I would like to see a service date on these. I'd be much more likely to use them if I knew they were regularly serviced. Especially if it's over half way empty.
I only fill my machines half way so the candy stays fresher. The fuller tye machine the longer the top candy sits in the machine to get sold
I saw one at a pizzeria that had like cracked m&ms and melted skittles... Definitely not appealing
Candy doesn't really expire.
@@Topdoggie7 tell that to the chalky cracked m&ms i spoke of.
Depends on how much vandalism you get on a machine. Somebody was sticking toothpicks and pennies for weeks on end in one of my machines at walmart. It doesn't give you free stuff, but it does make me clear the jam on filll it or make a service call if it's beyond my capabilities.
I have a cousin who owns 19 different candy machines, 6 vending machines, 2 canned drinks (one coke and one Pepsi), 1 bottled drinks (some form of exotic sodas). He services them all himself and pays a tiny “rental fee” for the location and power for the ones that use electricity. He does this as his side hustle and makes about 21k a year in profits after gas and time and restocking fees. Not bad for about 5 hours of work a week.
now that sounds realistic and awesome to hear, I'm tired off hearing fake ass stories of people with like a couple of vending machine making upwards of 100,000 a year.
That's pretty impressive. 5 hours of work a week for a solid chunk of change across a year.
he makes nearly as much as I do working 1/10 as many hours.. fuck man
This is one of the few job/hustle stories that's made me consider a job
@@perkypears but he had to pay a lot of money to buy those machines
“Not too shabby” Keep up the good work guys
Thank you bro!!
not when I drop some slugs in it

Anyone else bothered that there’s no label on the peanut m&m’s? Imagine a kid with a peanut allergy buys one…
Weed out the weak
Not really. Children usually aren’t using them alone and parents with kids who have allergies teach their kids to ask first, be responsible and aware etc. It used to work well back in the day where the responsibility was on the consumer and kids knew what they could and could not have. It’s a vending machine, not an elementary school lunch program
@@lisad4013 It’s not too much to ask though to know what you’re buying? Regardless of the “most of the time”’s it’s pretty bold of you to assume there’s not a single unsupervised child with a bit of pocket change who decides to spend it on a piece of candy, not knowing what it is for certain. Could even assume it’s something else. It’s not about what is or isn’t likely, it’s about preventing the worst case scenario; because no child’s life is less important than the two seconds it takes to write a “contains peanuts” label. Even if you want to blame stupid parenting for it instead, whatever.
@@Luigiismyboo unless they don’t know about the allergy they should know. Especially if it’s a life or death situation. A kid that small won’t be able to read. A parent who lets their child go alone to get snacks knowing of the allergy is a little strange and their responsibility. On top of that, families with kids that small with the known allergy also usually have an epi-pen with them everywhere. In elementary schools, they have one strapped to them in a fanny pack all day.
This has become a helicopter-society.
Most people who run these machines don't care lol
This is completely disregarding how much it is paid to Walmart to have this there, the old candy still being inside (remember this things have a expire date), and the cost of driving to the location in 2022. How much pocket change are you left with that still pays for gas?
Glad to see you guys confirming that cleaning these machines is NOT what goes on. Just dump and go, huh? Someone once said if you can only afford a car by skipping maintenance you should get a nice bike.
You dont have to Clean them every time you refill them. He has only sugar shelled Candy and doesnt touches the inside. I know you are American and Love to drown everything in bleach, but how about Some Common Sense Karen?
I'm considering staring this business, i definitely intend to clean the outsides and the inside probably once a month
How come nobody ever mentions the fact that you gotta pay to have your machine in a Walmart. You can't just put a candy machine in a Walmart & profit "for free" 🤣🤣😬😐🧢
No pain, no gain?
I did not even know. I always thought it actually belong to the store. lol
Yeah but you can potentially ask a small business to put it up in there and they can say yes withount you paying
A lot of ppl do, it also just seems like common sense, barbers paY a chair rent fee, whY wouldn’t ppl who own vending machines or ppl who own candY machines be different?
