Trading Card Vending Machines

King@James · Jan 10, 2015

Now there's something you don't see everyday, It was a rare occasion and I had a baby sitter so I went to the movies

As I was heading into Southland from the carpark I spotted this.

I had not seen one of these before. I saw some hobby packs of Prizm for $12 a pack, the most expensive pack in the machine.
Anyway I had to throw some money at it for the novelty of it. Didn't get anything from the pack as expected except for some base cards.

Maybe cards are making a comeback at a corner near you!

Has anyone else seen one?

Lol I'm surprised at the hight of the drop that the cards were ok, but very surprised to see this

Im always cautious of vending machine packs and those random packs you see in the clear plastic containers/shelves in mewsagents.

I think it would be the easiest thing in the world to bust packs until you hit the auto, then put the others out there in newsagents etc for a huge $7-$12 a pack.

You know theres no big hits in them and you still profit.

There are tons of scumbags out there who'd do it.

I think someone posted on here about it last year.

Anyone ever had any luck with them?

I've seen that same machine at Southland and there's also one at Fountain Gate. Pretty positive for the hobby to have them available.

Must be a nice money maker if theyre charging $12 per pack for a $60 box with 20x packs in it

I hope they turn up in Adelaide, Im sure that I will buy a ton of them.

Where at southland is it, I go there often and I've never seen it!

Does anyone have any idea who/what person owns it?

Looking at the ticket box for village, walk past it on the left hand side, then just before the escalator it's right there.

Some of those products (Nintendo, Dinosaurs, Batman) look ancient.

If they sell, it would make good money, I'm sure everyone knows it a bad idea but if you happen to walk past, you just pick up a pack

wow, i might have to invest in a vending machine too!

I think Prizm is more like $120/box, but even at that, that is a 100% mark up.

that was exactly my firs thought too

Coopz05 · Jan 11, 2015

I probably went with the lowest price possible, to make my point

Its $60.95US a box, but you're right, once you add conversion rate and shipping itd be $120ishAUD.

I was more thinking (if that was your business) youd fill each order with 20+ boxes and select the slowest shipping, so shipping equates to only a couple of bucks per box.

The new vending machines look very nice, here's what the old ones looked like:
