Anacapa Vending Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I don't think you can add pictures until you have done a few posts. FYI we need a lot of info to give you good advice. Mainly exactly what type of equipment make/model, pricing, asking price, sales records, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid name, but they got the rest of it right for the most part. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mage Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Images can be linked from other sites. They can also be uploaded to the gallery. There's a limit on the amount of image storage, and linking doesn't use any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 This is hardly a "route" but is simply 3 locations. The machines are decent. I say decent because the USI is an older model as it the DN 6 select can machine (DN276). The best machine is the Vendo V540 because it's multiprice and capable of selling bottles and cans. The last machine is either a Royal or a Dixie Narco (the seller can't decide) and it's possibly multiprice but impossible to say since it's set up with one price. The seven selections means it's got 8 columns but the Coke door makes the top selection button control both columns 1 and 2. The sales are horrible and is likely why he says you can move them if you want to (of course you can). The sales, using $450/month as an average, is $5400 per year. However, because he doesn't say what his other prices are you really have no idea what his margins might be. You can really only value this by the equipment value and under no circumstances would I pay more than $4000. Realistically the machines are only worth about $3000-3500 so that is what I would offer - including any coin in the coin mechs and inventory. Negotiate from there, but remember that you'll need to find better locations for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Be very careful on the location, as everything almost is oilfield related there as it is in Louisiana and a bunch of my locations has laid-off, cut-back. I managed to secure a few more locations not oilfield related. Hoping to survive this turn-down here in our economy. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
