This live hairy Shanghai crab vending machine keeps the crabs at 5° C, at which temperature the poor crustaceans go into hibernation. When you insert money (according to the value stated) it will dispense a crab accordingly.
If it dispenses a dead crab, the machine's owner will give you three free live crabs by way of compensation.
A sign states that all the crabs in the machine are fresh: if the crab is dead-on-arrival, they promise to give you three free crabs.
Converted into yen, the prices for the crabs range between 120 and 600 yen (depending on size). By cutting out the cost of store personnel, the seller can offer the crabs at 30% less than the usual price. The Chinese man who came up with the idea for the vending machine enthusiastically declares that he is ready to consider offers if there is demand for his product in Japan.
The machine is also in Nanjing, and represents a major push in the always-complex business of live-crab vending.
