Anyone in bulk vending will tell you that gumballs are the most profitable product that you can put in a vending machine. This is how you calculate the economics:

1. Average cost of a case of bulk gumballs purchased on the Internet is $45 (this includes shipping).

2. Number of 1 inch gumballs in per case is 850... in industry jargon, this is known as "850 count". A case weights approximately 17 pounds and can fill an average size gumball machine head 2 times.

3. Average cost per gumball is $45 / 850 = $0.05

4. Selling price is $0.25

5. Calculating your profit: Sale Price of $0.25 - Cost of $0.05 = Profit of $0.20

6. Calculating your margin: Profit of $0.20 / Sale Price of $0.25 = 80%!

Wow! Now who wouldn't want to sell a product that has an 80% profit margin?

Sell only one case of gumballs at 25 cents each X 850 gumballs and recieve $212.50 in revenue! After your cost of $45, this leaves you a profit of $167.50. All that for doing almost nothing. One machine placed in the right location can easily turn a case of gumballs every two weeks. Mulitply that by 10 machines and you get and extra $3,350 in extra income per year! Add more and you get the idea.
