Peccato (per i pochi rifornimenti) allora perchè secondo me sono impianti bellissimi, sia come hardware che come presenza e IPLANET sta facendo molto bene.

Stopped at my local Kroger for some tea and bread. I was initially excited to see the machine getting restocked. Nope. All ETBs and booster boxes were being removed. I was told “high value items” will no longer be in the vending machines. I asked if this was just a local thing (someone was shot at a machine less than 5 miles from me), but the employee said this is a worldwide move. The vending machines will only have booster packs and booster bundles now. submitted by /u/RedditCheerleader to r/PokemonTCGCollectors [link] [comments]

I went into Kroger to get a few items and saw a Pokémon vending machine and someone was there and I saw they had 54 of 71 items pending at the machine. How did they do that? I’m guessing there’s a new glitch 😩 submitted by /u/Celmo101 to r/PokemonTCG [link] [comments]

Started back in the hobby during SWSH era, the days of having full shelves of 151 and Evolving Skies. Have about a ~5k collection of mostly singles from SWSH that were cheap at the time but have mooned since. Fast forward to today, stopped by a vending machine, 10-12 year old is loitering (hey hes a kid, I'll let it slide). Of course the machine is out of stock so I said hey stay here I live around the corner I'll be back with something for you. He's waiting for his grandpa to finish shopping. Get back to the store, he's gone. Grandpa probably heard him say some 30 year old was coming to bring him a gift, and didn't want him to wait... can't blame him lol it does sound a little weird. Find a mom with 2 little boys in her cart, give her my big stack of bulk, but not the nice cards I was going to give the 12 year old (the lucario promo and some other IR's). Turns out her oldest son who isn't here is having a pack opening party next week and she can't find any stock to buy him. Pull out the nice cards and say those are for your older kid. Nothing like making a kids day. So the new strat for going to the vending machine, I'm going to bring a nice single everytime and bless up the hopeful kid waiting in line for packs that probably won't be there. Happy friday ya'll. submitted by /u/Hour-Restaurant655 to r/PokemonTCG [link] [comments]

Won't go into detail on the exploit itself but it's been leaked and is probably easy to find exact steps, but this weekend I stopped by a machine that had an ETB and bundle available. Grabbed both and as I was checking out, 2 guys came up behind me and asked if I was good after this. I said yes, and after I finished they began the exploit. It resulted in my debit charge being completely reversed. ETB and bundle directly from the pokemon company for free. I can't imagine they'll let this one slide. Almost considering contacting support so I can rightfully pay for my products. submitted by /u/Thop to r/pokemoncardcollectors [link] [comments]

