This is what we need. Real info about how to get started in this business.
Yah, I figure it maybe a good idea to share a plan. =)
Yes this is amazing and very helpful!
@@XtremeVending Hey I was wondering, what locks do you use for your claw machines? I have no idea which lock to buy for something like this. I don't know which ones are good.
@@GuardianAngelEatos happy it helped
@@GuardianAngelEatos depends what location i have my machines in. If its in a resturaunt or a grocery store that have employees near by, i place small locks. If they are in a laundry mat or someplace with no one there to watch, i put thicker locks on. Brinks brand locks or other similar locks work great
My dream...thank you for this! I'm looking at a machine right now and just waffling over whether or not to buy it yet haha.
Well if you are looking to start a route and make money i recomend them. I am not sure of your age, but if you have decent credit and are above 18 yrs old, the way I really expand my business was to apply for a 0 Apr intrest Credit Card. I was able to get 15 months of 0 apr. Although they usually are from 12 to 18 months. Also a added bonus usually they have 2% cash back with $100 bonus once you spend 1000 in 90 days... so I got a card and spent like $10,000 and got like 13 minis and 2 larger machines.. I ended up with $300 of free cash. Then I placed the machines and paid my credit card back with my earnings within the time period.
Aloha bro from Hawaii, mahalo for all of the great info. I already purchased a mini claw machine before prospecting for locations but Im not worried because i used to own an ATM. My reason for this is I want to use it to teach my 13 year old daughter about being a business owner. While I wait for it to come in, my daughter and I will dress the part and then go location hunting and talk to the owners of a few places i had in mind. I will say though your video has really gave me more ideas to try out that I had no idea about like finders fee for employees that work at possible spots and even bringing in the machine to the location, plugging it in, and letting them try it out, and also to pay them up front to let the machine stay on site. I cant wait to try it out. Thanks again. Aloha
I've been subbed to you since the start I just want to thank you once again, I have 2k saved up and I'm almost ready to get started
That is really great! You nearly have enough for 4 minis.. is that your plan to buy 4 of them?
@@XtremeVending yessir! how much do you pay the companies that house your machines?
@@silassamuels8404 25 to 35 percent usually
@@XtremeVending awesome, once again thankyou sm!👏🏽
Another great vid with tons of awesome information! This is why you the man bro!
Well thankyou! Really hope it helps every trying to get into claw machines
Great video man keep grinding and putting content like this and you’ll make it big in UA-cam
Hey thanks, I hope so one day. =)
Not sure if you read your comments, but you literally motivated me to invest in the mini claw machines to build passive income for myself. I’m waiting for my tax return so I can place the order for 4 of them, I already messaged Rainey for shipping and machine costs. Thank you for these videos! You’re really going to help a lot of people realize their entrepreneurial potential.
That is awesome!! I recommend google mapping some local locations
How are you doing buddy?? What website did you purchase the machines from.
Just picked up my first mini claw and I am excited to get it placed!!! - Subscribed to your channel!
let me know when you place it! that would be awesome =) welcome to the mini claw machine family!!
also thanks for the support!
@@XtremeVending quick question. What do you have your payout ratio set on your machines?
@@GalaxyGames843 No reply. :-(
Was so excited to see you post! I’m trying to find a place right now and when I do then I’ll order one of the mini machines!!! 😄
Good idea! I had 3 or 4 locations before I placed my first mini
Lots of really good info. Really reaching out and trying to help people. Good job 👍
Thanks! There a lot of new info i need to update soon so i need to make another video some day
Thx man for the advice you can allso get claws from places that are closing sometimes that happend to one person
Yah, thanks for your post! Good to know =)
great video love the brake down not to many people offering such great info thanks again and good luck
Hi! Very good information for beginners, everything is clear and accessible. Success in business!
Love the information. Gonna try and land a location tomorrow for my first machine
Thiis video was so useful, you gave me so many ideas, thank you. I am lotsoftomato btw!
i am happy to hear it can be useful for you! good to hear from you lotsoftomatos. how is your mini claw machine?
I'm headed there tomorrow for the auction. I'll be buying about $5k worth of machines. So how ever many games I can get for that. Is what I'll be bringing back home. Time to get this Claw Masters Arcade up and running.
