I've got 500 heads on the street..ALL Beaver equipment..mainly in Bowling Alleys and Ice Rinks..finding the next HOT capsule can sometimes be hard to find.. Please tell me whats been selling the best on your route(s). For instance, 2" Wrist Bands were selling great for approx. 4 months on my route..Lets share and help each other catch the next HOT item!!

[minivend]

Well I guess I'll reply to my own question..Currently Spike It and Yo-Yo Balls are selling very quickly here in Michigan..Anyone else have a hot item??

[Aquarterdollar]

Wouldn't know I sell candy probably 90% of the people here sell candy. It would be next to impossible to sell toys to mostly men who work at a warehouse or factory.

Hey mini give the goof balls a try they seem to be selling on my route.

Good Luck and Good Selling!

Right now, Fuzzy face mustaches are still moving really good in 2". ALso, Sticky THingys 2" is moving well with a display that really seems to work (from AA Global.). Also had good success with Spy Guy from flatline (sales may be leveling off on this - not sure yet).

Thanks,
mark

PS: Thanks for the tip on the yo yos - think Im going to try these.

Fast Food Erasers are HOT..both 1" and 2"..might have taken the place of Pencil Toppers..

[markvend]

Minivend,

Have you heard from anyone else about the fast food erasers and how they are doing? I have never tried them but have considered them for a trial run. I can't really remember hearing much about them from other vendors.

also havent heard from any other operators, but they are selling well on my route. I'm selling the 1" for $0.50 and they are moving well..Again, I've got alot of "kid high traffic" accounts..Cardinal Dist. in Baltimore has the best pricing.. Talk to Tom...

[Red Bear Vending]

Hello,

Where can you purchase fast food erasers?

[minivend]

Cardinal Distribution in Baltimore, MD. Talk to Tom or Mike..

[mizugori]

Have you guys had good luck with the "homies" figures or care bear figures? If so, how much do you vend them for? These both come in the 2" capsules btw.

I have been selling them in one or two locations. They are doing great!
And I don't have to mention the silly bandz craze, right? I'm not doing them, only because I have so much other stuff. But I feel like I missed the boat on that one.

[minivend]

band-ables or silly bands may be a staple. I'd order some 1" even if you dont put them out on the street right away..I cant keep them in my machines..How about Snap Snakes? Anyone had any luck with those?

[newtread]

I only have a few machines but I have been selling "Sticky Hands" and "Poppers" really well. I don't make much profit though because they cost me about 11¢ each after capsule cost and shipping and I have to fill my own capsules. I am thinking about buying this machine and selling stickers. Anyone have experience with this machine or sticker sales in general?

Was at a convenience store today. It looks like Disney and Marvel are getting into the act with their own version of the bandables. Disney is selling them in the shape of the princesses. I didn't see how much they were, or how many were in a package, but just the thought of them being that available to anybody anywhere makes me not want to compete. The fast food erasers aren't everywhere like these bandz are. I don't have to compete with all the different stores to sell them.
