Hi Tyler,
Thanks for purchasing my version of the Ring In Gumball Machine. You gave an excellent review and I appreciate it. The reason spectators are amazed during a performance is that it is the same commercial machine that’s in every store in the country, everyone is familiar with the machine, Dropping it is not good but it will survive, it’s manufactured for every little kid to pull, bang, turn the coin handle with all there mite and attempt to destroy it to get at the prizes inside. The reason I use balloons is it’s very colorful from a distance on a stage and the balloons cover everything going on inside the machine, I felt that using rings invites the volunteer to look closely at all the rings inside the prize compartment. And any magician can also purchase the machine with an add on for a coin slot that will accept Pesos Now for the reason that the gumball machine is $650.00, it is not because of my creative juices and greed! When I first assembled the machine I was selling them direct on the Café and other magicians websites to magicians around the world with great success for around $450.00. About six years ago, Murphys Magic contacted me to purchase the machine in quantities at a wholesale price. It was much easier for me to send Murphy’s 20 machines and collect a check then it was to go to the post office every day and stand in line to send one out. The negative result of selling the machine to Murphy’s Magic was the markup and the shipping. Murphy’s purchased the machine from me; Murphy’s paid for shipping the machine to them, Murphy’s marked up the price they paid me for there profit and sold the machine to dealers adding a bit for the shipping they paid UPS for the machine to be shipped to them. When a machine was sold by Murphy’s to a dealer, the dealers paid for shipping the machine to them; who again marked up the machine for resale and added a bit they paid for shipping. Most dealers sold the machine with free shipping, well nothing is free so with the dealers markup the price they paid to Murphy’s for dealer profit, plus a little bit for shipping the machine to the magician, the result was a $650.00 machine. Three profit margins and three shipping charges were paid out before a machine was sold to a magician. Tyler you are 100% correct the machine was pricy at $650.00, and you suggested that the machine should be $550.00…. Recently it was decided that Murphy’s Magic will no longer be the exclusive wholesaler of the Buzz Lawrence gumball machine and I’m again selling direct to magicians. So after careful consideration, and number crunching, the new price buying directly from me is $525.00 and I’ll pay the shipping. Buzz Lawrence 415.816.0099 call & text buzz@buzzlawrence.com PayPal & Venmo accepted Tyler if it is possible to amend your video to update the new price, I’d appreciate it greatly Of course I need to add this statement. Because of California’s Proposition 65 any California magician purchasing my machine must be aware that the gumball machine may cause Cancer, the rest of the world need not worry, the machine won’t hurt you |
