Topic	How many prizes can I win at the fair?
HaRRicH 09/09/19 2:40:16 PM #54:	ShatteredElysium posted... Honestly they probably don't mind you winning if there's a crowd, especially if you win easily because it makes it look easier to other fair goers and may encourage them to try more than they would have done otherwise If it were me running that game, I'd be trying to get you to win to show others how 'easy' it is to win. I imagine the cost/reward consideration here is if it costs them more for me to win a prize for $5-$10 (on top of my $10 entry fee) than if they miss their opportunity to influence enough other folks to pay that much money or more. So these snakes I've won from Bottle Up have all been from the manafacturing company Goffa. I have no idea what their bulk prices are other than what foolmo and Santa were talking about, but here are some of their prices: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Goffa/node/7959996011?productGridPageIndex=4 Not many things are under $20 on their Amazon page (skunk tails, dinosaur tails, plush soda bottles, ten-inch animals.....), and those are just for skunk tails you hang behind you. The prizes most similar to what I've won in the past before range from $70-$122 here. But that's on Amazon -- let's go straight to the source: https://www.goffausa.com/ https://goffatoys.com/ Oh hey, these are made in New Jersey -- wasn't banking on these being made in America. I've tried to go even more straight to the source for their pricing in bulk, but nobody's picking up my calls from the numbers their site provides...darn. Anyway, some observations after browsing this page: https://www.goffausa.com/plush.html *My snakes come in more colors! I saw the green one yesterday and may win that later, but also there's a red one?! Ya'll holding out on me, local fair...though to be fair, these snakes at the bottom are listed as part of their Small Toys collection and these things of mine are humongous. They have license toys with food companies. Tootsie Rolls, Dots, Junior Mints, Rita's Ice...just interesting to see food and toys join forces like this. I didn't really expect broccoli plush dolls, but I forgot candy and sugary treats get toys too. Speaking of Rita's Ice, I found some pricing https://www.goffausa.com/uploads/7/3/9/3/73931107/ritas_ice_2018.pdf These range from $1.75 each (for 144 of these -- $252 total) to $7.85 each (for six of these -- $47.10 total). There's still the individual pricing that would probably be sold in a retailer that would need to include their mark-up too, so...I dunno, $15-$25 dollars? They have inflatable plush dolls now. I'm used to thinking of them as either plush or inflatable, but, uh, why not both I guess. They have pricing available online too: https://www.goffausa.com/uploads/7/3/9/3/73931107/inflates_2018.pdf These range from $1.25 each (for 180 -- $225 total) to $8.50 each (for eighteen -- $153). I'm guessing individually in a store these would be more like $25-$35. While we're on pricing, here's a quote from their FAQ: How can I purchase your products as a business buyer? We only sell full cases to businesses. All orders must meet a minimum of $300.00. For business inquiries, please email us at [email protected]. They have poop emoji hats for all the shitheads out there. I checked out GoffaToys's site too and found similar snakes: https://goffatoys.com/collections/jumbo-size/products/jumbo-snake-soft-plush-64 This is $40 for smaller snakes with sadder eyes than what I have now from them. Looking over all these, I imagine ~$15-$20 individually is doing alright cost-wise versus buying in bulk from Goffa and doesn't hurt the game-runners much if at all in the long run. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T :* Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:927199542] in How many p...
