G-man422 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well, I have been wanting to get some spirals for a year or so but could not find any decent deals. I finally came across these on CL. The ad listed 3 yellow spirals for $100 each. I called him, asked some questions and set up a time to come check them out (they were about an hour from me). I ended up purchasing all three for $250. After I get them cleaned up I am hoping to land some nice locations for my new babys. PS: The brand is "Creative Products" and they're about 7 years old. They look like Beaver mechs.

will.vend Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 nice score! these do well in laundromats! I have a smaller purple one in a laundromat and it outsells the regular gumball machine next to it every time. the kids love watching the gum go round and round! the only drawback is if the gum chips and gets in the spiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinnJinn Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 You could always switch to bouncy balls to solve the gum chipping problem Now that would be a cool show! put a couple small bumps in the spiral and watch the balls bounce their way down.. If you were quick enough, buy two or three balls and it would be a sight to see!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizugori Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I am dying to get some of these machines but they are so expensive, 400-700 new. Any ideas where I can find a good deal? I am located in NY. I look on craigslist fairly often but haven't had any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on kijiji, craigslist, local classifieds and Ebay and I'm sure you will find a good deal in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
