rep quoted FrCorey is correct as there are 5 rolls per case. Fortunately you can order 1 roll at a time as NoRefunds does. I have had an Apple Sapphire for almost 3 years now and absolutely zero issues. I have also heard good things about Team Play's booth. I like the idea of having 2 printers in the machine so you can get full use of a roll of paper without the machine being down due to it being out of film and their vend price was relatively inexpensive at around $.29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
