Is this an authentic gumball machine? (Meaning is there no way to get the gum out without putting in a quarter or being the owner with the key?)

Yes! It is a good gumball machine too,for it being portable. If portable is what your looking for.
227929
That is correct. A coin needs to be inserted or you can youuse the key to remove the top of the globe.

Yes it is. The bubble part is glass and the bottom is chrome and heavy. I have it in a school and the kids have not broke it yet. I've had it for almost a year. We have bouncy balls in it but I have done gum balls a few times.

Sorry I don't know where but you have a valid and smart concern.. however for what it's worth I am a chemist and makeup artist with love in quality of product, and observing the wear and tear the ink/paint is holding fantastic as well as the base and structure of the product itself. If any pieces had fallen off I would of brought it into the lab I work for and tested it under the concern that Bubba(my doggie and closest chum) might get sick from bad product.. I'm a bit obsessive yes :) And so..I think it's a great toy and crazy funny when the teeth face out. When you mentioned your worrie I thought, damn I should of thought of that. So hope this was more than thorough :) Enjoy!

No, it is preset for single quarter transactions only unless they forgot to tell me how to make it more, but, as far as I know, I don't think the 50-cent capsules will be able to come down the shoot like candy and nuts can. I have a large variety of treats that go in there, but I have not tried anything bigger than peanuts, M&Ms, chocolate mints, etc. Meanwhile, the single quarter transactions add up and are just as fun to collect on as I'm sure 50-cent transactions are. It won't hurt to try though. If they don't come down the shoot, then they are too big. As the saying goes, if you don't shoot, you don't score, so it would be worth giving it a shot.

I must have an older model, because ours doesn't have a key... Just pretend credit cards. We just push the large button at the bottom to get in.

Yes. The coin slot does not turn completely and the gumball does not drop. Then the knob broke off, so we can't use it at all.

It is just like a piggy bank. There is a circular plug at the bottom to contain and retrieve the coins. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry, but you would have to ask the thief who stole it! I had sent it as a gift to my son and he was robbed. I had, however, asked him if he liked it and he said that he did like it and used it a lot.

Just a guess: my local ACE HARDWARE had an impressive choice of specialty and vehicle keys last time I was there. If not, then I'd contact Bully to ask.

Coin part is easily turned off. But candy size is limited. I use jelly beans now which come out 6-8 per turn, but I tried dark chocolate covered coffee beans and they would get wedged in. I think they were about the size of peanut m&m;'s.

no I have not, but not a bad idea. when it gets all the gumballs out I will give it a try. I use this machine at home, me and the kids like having it here.

I am not sure. We don't have the packaging anymore and I didn't look for that information when the gumballs arrived. Maybe the seller can help with your question?

1" gumballs are too large for the machine to dispense.2/5" is about the largest you can go.

I think you could HOWEVER moisture might get inside the machine along with warmth and cause the Jelly Beans to stick together. I do not have a problem with gumballs because they have a harder outer crust. I would say "Give it a try" but have gumballs as back up. Hope this helps

This novelty item imported from China and both the machine and gumballs are made there. We do offer gumballs made in North America. If you wish to contact us at 800 853 3941 we can further assist you.

yes you can. the bottom of the gumball machine has a screwing hole for a stand to be mounted. its bigger than a size of a quarter. hope this helps.

Exactly. I don't think we can be assured of authenticity. Is it even legal to repackage a product and represent it as the original? If I were the Haribo company (or any other vendor this happens to), I would not be happy.

It's a pain. I struggle every single time I remove it. Basically I get a coin that fits best in the slot on the right lower side. I turn with the coin and pry my fingernail between the seam where the halves meet at the extreme right corner of the case. It will usually pops apart once you've wedged your fingernail between the halves.Maybe someone out there has a better method, if so I'd love to hear it too.
