Since this is the product of the Mnoren, or some other weird, inexplicable culture, you should have some of the products be rather bizarre.

Good point.

Imagine if one of these machines was stocked with cans of Coke, the only source of it in of your fantasy world. A wealthy patron with a sweet tooth might send teams to try to make it to level 10 and bring his favorite beverage back. They'd be like those slaves who ran down from the mountains with snow so that Roman nobles could make slurpees. Player characters might be hired to do this. Imagine a dungeon with no coins, gems, or small valuable items left in it, full of caffeine junkie monsters intent on mugging the adventurers. The empty cans might be more valuable than platinum, since aluminum is an extremely rare metal in most fantasy worlds. The costliest jewelry would be made out of old pop cans.

Here's a cruel trick: have the players find a coin covered with writing they can't read, or an unusual gemstone that they can't identify. If someone puts it into a TOMS machine, the readout goes up...and up...and up... They just threw away something that's worth millions! There is no coin return, but they can have a really big pile of overpriced supplies...
