    What is your biggest advice for setting up a card vending machine business?

    • @Pokelotto_
      @Pokelotto_  2 месяца назад +1

      Have an online business first! It's definitely better to have some experience selling cards before moving to vending. Mostly just from a stock acquisition standpoint.

    Hi Pokelotto, this is such a great video have personally been thinking about starting my own but don't worry im not based in Australia.
    Just wondering if you didn't mind sharing
    1. How much did these cost and where did you get it from?
    2. How much does each machine make per week in profit?

      First step would be establishing your product lines. Then, get your supply chain in order to keep it stocked. Acquiring a machine shouldn't be too hard. There are some second hand ones available. But if you can't find one of those, you can get them new for about 7-10k each plus fees. The hardest part is getting a spot in vicinities. Most of them don't have space for machines, so might have to press owners pretty hard to find a spot! But if you can get in, it's definitely worth it!

    Hi, i am have 3 quite recent vending machines already running in a park with at the moment only drinking and food, but i am thinking of switching one of those in pokemon cards vending machines🙂 thank you for the inspiration👍🙂
    Any practicle tipps or mistakes to avoid for a newby?😅

    • @Pokelotto_
      @Pokelotto_  4 месяца назад +2

      Do the vending machines just drop the products, or is there a shelf that goes and collects them? If it's the former, people will definitely complain about their cards being dropped into a collection bin.

      Or how did you get yours, if I may ask?

      @Angelo.Tenshi my vending machines are TCN machines. They cost about $10k AUD, and come with all the bells and whistles.

    Is there any copyright licensing you have to attain for having a character on the machine?

      Pokemon is a bit harsh in terms of copyright for content, but they're pretty chill when it comes to using their iconography to sell their own products.

      Any of the US distributors would be where you want to get English Pokemon Products. Japanese products, you can find sellers on instagram primarily.