Good Luck buddy, hope you have a good day tomorrow and have lots of fun!
@@XtremeVending gonna try. Hope I find some good deals.
@@24Redneck48 I like to know how it goes. Hopefully people don't over bid
@@XtremeVending I will fill you in for sure.
Great video this is a business I am looking to start with some friends! Your video has been very informative I wish you continued success for providng opportunities to those of us looking to get out of the rat race and becoming financially independent.
Wish you both success! It is really worth it to start a claw machine business!
Love this video! Great info!
Just bought 4 mini claw machines. I am teaching my daughter how to start and manage this business!
Wonderful! Where did you get your machines?
Very informative! I just got my first 2 claw machines. Time find a home for them and cash in
Hey Thanks for the feedback! Really do hope its helpful! Congrats on the claw machines and I wish you luck!
@@XtremeVending it's definitely helpful. I'm going to be using the profits from these machines to get a few mini ones!
Hey @deflaytedwayz1 where did you purchase your claw machine if you don't mind me asking, I'm hesitant about purchasing one online
@@randommarc1655 I got them from Captain's Auction Warehouse in Anaheim CA
@@deflaytedwayz1 Any updates on how your 2 machines are doing? Profits? What type of locations did you try?
What website or brand do you recommend to buy the big machines?? Thx for the vid!
Awesome video! Great information!!!
Thanks so much! Glad to have you enjoy it =)
Still a wealth of knowledge! Thank you
What percentage you give them to have your machines there
anywhere from 20% to 35%
How many locations do you have now? So many businesses here are still closed. How do you contact the laundromat owner? The ones here are not attended.
Usually there a number to call at the laundry mats. If you can't seem to get with the owner call them. Then try to setup a time to meet with them. And there is also a lot of stores closed here too. I have 9 machines placed but I can't get to 4 machines. 4 of my machines are in lock down. I have gone out and talk to 3 or 4 more places that might take my machines too. So hopefully I will expand my business soon
Where do we buy the Machines?
Hi I have a serious question here . When we do revenue sharing with the owner of the location, how do we declare how much we have made ? Is there a system to track ?
Keep track of all your profits, talk to the owner about what percentage% they would want of the profit. It's not good to give them a % of all the money it has in it because you need to make sure you make good profit yourself.
Could you do a video on the pros and cons of mini machines or maybe mini machines vs. normal sized machines
I like that idea
Thanks for the video, what would you say is big enough to start getting the LLC process going?
Well, its never to Late or tooo early! I would get one when you are able too
Is it possible to insert note money instead of coin, because all I have seen is only coin inserted machine.
I have USD be inserted all the time, What type of currency do you use? I think if you talk with Rainny she can better answer that, She the one who sales the machines and they are on sale =) best time to chat
@@XtremeVending Indian currency. the machine I am looking are all coin inserted machine. Do you customize urself after buying?
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Do we need to have a vending license to place these machines?
Depends where you live, most cities/states do require a license, however, not all places do
Hi Extreme do you have to have a business account to set up Nayax or can it be done with a personal account?
great video bro keep it up hopefully we can colab in the future
Thanks! Also sounds good to me
@@XtremeVending hey I have a question I’m going to buy a claw machine and he is selling it for 600$ but it’s 33 by 31 inches is that good proce
@@payout. i purchased my first machine for $600.. it was the Used toy house 32 inch claw machine
Really cool keep it up dude
Thanks, will do!
good info, thank you for taking time .
Do you know if the shipping cost would go down if you pick it up from the port?
actually it costs more in my experience lol
@@XtremeVending oh wow ok thanks
If I wanted to just place one machine somewhere, what all would I need before I place it there?
Depending on your local city and state laws you might need a permite/ license to get started.. however I personally started out with 2 locations and never got my license until i expaned. I know my city is pretty laid back. I doubt with one machine you would have any problems with it places in a location... but i just wanted you to be aware.
Before I got myself a machine I actually had a location lined up. Then i went out and got myself a machine.
Be aware that you will have to pay a percent to the owner of the business you place your machines... i pay anywhere from 20% to 35%... but honestly 25 to 30 percent is more common.
