Rubber bouncy balls have been around for many years and is a favorite with almost every kid. Rubber balls are also called by the names, "bouncy balls" and "hi-bounce balls." Regardless of what you call them, I have found them to be a consistent money-maker for my bulk vending machines.

Bouncy balls will not ruin or go bad like candy and gumballs. Therefore, you do not have to figure spoilage into your cost of operating when you sell toys like bouncy balls. Typically, you can buy the rubber balls in packages of 250 for 4-6 cents each for the 27 millimeter (one inch) bouncy ball. Many other sizes are available, but the one inch seem to be the most popular.

Bouncy Balls should be considered as a product choice in places where children can often be found. Such places might include restaurants, clinic waiting rooms, and general waiting areas. Some local or state government areas may also be good locations as parents frequently must bring children to these places to take care of personal business.

If you are a bulk vending operator and you use a vending locator to place your machines, be sure to inform the vending machine locator you wish to use bouncy balls. Some vending locators are only familiar with machines using gumballs or candy.

Please be aware that Vendstar vending machines will not vend rubber balls. Northwestern, Seaga, Beaver, and 1-800 vending machines will all vend bouncy balls. Generally, any machine that will vend a 1" gumball will vend a rubber ball. Northwestern and Beaver machines also have the capability with their larger machines to vend much larger super hi-bounce balls. With a Vendstar, you are stuck with gumballs and candy only.

If you have vending machines, why not try to sell toys by starting with rubber bouncy balls? Maybe they will be the same good money-maker they have been for me. Good luck!
