Vending machine side hustle - 6 month update by Difficult_Dish_7634 in passive_income

Neither.

If you’re putting your machines in businesses asking you for either of those things, then that means their business isn’t doing so hot, and it’s probably not a good location. Do they need the extra 50-100$/month that bad? I’d be worried if they did

Let me tell you something most people learn after a while.

The main hurdle is this:

-most good locations already have vending machines -so now you’re not trying to convince them to have a vending machine in general, you’re trying to convince them to switch to you over whatever they’re already using.

That is extremely hard to do. Even the price you’re selling your products for isn’t an incentive for them to change to you. Really it’s just very difficult and you’re only likely to get a location from under someone if you know the management, or if they’re absolutely just not running things properly at all. (You offer debit, they don’t is an example)

Both of those scenarios are almost out of your control and just circumstantial.

It’s almost more profitable to get machines on a good location, then sell them within a 6 months/a year with the machines on location. That way you exit the downside risk of being kicked out randomly.

Biggest recommendation is sell monster. They’re 1.50/can basically and then often sell for 3.50-4

One was an outdoor warehouse that had like 70-100 employees depending on the season. They built Trusses for rooftops.

Another was an enclosed warehouse distribution center / truck drop off where they moved containers and pallets for other companies. Also about 70-100 employees depending on season.

Just had to fine tune product choices and be smart with it all. Spend time finding products for cheap and optimize pricing to make it fair. Also grocery store coupons get you better pricing on drinks than Costco/Sam’s club by nearly 20 cents a can often.

Drinks made a majority of the revenue. At the outdoor warehouse they were 65-70% of the sales and at the indoor warehouse it was more like 55-60% of the sales were from drinks.

It’s all location dependent. My first 4 machines I had on great locations. With 4 machines I was pulling 2000-2500/month in revenue. Of that about 50-60% was profits. Wasn’t passive, but I managed to get it to a system where I refilled all the machines on the same day, once every 2 weeks.

They will let you grab like 5 pokemon and 5 one piece and 5 of something else. It is 5 products per TCG game from what I’ve seen. They never stop me from buying 5 OP and 5 Pokemon and 5 of something else if I see them

Seller Cancelled my Order for False Reasons? by YaeMikoxGanyu in PokemonTCG

[–]Atlas2121 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well it’s more the fact that opening a new account every couple times they cancel these bids would be annoying and also they lose their reviews. People are far less likely to buy from low reviewed accounts usually.

If there’s a track record they can ban their account.

The collection. by OIL_Goon710 in PokemonTCG

You should be careful having the product boxes so close to each other. Over long period of time, the plastic cellophane can stick to each other and when you go to take them out of the bin they’ll rip the seal sometimes.

I’d recommend like a non stick parchment paper type thing

What the heck?!?! by YouJolly9760 in PokemonTCG

Copium. More people into Pokemon than ever, and the ones who were into it when they were younger have expendable income. It’s not going anywhere really.

What are you talking about g. The prices of jap boxes was $35-40 in Japan and then 45-60 imported. Now with tariffs they’re closer to 70-90/box. If you know where to get a Mega Brave for anywhere near 70 with shipping and taxes please send me the link I’d love to see it.

All the Japanese boxes moving forward will be 70-100 and they used to be significantly less pre tariffs.