@@Stoplaggin walmart isn't just some "small business" 🤣
Love the videos!!! Please more in depth on updated locations. Just got my first machine😀
Factor in how much you pay the store for renting that space somr may be free but other will charge a small fee, plus your gas money and time involved servicing it that isn't much left after all that. I can see this as a good teaching tool for a teenager or child that wants to learn business but the amount of these you would have to have to make any decent amount of money would be a lot. EDIT now that I have seen more of your videos and seeing how you guys know what you're doing I can see this for myself as a side business, maybe not full time for me but I can see 20 to 30 of these being a decent monthly profit from basically a completely automated stream of income, and you earned my subscription
amazing!! How were you able to secure that location? do you pay money up front? or any committing ?
The most common ive seen is that they pay a small amount of rent to have the machine there like full vending machines tend to do
I wish they had some mechanism to dispense the candy without you having to touch the machine so that you didn't spread your germs that's the main reason I avoid these types of machines.
So you're telling me that those candies have been sitting in there for about 3 to 4 weeks no wonder they are always so stale.
I always leave the house with a quarter just in case I find one of these 🤣.
No labeling the peanut M&Ms for anyone with peanut allergies brave man not fearing a lawsuit.
I have a question: are people actually buying for these?
Probably not
I never buy from these machines, I find them unhygienic. Rather just buy from the store
Lol what about when you use your phone
@@androidunderground40 when I use my phone, I'm not shoving it in my mouth.
@@gothica3605
…
You make a good point there.
@@androidunderground40 there's a difference between you touching your own phone and people at Walmart going to the rest room and not washing their hands before getting this and touching the inside where the candy falls. Like how you wipe your own butt, but probably wouldn't want to wipe some strangers.
You realize that touching a door knob is like shaking hands with every person that has touched it right, oh it's not like sticking a phone in your mouth? Do you wash your hands your hands every single time before you eat and not touch a door knob on the way out? so three times a day even more when looking at your phone while eating unless you disinfect that every time too. Err drr I'm a average person I don't think. We eat and live with germs get used to it.
I would love this as a side hustle. However, I’m currently living in third world country and leaving these machines unattended mean people would be hacking and stealing from it and get away unbothered
How much in gas do you factor in to go to each location?
Hi! I’m wondering what coin pushers are classified as in the state of Colorado.
With most people not carrying cash are vending machines generating less income
What they don’t tell you is that depending on your state or county you might need a sales license and you would have to file your own business as a LLC or a sole proprietor and that costs money as well depending on what you do, extremely confusing
But are they still used as often? I remember always begging my parents for candy but I've never seen a kid near one in forever
True especially where I live they rarely get used. I remember the days of having pop machines around old Safeway and they had Safeway select pop in the machine for 50 cents each but the machines would get vandalized from time to time. The only candy machines we actually have in town is at the mall the other mall has none except for the exit at Canadian tire and we are down to 1 claw machine at the entrance of the second mall. Sad that all the side attractions are disappearing in smaller cities even the kid rides.
I used them all the time as a kid but now they look all old and dirty 🤢
@@Okk681 plus I'd say you also have to factor in what people like for candy. If you have peoples least favorite candy it will just going to sit. The flavorless food colored gumballs aren't worth getting. If your going to put anything In it at least put something worth wild
U should probably put a sign on the peanut mnms saying they have peanuts before someone gets hurt
What would show best is if you could compare current profits with years before
I used to always get 5-6 gumballs per quarter. Just spin the dial slowly until you hear it drop, then shake the machine so more fall out
I love candy machines like these and seeing them being opened felt like I just witnessed a cursed forbidden knowledge not meant for my eyes.
How much does Walmart charge you to put them there?
So you got items from sams club to resell in Walmart?
Sam's club is for buying things in bulk, often to sell
Sam's Club is owned by Walmart
There would be twice the amount of money in that machine if our parents let us buy one
*one*
"one"? yeah u sure about that?
It depends on Location too
You forgot to mention how much you pay Walmart to allow the machine to operate in the store. Also, you have to pay for a Sam’s club membership which also adds to the cost. Soooo what’s your real profit per serving?