If you purchase a mini crane. Plush is pretty cheap. So that is awesome. Unlike larger cranes, plush can get pricey.
@@XtremeVending thank you!
@@davidbruketta2444 your welcome
Xtreme I have a question about the cost of machines slide. If you were to buy a large amount of machines they would be cheaper yes but wouldn't shipping go up also?
Since it is shipped by freight, it doesn't change the price that much
@@XtremeVending when you ship by frate you usually only get four because only four fit on a palate right?
@@TheBowlerYT they put 2 minis on a skinny pallet, they make custom size pallets for the orders
@@XtremeVending I see, well hopefully everything goes well for you during these crazy times also thanks for the quick reply's👍
Thank you for the information
I need to update this video a bit! But glad it able to help out!
Also, try to look up trending items like Among us and Rainbow friends and Alphabet Lore. Something that kids like. They’re most likely going to get more purchases if you put trending items.
Very nice and helpful video
glad it could be a useful video for you!
@@XtremeVending any chance u know a easier way to find state regulations I’m having a issue figuring what I need to start if anything , also heard I might need insurance on a machine if I do start I’m up in mass
Sorry we keep asking questions. Can you maybe send us a link of the plush you usually buy?
Samatha! I am sooo Sorry for late Responds, I didnt see these comments! Idk why I didnt get the alerts
www.ebay.com/itm/252790176898
that is where I got the pokemon emojis. Is that what you were looking for?
This video is amazing! Im just wondering who turns on the machine everyday when its on location? Does it have a timer?
Excellent question
Really good question! No there no timer, Most my locations just leave them on 24/7... but I do show them how to turn them off and on
yes it was a great question
=)
Hey xtreme! Can you tell me a location where you have one of the mini machines in AZ so I can play it and see it in person before I purchase my first set of 4? I’m in Scottsdale
The closest one I have is a dennys in Phx
@@XtremeVending thanks so much! Hope I find it
@@XtremeVending hey again! Thanks for the tip, with Google maps I found that location and played $7 between both of your minis this morning. I ALMOST got a prize. It helped being able to see and play in person. Thanks again for responding!
@@sa-eq1li that is cool! Did you like the machines?
@@XtremeVending I LOVED them. The machines are super appealing in person. When you walk by one, you want to play. The joystick is super smooth and it was a fun game! Having the ability to set the win ratio and strength of the claw makes me excited for profit. That’s one of the main things I wanted to get a feel for in person. I picked up the same prize maybe 7 times but never won it and it was still enjoyable and worth the play.
Very educational
Thanks! I am happy this video still helps
Hey , I noticed you said if you get bigger to go ahead and get an llc. But if you don’t, im assuming you still get a DBA correct? And if not, then how would you be able to do the tax write off without the LLC or DBA? This is my only hurdle right now. Thanks for your response
hi, extreme I have 2 claw machines and I'm stuck with them do you know how I could find places that don't already have claw machines placed there's a lot of competition
I would search for locations on google maps, Look at the pictures inside the stores, A lot of smaller stores cant fit a normal claw machine so if you have Mini claws its easy to get them as a location. Find a Mom and Pop store and talk to the owner. Come on the discord to chat with others on tips
So for you how much does about one regular sized claw machine cost with shipping? And a mini crane with shipping?
Mini machines Are sooooo much cheaper... I pay anywhere on the order sides, about $650 to $750 a machine for a mini. That includes shipping
as For the Larger Machine, I last ordered 7 Large machines and it cost $7800, So just over 1100 each (inculding shipping)
@@XtremeVending Wow nice! Thanks for letting us know.
@@samanthac.7906 yeah no problem!
How much were your mini claw machines each? I saw a deal on Alibaba, but I feel like it may be too good to be true. Lol
I usually pay around $650 each for a smaller order. But that is including cost that arent shown on alibaba. Like shipping, tax, boxing/crating/customs/adding a bill acceptor
You mention that you buy new machines, do you recommend a manufacture or provider?
Well It depends on what you want.. If you order from the Manufacture you can save a lot of money, however if there are any problems you might need a little skill to fix the issues... If you purchase from someone in the community it will cost more, but they should have go through the machines to make sure they are good working order
@@XtremeVending I’m am pretty green when it comes to it. Do you have a lot of issues with newly delivered machines? I’ve been against buying used mainly because of maintenance issues like not finding the right parts.
