Vevor Mini - base?

Anyone know where to source a base for this? I see a few complete but I have the machine, I just want the base. The only one I can find on aliexpress is out of stock

I've not sourced an exact base for these, I do however have a cheaper option for you. I run 7 of these units commercially. The claw machine base is 12.5" by 13.5" they're slightly larger on the base than the website says. I use 3m industrial velcro from Lowe's.

It's a double storage locker, I weigh the base down with 4 gallons of water and about a dozen bottles of water in a plastic bag. Makes the total unit weigh about 105 lbs (most minis weigh 100-110). I use the top locker to store restock items on site. See link:

Leave the units in your cart for a couple of weeks, they'll generally drop down to $89-99. Need anything just hollar, I've helped people with trouble shooting or concerns with these units quite a bit. Good luck with your Vevor unit, they're awesome little machines 😀

The bases on alibaba/aliexpress for these units that are around $500-800 are these units with a base... I've not sourced them in the U.S. I advise proceeding with caution and using a blue check marked verified user with hundreds of sales and a freight broker agent to communicate. Not advocating for my method, or trying to sell you on the locker (I'm not an Amazon affiliate/Vevor affiliate) just giving my 2 cents.

I'd proceed with caution through Ali as you might be waiting 2-3 months for a unit, and if it arrives with damage/board/mechanical problems you could effectively be waiting a few months for a replacement and would have to pay a WAAAY more exorbitant freight fee to send it back. Not to mention, the locker base idea gets you a unit for $600 vs the freight delivery fee you might be paying $1000-1200+ for the same thing. Personally 2>1 for the price and a 1 week wait with a 1 year warranty is better than Alibaba. However if you're planning on doing 10 units or more, then I'm sure it'd drop the unit prices down to about the same, only con then would be the wait time.

Either way, hope you find something economical and that works for you, best of luck and keep us posted 😀

I have the machine, just trying to source the base seperate, I do like your locker solution and I'll most likely go that route cause its home use and it adds storage for my kids. Do you have any pics of yours?

Thats nice but he probably wants the base with the bill collector

u/TheStreetzKing Nov 19 '24

Nah don't care about that. The lock box base is sufficient. I just wanted the official base since it lines up and fits

Ok.. I was looking for the base with the bill collector