So I've been deep in researching the vending machine business for a while now and I keep running into the same advice everywhere. Buy a machine, fill it with snacks, find an office or a gym, collect money. Rinse and repeat. And look, that works. Kind of. For some people. But the more I dug into the actual industry data the more I realized that version of the business is getting harder to make work, and there's a completely different version that almost nobody is talking about. Here's what I found. The numbers first because they tell the whole story The US vending industry does about $7.9 billion a year. Global market is projected to hit $32 billion by 2034. Not a dying industry by any stretch. But operator count in the US has been shrinking at about 3.8% per year since 2021. 35% of new operators quit within their first year. And here's the wild one -- 52% of operators control just 7.4% of total revenue. So the market is growing but most operators are struggling or leaving. What's going on? The commodity model is getting squeezed. Chips and soda in a break room sounds simple but the best locations are already locked up by operators who've had those accounts for years. You're competing on price you can't win. The margins on standard snack vending run maybe 15-40% and you're selling products people can price check at the gas station down the street. That 52% controlling 7.4% of revenue? Those are the Doritos guys. There's a smaller group of operators quietly doing really well. They're doing things differently. The approach that actually makes sense to me I started thinking about what it would look like to build a vending business from scratch knowing what the data shows. And I kept coming back to three things. Different products Japanese candy, imported snacks, tabletop gaming dice, trading card packs, that kind of stuff. These aren't random -- they have something the commodity model doesn't. No local price reference. When someone sees a bag of chips in a vending machine they already know what chips cost. But a set of polyhedral dice from a wholesale supplier that you're selling at a gaming convention? They have no idea what you paid for it. You're not competing on price at all. You're competing on the fact that they want it and you're the only one who has it. Margins on this stuff run 60-75% routinely. Compare that to 15-40% on standard snacks. Different locations The good traditional locations are taken. So why fight over them? Boutique gyms, co-working spaces, laundromats (seriously underrated -- captive audience with nothing to do for an hour), specialty retail adjacent spots like comic shops or hobby game stores. These are all places established operators aren't really targeting. But the one that really got me thinking was conventions. Conventions specifically Think about who shows up to an anime con or a tabletop gaming event. They traveled to be there. They paid for tickets. They've been budgeting for this weekend for months. They are actively looking for interesting things to buy that they can't find at a regular store. That's about as good as a retail audience gets. And almost nobody is bringing a vending machine to these events. I've been to plenty of conventions and I've never once seen a well-branded specialty vending machine set up as a vendor booth. Have you? Here's roughly what the economics look like for a regional anime con with around 3,000 attendees: Booth fee: $350 Transport: $80 Product cost on a $600 inventory load at 60% margin: $240 Total in: $670 Conservative scenario -- 15% of attendees buy something at $5 average: 450 transactions, $2,250 gross, $1,350 gross profit, roughly $920 net after costs. Floor scenario -- half that conversion rate: About break even after costs. So the downside is break even and the upside is nearly a thousand dollars net from one weekend. Against a machine that costs $4-6k to get set up that's a meaningful dent in your break even timeline. And here's the thing about the event model I didn't expect when I first started thinking about it -- you don't have to stand there all day. Traditional convention vendors are behind their table from open to close, like 8-10 hours. With a vending machine and remote telemetry you can check inventory from your phone, walk the floor, actually enjoy the convention. That's a legitimately different experience. The branding piece This is the one I think most people overlook completely. A custom wrapped machine at a convention isn't just aesthetics. Convention culture is driven by content. People are posting constantly. A machine that's actually interesting to look at gets photographed. Japanese vending machine culture has gone viral multiple times just because the machines look cool. A well designed machine wrapped to match the event vibe, stocked with products that make sense for the crowd, in the right location -- that thing markets itself. Every photo someone takes of it is free advertising to an audience that's pre-qualified as exactly the right customer. Building a circuit instead of one-off events One event is a test. Doing the same events every year is a business. Convention crowds overlap a lot. If you show up to the same regional anime con every year with a machine people recognize and products they're excited about, you're building something. Returning attendees are already warm. Organizers who know you give you better placement. 12 events a year averaging $500 net is $6,000 from one machine running part time. At $1,000 average that's $12,000. Add a fixed location machine generating a few hundred a month as baseline and you've got something genuinely interesting going from two machines. Being honest about what this actually is It's not passive income. I want to be clear about that because the vending content on YouTube and TikTok makes it sound like you set it and forget it. Machines have to be moved and that's real work -- a mid size machine can weigh 400-600 pounds and getting it into a convention hall is a legitimate logistical challenge you have to plan for. Inventory has to be managed. Events have to be researched and applied to. Locations have to be pitched. 35% of operators quit in the first year and I'd bet most of them went in expecting something closer to passive than what they got. But if you're willing to do the actual work the differentiated version of this business -- niche products, event circuit, branded machines -- has genuinely wide open room right now. I haven't found anyone really running this as a deliberate strategy. Most of the free content online doesn't cover it at all. submitted by /u/justindukes to r/sidehustle [link] [comments]

This is insane. I am just returning to Pokemon cards now and the last time i collected, Unified Minds was still around. I found 4 vending machines in my area and hit them up at 6am today, each at opening with nothing in them. However i heard they restock on Thursday. Basically I’m asking for any tips regarding how to get any etbs or booster bundles from a machine. I hate that scalpers ruin it for the casual collectors like me, i remember when shelves would be stocked at Target when i was younger 🥹. Thank you! submitted by /u/Ornery_Ad_6063 to r/PokemonTCG [link] [comments]

Got an ETB last night from my local vending machine. Came out like this with a rip in it. IMHO I think this is the solution that Pokemon needs to implement. Small rip in the seal on each large item. It’s perfect because at the end of the day it’s still Pokemon product, it just no longer holds max value for scalpers and resellers. Anyways, brought it home last night and my son was hyped. Ripped it together 🤝 and then played the game. How it’s supposed to be. For the kids and the hobby. submitted by /u/bigbooblover6969 to r/PokemonTCG [link] [comments]

I was pretty shocked, not gonna lie. I love it so much (I’m a huge Diet Dr Pepper drinker) and he also gifted me five rolls of quarters to use in it 😂 I wasn’t allowed in the garage for a week. submitted by /u/freakouterin to r/MadeMeSmile [link] [comments]
