I'm thinking about possibly investing some money into those .25 or .50 games where you try to grab the a toy with a crane. I'm just starting to do research and thought I would post a thread to see if anyone else has invested into one of these machines or have any useful information.

I already have a location for the machine but currently trying to do some research such as which machines to look at and how to go about purchasing one. I also need information on suppliers of stuff toys too. If anyone has anything to say about this go ahead and share your .

have you checked out ebay? im also sure you can find a forum on google with everyone who owns some type of gaming/carnival game. i have a friend who does a vending machine business since he couldnt get a job after he graduated college. all he does is fill each one up weekly. each vending maching i think pulls in 3-400 a month. he leases the machines at like 30 bucks a month or something.

How much do you expect to make on just one machine? Is it really worth your time?
If you buy the machine its going to need to eat a lot of quarters to get your money back.

My cousin owns a grocery store so that's going to be our location. I know that it will take a while to make back my investment, but my cousin told me to look at the machien as an asset. When i buy the machine it'll still be there, so the only money that I will have to try to earn back is the depreciation and the cost to pay for the toys. I'm just searching for additional information to see if it's worth it or not.
