dperry Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 As I had stated, I have created a gallery of vending machine photos. They are of my machines, or ones I've found out in my travels. http://www.houtexvending.com/gallery/gallery.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserri Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Craig or Frank I would like to be your first customer on a sizeable order if you can make these. I dropped this "not so subtle" hint thinking that one of them would rush to get these to market first. Now it seems we have another member working on them to share with the group. Talk about lost opportunity Craig and Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it seems we have another member working on them to share with the group. Talk about lost opportunity Craig and Frank. Sorry about that. Haven't been on here for the past couple days. According to that pic, the 75 cent mech for that machine has it depositing the 2 quarters on the right side. My labels are for the left side: My Site A&A Global also sells their labels on the left side: A&A Global Maybe someone can tell me which side is correct, or maybe different machines have different styles in their mechs. If the later is correct, it would be hard to get the right picture for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VendStartup Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Has anyone talked to a place about setting up a machine before they registered their business? I am about 3 monthes out, before I am going to register my business. I am waiting to pay off some bills first, and I figured I would just save some money and wait up until after new years to register my business. Would it be foolish for me to go out and talk to companies about starting a location their before starting my company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacho Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 You are correct sir. The NW's have the 2 quarters on the right. The A&A has the 2 quarters on the left. I have to be careful when swapping jammed .75 mechs . That is kind of odd, in that A&A seems to incorporate Northwesterns designs. Thank you for that info, gumballprince. Guess I'll have to make two labels and offer and option. I'll post a rough draft in the labels and graphics section when I get it done. I don't want to highjack this thread from it's original topic.

dogcow Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 i have a locating situation maybe u guys could give me some advice. ive been trying to put in some crane games. now i was just at a laundry this morning. they have a broken arcade game in there its been broken at least a month. i told them why not replace it with the crane at least you will make some money. she said her husband is gonna fix the game and they dont have any more room (its a small laundry). what could i have done better to close the deal? anyone have suggestions? should i have offered to buy the broken game off them? I assume in bulk you hear "not enough floor space" a lot ...how do you overcome this objection. i told her "surely you have 4ft of space somewhere that isn't making you money " but she said no. they have no bulk equipment either except a bouncy ball "sports game" that they own thx fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And quite possibly may have been in the past. They want to make all the money. Thereby owning their own machines. Move on, nothing you can do here. Even if you talked them into it they would want such a high commission it wouldnt be worth it. Just my .02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will.vend Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 ask them to let you leave it for one month on a trial basis, after the month is up if they arent satisfied, pay them their commission and move on. usually this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my .02. thanks, i told them a 50/50 split ... u might be right but right now they are earning nothing with the broken game LOL also my crane equipment is metered, but i didnt mention it...you might be right ill make sure to bring that up next time. ask them to let you leave it for one month on a trial basis, after the month is up if they arent satisfied, pay them their commission and move on. usually this works i said something like that...the thing is this. they DONT have room if you look around their mat. but what they have taking up the space is an old pac man, a broken street fighter,etc... i was trying to figure a way to convey that even 50% of crane game revenue is prob more than they are making from a beat up old pac man thx for the advice guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 ok this is becoming the most common objection i have been hearing this week "we have no room, we own the existing equipment" ... ive heard this from a few laundromats i pitched this week and a mexican restaurant i just pitched today ( i eat there almost every week). now in that case they had a triple candy machine, a "rocket ship" gumball machine and a wowie-zowie gumball machine. I pitched them a 50/50 split on a crane or coin pusher. I asked how much is the equipment you have making you, you could make more from the commissions than you are making and he just kept repeating,we have no room for new machines. surely i cant be the only one who keeps getting this objection do you guys just pass on these locations of have you ever successfully pushed out equipment the location owns?

dperry Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This one is a dud. Keep looking for new locations. That being said, I've repeatedly attempted to locate machines at some locations that I've targeted. Unless I get an absolute no, then I will try again every few months. Most objections are the typical that we've all heard...."The owner isn't here", "There's no room", etc. I'll keep trying, but once the decision-maker says no, I move on and don't think about it anymore. The converse is also true; I've targeted a few locations, trying to get machines in there. It would take me months to be able to get to the decision-maker, then to get him to say yes. Then I'd put in my machines, and they location would do luke-warm at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberframe50 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I always think that is just BS when they tell me they own the equiptment, it is an easy way to get rid me. Daryl, yep had what I though would be great. It took me a year to get in there. WOW it did a solid 5 per month. I didn't stay long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w2wUJ44y Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I got a close up of one of the stickers. You can't see the url, but it says nen-inc.com. I made a similar version of this for 25 cent machines. Feel free to use it as you'd like. If enough people want it I'll make a version for 50, 75 and $1 machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