Have you tried putting a claw machine or a prize locker with airpods at a night club? I wonder if that's a market you could tap into because people are drunk, maybe they got the gambling urge in them, they wanna show off to their friends, and some people who visit night clubs may not care to spend $10-15 per drink so maybe they could have that same IDGAF about my $$$ mentality towards your claw machine or prize stacker.
Awesome video please keep it up!
Thank you! I will do my best to keep going
We are going to maybe put one claw machine on location so do you think its a good idea to buy an LLC with just one or two machines?
I am no Legal advisor. But with 1 or 2 locations I wouldn't worry about it... Inless your going into a franchise or a Corporation store
@@XtremeVending ok thanks!
Do you have a sample contract for the contracts you sign with the location?
I used to have a Document (very very basic) that we would sign. But most small Business owners are hard to meet up and sign. I have learned its better to just do a verbal contract
What kind of groceries stores a big one?
I would say any grocery store isna good location, but it would be a dream to get a walmart
@@XtremeVending nice I will try walmart then
@@boricuaenutah350 idk if its posible to getba walmart though. If you google search iga or grocery stores. Look around your areas
Thanks man I already applied to become a vendor supplier for Walmart and Sam's
Where do you buy your machines?
Hey man! How are you doing? I forget if I asked this, but what kind of locks do you get for your machines? What part of the machine are you locking? It's hard to tell. These mini machines look different from mine. I don't think mine has a place to put a lock that would help.
Sorry for late reply been sick! Its probably to late to answer this question huh? How have you been? I hope all is well for you!
@@XtremeVending I'm sorry to hear that you've been sick dude. No, I still haven't gotten a lock or placed my machine. Between all the restaurants being closed for indoor eating and a bunch of things happening in my life, along with a lot of things that I need figured out but don't know how to, It's been hard to get this started. So no, It's not too late. Haha!
@@GuardianAngelEatos dang, that is awful, things look so grim right now. I hope things work out for you. Keep me updated, i really am hoping for good things for you
@@XtremeVending Thanks. Any ideas for a lock for these mini machines? I'm not even sure how I would even put a lock on one of these. I have a laundry mat in walking distance that I could try to get one in, but I definitely want a lock for a machine there!
@@GuardianAngelEatos dosent your minis have the loops for the locks on your machines?
You rock dude, thank you.
😀
So do you pay commission after every collection or wait and do it once a month?
I pay every time I collect. Unless otherwise agreed upon.
Thanks for the video
Hi Is there an age limit I’m 13 so can I make sales as a 13 year old
ClawKicker and Joystick started when they where about 15 or 16 (they have nearly 2 million subs in their channels) In my discord there are some vendors who are 13. So there is no age limit. You can start whenever you want and can afford to.
Any chance you know where I can buy Japanese plushies in bulk? I know I could do alibaba, dhgate, AliExpress, Etc but I’m just worried they will come out looking derpy
I always had good quality plush from alibaba. You could always order from AAglobal.com but personally I am going to order from Alibaba, just because I feel like the quality is very similar
Hey man thanks for making this video. Im based in Texas. Im looking at Alibaba to see which machine I will order. Can you tell me the total cost you usually pay for one machine including shipping? The port fees and everything. Thanks
The mini have to be order in a bulk of 4 or more due to machines might tip over and break when shipping across the ocean. So maybe about $2600 for 4 minis shipped to your door.... you can purchase 1 mini from the usa sellers too. But they will cost a bit more. But i recommend coming on my discord channel. You can discuse with others about your options
@@XtremeVending wow thanks for the fast reply. I am talking to Rainny right now as we speak. He is saying there is no port fees or broker fees. They will ship it right to my door. Is that the same as your experience as well? This is sounding really amazing if so.
@@bravogenetics yes sir... it's pretty easy
@@XtremeVending is there a link to your discord?
