For those of you with a claw machine, where do you typically get your plush toys from (assuming that's what you put in it).
Where to get plush toys for crane?

I don't have a claw but if you want to buy in bulk, gumballs.com is a great place.

Rhode Island Novelty, Redemption Plus, Manley Toy Direct (Sounds like they sell adult products...), Oriental Trading. Those are the ones we use at my arcade (the one I work at, not my home arcade 
).

Ive been getting (for free or cheap) peoples collections of beanie babies. Most folks took care of them because, well, they thought they were worth someething, and the prices are usually pretty cheap, plus the quality is 100% better than that chinese plush.

Here in SW Mich,(when I had crane games)I would got to Dollar Tree. Everything was $1, even nice plush, and decent trinket toys good for cranes. Sometimes they had some small plush in a bag/ 4-5 animals for $1.

i got a couple boxes i got at an auction once, 48 per box, pm if your interested
A&A global, redemption plus, and rinovelty.com (ri novelty)
dont buy from reseller sites (gumballs.com)
frankly i dont bother with plush , the COGS is too high to make money
you need to set ur win ratio so high to make money that you end up losing
it because people dont play because they arent winning much. you can use
low qualtiy plush but it doesnt sell very good except the seasonal stuff.
i use knobby balls mixed with some leader items like 5" basketballs micro footballs
puffer and flashing balls and premium plush. keeps my cost of goods to about 2%
with a win ratio around 1 in 4. my accounts like it to because it means a huge
commission for them as i pay off net not gross.

Really convenient since they are right around the corner
and I don't have to pay for shipping.