One of the high lights of my childhood 😊 and don't forget the fake tattoos and the lil surprises like a ring, necklace,key Chains. Man take me back 😢
Russia also has candy machines, and prices can range from a mere 5 rubles ($0,086) to 60 rubles ($1,04). The ones 30 rubles ($0,52) and higher are usually little toys such as rubbery figures, the ones lower than that are usually candy such as jellybeans, and good god they're good. These can also be met at supermarkets and malls. There are also machines where you can buy toys from 50 rubles ($0,86) to 350 rubles ($6,05) from atleast from what i've seen. The candy machines only accept coins, while the machine i meantioned accepts both coins and bills (paper money).
You know we are fecked when gumball machine aren't profitable anymore.
Completely unrelated but I remember one of these at the local laundry mat growing up. The candy in it tasted like laundry detergent smelled. Either the smell in the air saturated it, whoever handled it would also handle the soap, or someone put it in with the candy for some reason.
You ate laundry detergent
@@mecha_au wouldn't be surprised lol. But the sticker said runts and it was the fruit shaped candy. Well most were round since apples oranges and grapes are just round. But had a banana shaped banana flavored one too.
Only if you own the candy/vending machine, not rent it. Especially when you don't get to chose the location.
After rent for the space and gas to get to the location, is it still worth it?
I wonder how much Walmart charges to station them?
Glad to see your candyvmachine is profitable.
BUT how much do they make? What good are those margins if just a few people use them?
That really just depends on the location. I have a machine making $5-$10 a month, some doing $30-$60 a month, and some locations doing $150+ (those are toy vending machines). On average candy machines make $30 a month. That can really fluctuate depending on location.
@@clawtimevending Ty for the reply.
@@hockeydad6211 Living in small cities I don't see them really being that profitable, Rather more a dust collector lol 😄 years ago we use to have Safeway and there was a pop machine there with Safeway select pop in it for 50 cents each and from time to time the machine would get vandalized. Except for one of the 2 malls we have actually has the candy and toys. But never see no one use them ever. Plus the kids rides haven't seen them in years. The other mall has one candy machine at Canadian tire and that's pretty much it. And that mall has the only 1 claw machine left in town. I miss the days of clawn machines and coin pushers. So I'd say they are just a dust collector. Good nostalgia of old times when people appreciated them more. Unless your in a country where this is a thing like Japan, Singapore, the country of vending machine Las Vegas then your golden.
Runtz is the best candy in those machines♡
Doesn’t mean anything if no one is actually buying them.
20 years ago those maschines were everywhere in germany. Nowadays you cant place some maschines because they get raided, vandalized, destroyed in days.
never mentioned rental space amount ..gas ...maintained...its so So Much more dam
So long it doesn't cost more than it takes to buy the items, you'll always profit
Man really didn't label the peanut mandms
Do you have to pay the retailer?
I remember them when I was young. I always saved coins to get some prizes or candy.
Do you need a tax stamp on each machine?
Such nostalgia seeing these. I must pass them by most times. I’ll buy some candy next time I see one.
When i visited a town in another state, i found a gumball machine mixed with a foosball table. When you inserted a coin in it, it would drop a gumball and you had to use the bar with the player to push the gumball into the goal. if you did so you would get the gumball. I wish there were more like those
It'd be more profitable if you were wasting money buying the product from sam's club. Just buy straight from the manufacturer of those candies
You gotta buy whole bins of candy tho they are only profitable over long periods of time not a quick roi
What about the cost for your business license to operate those machines? What about the rental fee for the space for set them up in? What about the time you have to spend with health inspectors?
Did you guys have to contact the local Walmart or corporate office?
I hope these machines are cleaned. I just saw you pour more candy on top of older candy.
Some of that candy may go stale and it can make people sick.
I'd be more likely to use it if it said it was regularly cleaned. But even then, I don't think I'd let any kid I know touch them.
The thing I worry about in the vending biz is that profit over cost of goods and the actual volume of sales are 2 different things. How many men actually still carry coins on them these days? How much purchasing parity will .25 cents have in 10 years?
Yes, they are LOL My friend's front door goes right out onto the sidewalk and he had four machines there. they have gum, knock-off Skittles, hard candy fruit" like runts" for a quarter, and one with tattoos for fifty cents. he has to fill the candy ones up every two to three days. He has five school bus stops nearby. no one has every broke into them or smashed them
Prob at my work. We've been out of reeces pieces for weeks. Just waiting for the people to refill it.
