It going to basically come down to where the machine is placed. The more traffic your gumball machine faces, the better. The national average for any gumball machine in the vending business is 4 vends per selection per day. As with any average, your machine will do more or less which in fact will be the case.

We do not currently offer vending business loans. You will probably need to talk to a third party who can supply you with a credit loan. MBNA America offers a line of credit program which can supply you with cash up to $25,000, for more information refer to their site, www.mbna.com/loans/credit.html. Your local bank can offer you a similar service just as well, you might want to consider consulting with them as well.

Since the launch of our online store, we do not print vending catalogues anymore. The product line is changing much faster than what would be feasible to support a decent catalogue useful to our customers. Feel free to print out any pages from our site.

Of course, we have gumballs to refill any gumball machine that ever existed. You can find refills for your antique machine under our Carousel Machines section.

You have two different approaches on this issue. You either just go to the store and offer the owner a percentage of what the machine makes, lets say 10% - 33% or you can go through a charity program. When a charity endorses you as a vendor, stores usually donate the space in their store for your gumball machine and you contribute some of the money to charity. For more details and a list of charity organization which have vending programs you can refer to our locating page "How Do I Find Locations For My Machines?".

You might, please consult with your City Hall's Clerk as each state has it's own law on this issue.

some of our machines we can customize as they are produced under customer specifications upon ordering. There is an extra charge for customizing machines. Email us at info@gumball-machine.com if you would like to inquire about pricing on machine customization.

It's fairly easy to do that and we can walk you through it after you purchase your machine, or for some machines we can set it to "free spin" if you simply type that in the comments box when checking out. However, if purchasing for personal use, we support using the gumball machine as a piggy bank and not to make it "free spin".