@@bravogenetics discord.gg/4PQvUA6r
yes sirrrrr
Thanks for supporting my channel
Hey I’m just wondering do I still pay the full amount of taxes even though I’m a kid?
lol, I am not sure how taxes work as a kid.... hahaha that is a good question =)
Do you need a permit to place a claw machine ?
Depends on your city.
Most the time yes. But its really cheap
What kind of grocery store was that? That is so cool!
It a local Grocery store that in my town. It crazy they never had a claw machine, and no one ever offered a claw machine to them before me
I ordered my first machine today and got my first location at a shopping centre as I’m donating 20% to charity wish me luck
Good luck to you! What type of machine did you order?
@@XtremeVending Twin Minnie’s 😊😊😊
Also the dollar tree sells plushies you can buy them by case
How much is this in rupiah?
I just purchased 10 more machines $6200 including shipping. That averages $620 a machine in us currency. According to google $6200 in Rupiah is 89693234.67
Wow, that's a lot, I am Indonesian, want to buy a small and cheap one, where can I buy it?
@@ulaafifah8016 I thought it looked like a lot too, I could be wrong. I just google the cost. Maybe I did it wrong. Really that is the cheapest way to get a machine, But you need to order a large order... You could order 4 mini machines and it will cost about $700 each in usd
I personally wouldn't go for Chinese machines, I'd go for name brand Taiwanese machines like smart Industries or coastal amusements, they break down far less and parts are local.
That some good advice, thanks for sharing. I have personally haven't had any problems and I am approaching 1 year mark. Hopefully my machines last many years
Get your plushes from yard sales
Hmm, not a bad idea. I mean as long as its in mint condition I would use it
Xtreme Vending Do you think it needs to be? I was doing soda/snack and yard sale flipping. I’ve decided to put the two together and try to place claw machines with yard sale animals. Don’t have a location yet
@@calebhoney6159 i personally only want newer looking plush. Because the machines highlight any imperfections with the LED lighting
Hey ! So i left a comment on your page and as always i like your vids and subscribed but yeah! Hopefully since you're a lot more experienced than me you could let me know a safe website i could purchase my first claw machine(:
I order still on alibaba.com however I use a supllier that makes things really simple. the link is in the discriptions on my newer videos. talk to rainny
Heres my biggest concern with buying a chineese machine. 1- quality and 2- parts
If my machine breaks down and a simple part to fix is needed. Shipping of that part may take weeks and cost $$$$
When an american machine even though costs $$$$ parts are easier to get and cheaper
Am i wrong?
Some Great Questions! Quality is Pretty good, some of my machines are over 2 years old and run perfect. Parts are cheap and simple to get. Things as simple as coin mechs can be bought from amazon.com and you can replace in a matter of 2 days, More complex parts such as mother board or a gantry (claw) can be replaced for a small cost, But the machines come with a 1 year warranty so if something does break, simple record a video and message the supplier and they will fly out a replacement part pretty fast for free, no cost on shipping or anything.
As for an American Machine. Sadly there most likely no such thing. There are American Companies that have Claw machines, but they purchase them from foreign companies in China, or Taiwan. You can order from the Stores that are in the USA but they just get all their parts and machines from places like where i order
I have my own mini claw machine so maybe I can put it on location!
Do it if you can they are good money makers
cool
5:44 I’f I get robbed from the plush then go ahead get the plush I just want my cash for the month it’s only like $78 for plush like oh well I still at least have my $300 from this month
The good news is. Since i have gotton the larger locks. I have yet to be robbed again =)
Great video 👍
Looking for a name for my Vending Business. You think this names, there a good name? Which one you think is the best?

Thanks
I would not use 4 play lol. But the others are good names. Although that is funny
where do you get claw machines i have always wanted one and i have no idea where to get one
im in canada btw idk if that makes a big difrence or not :/
I purchased them from alibaba.com In my discord you can chat with many others who have order these machines too
@@XtremeVending ok THANK YOU SO MUCh (i dident know if i could trust it or not i thouht it was just for the plushies you are the beast
Wow, that’s strange. Your machine got robbed and they stole the plush toys and left the money alone. Never heard of that happening before…I would think they would be after the money.
This video really blew up
P
If you buy China machines will AMERICAN parts ( bill , change nech and replacement parts work? If not, where do you get oarts?
