You have a site that has agreed to a toy machine without agreeing commission! Well done. What can you get away with and keep the site secured from poaching? Most of mine get 25% for toys but I have a few really good ones at 30%

hi style,
thanks for reply. it's a long story re this site. I was thinking of 30% but that would probably make me shy away from good selling licenced capsules. I think 25% gives me enough margin to sell all.
cheers

Its not necessarily the licensed stuff that sells the best. My best sellers are Puppy Pals/or Friends, Neon stretch cords, 69mm mixed toys, foil balloons, flashing anything and fidget spinners. Some of these are dirt cheap. I find with the licensed stuff you are paying a lot for the brand name and end up with a really rubbish toy that doesn't sell. (bouncing ball heads are good though)

Hello style,
Thanks again. Good advise on the licenced toys. Can I ask where you buy from ? I have bought recently from star vending and toy/midland vending.
Cheers
