Ttuck666 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Does anybody recognize this machine, and is it reliable and worth to buy? http://https://s22.postimg.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuikVend Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Not sure on brand, but I know it's not reliable. It's not a matter of if, but when it will fail. I picked up 3 machines similar to that one for free when I first started. Placed them at a few of my existing locations, and within a well they all failed in one way or another.

There are typically slim pickens where i'm at but i don't want to buy junk and deal with it later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Yea, there hasn't been much around here recently. The deals are out there, just have to be patient. Where are you located? I feel like I've seen that ad before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttuck666 Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'm in Hillsboro Oregon which is about 25 minutes west of Portland. I don't have anything located yet, but i'm waiting to hear back from my brothers boss about putting a bulk machine in one of their game store locations. Working on getting my dn368 into a good enough condition to put in a location. There's a few minor problems i need to fix before i'm satisfied with it.

QuikVend Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Gotcha. If you plan on getting into the larger vending machines, stick with just cans and avoid snacks as long as you can. Much easier and better profits.Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttuck666 Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I've been doing a ton of reading the past few weeks since i found this forum and came to the same conclusion. While we don't have sales tax here in Oregon we do have to pay bottle deposit of 5 cents right now. Unfortunately It's going to increase to 10 cents Beginning of next year because of a low return rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I never thought about states with the deposits. We don't have to deal with it here in Ohio, but I'm sure it would be a pain to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57thTom Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Deposit is paid at point of sale and is listed on your receipt. It is just part of cost of product. After that every can with a bar code is worth a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzag Vending Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Is that point of sale wholesale or retail? ive always been curious about the deposit thing, especially since that one episode of Seinfeld. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzag Vending Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Btw, sometimes crap machines come on good stands. you may see machines for sale for $20 each that are junk, but if they are on stands and u need stands, may be worth it for the stands.

57thTom Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The Coke distributor charges Sam's, Sam's charges you, you charge your customer, your customer throws the can on the ground, homeless guy takes can to Wally World and charges Wally World and Coke pays Wally World when the driver picks up the can. I know a guy that survived for three years living in a tent on his food stamps and mowing lawns and shoveling snow for two houses. Some of his food and all other needs were paid for by collecting cans. He never slept at the Mission except when the temps got below -10 degrees. (Something about pride that he never had to steal to get by.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttuck666 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Here in Oregon all carbonated drinks and water bottles are charged a 5 cent deposit per can/bottle at purchase. We can return those to stores that have bottle return machines, but every place except for a few locations only allow 144 cans per person per day. There are always long lines, long waits and out of service machines for what amounts to only 7.20$. That's why we have had such low return rates for the last couple of years because it's simply not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take cans and bottles in bags from Coke that are marked. In that pile are 10 bags of 240 twelve ounce cans and 5 bags of forty 2 liter bottles. 240 * $.10=$24*10 bags=$240. $4*5 bags=$20. The bottles and cans that I can't fill a bag to the line with the right count we'll take to Walmart and run through the machines. Walmart has a limit of $50 a day per customer, so I'll have to split the reciepts and have someone else cash them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzag Vending Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thats not bad. the limit may suck but i did the math and weighing. we dont have deposits in Kansas, but @ 35 cents a pound scrap, each can is worth roughly one penny. so ten cents a piece would be great. especially if u were picking them up for free and werent ones you had paid deposits on.