What the hell? Just go to Walmart and buy a big bag of them....
@@Gameboy-Unboxings I just buy the theater boxes you can get at most places for $1 to $1.50
Wait until 2059 and a single nerds gumball gonna cost $60...
What about % paid to location? Fuel costs to maintain machine? Machine costs?
bro just admitted to ridiculously overcharging ppl
Question: 6 cents per unit and you said 19 cents profit. Won't you need +6 cents to replace the same candy? Doesn't that leave you with 13 cents profit?
Do you pay to use the space at Walmart?
So you make $5 profit per month? Unless you had literally 100,000 machines I can't see this being worth the time and effort
Hey how do you get your machine to dispense m&m at 1/2 oz I keep running into issues with deepening only 3 to 4
May just be the machine
Can you make a video about the insurance, licensing, and permits you need to own a gumball machine business
Um none
Hello! I just bought one of those machines and I'm getting ready to look for a location. How to I know if my machine is set up to vend half an Oz? When I put a quarter in a LOT of skittles came out and wanted to know if I needed to go in there and adjust it or not.
Hey there! Yes, it sounds like you need to adjust the candy wheel. When they arrive in the mail they are not adjusted for smaller candy and will give out a ton.
@@quikplayThank you for getting back to me! To be specific I counted 18 and 19 per vend and 6 peanut m&ms when I did a few test vends. I think the peanut m&ms are good but the skittles may need to be adjusted. How do those numbers sound? Once again thank you for replying. 🙏
I found that about 14 skittles is about half an ounce but to really be certain it is around half an ounce a food scale is your best bet for all candy.@@aloknight3656
Nice collection!
What do you have to pay the store to allow you candy machine in ?
can someone tell me the percentage of the profits?
it's late and I'm to tired to do the math right now
Good luck making any money on the Skittles with the lawsuit they're having
Last time I used the candy machine was at my Mall I just wanted some mnms I put in my quarter and only one piece comes out... It's not like I wanted to share or anything but c'mon.
Sure but the only costs presented in this video were supply costs. How about time, fuel, incidentals, etc.
Why.... is the one candy containing peanuts.. the only one not labeled.
Buy em at thedollar stores
Do you pay 💰 the location a time flat fee or a monthly fee?
Yeah... its a candy machine.... not a payphone...
"Persuasion increased to 100"
not as good as it once was, but as good once as it ever was
I ain’t hear a word he said. But Nerds gumballs sound really good
Not even worth "profitable" is a over statement you make prob 60$ if they all sell out witch mean you make like 2$ a day not worth the time and effort at all
dude completely ignored any potential rent costs not to mention labour, fuel, initial investment cost and lifespan at the bare minimum.
Gotta include gas for travel between locations
Tried nerd gumballs the other day, they're pretty fucking good gumball.
i remember going to a chinese restaurant and i saw a gumball machine wouldnt let it go mom had to drag me out. sad that the owners retired been going there since i was a kid
Nerd Gumballs? I need those. 😳
They’re the best!!
I have 4 machines but I haven’t had any luck in placing them
Hey! Have you tried Facebook marketplace posts advertising your services?
I think candy tastes better coming from a vending machine. Idk why. I'm an adult now so I can just buy a big tub of candy and eat it but it's not as satisfying.
Facts!!
I am planing to get my first triple head and I am going to put it in my local restaurant and my question is do I need a sellers lisence
no
How much are you paying Walmart to place the machine?
You can widen your profit margin by buying the candy in bulk. You get massive discounts for large orders.
I was just at a hockey camp where there was let’s say more then 100 bouncy balls inside.
The end of the week none where left.
It was $0.25 each turn and sometimes you would get two
I would love to have this candy machine at home for fun.
Bro put a nickel savage
And if you pay attention to your quarters you might find some very valuable ones.
As long as there are still kid being born and parents still willing to take care of their kids! Then u have no worries
Which kind of key do you use? Asking for a friend lol
....so, no discussion of costs for location, equipment, transportation, labor????
This is not how you analyze if something is profitable.
