Christmas In July New (used Machines are here) Eagles Have Landed

Well It is like Christmas in Big Red Land. I filled my little Pontiac with boxes that I picked up from my Pak n Mail store. Still have one yet to get and 3 or 4 more on the way. So I have began the Chore of pulling them apart and cleaning Them Filling a couple and getting them set up to locate. On the NW I got off of Craigslist. I wonder how they actually made any money with them the candy wheels were wide open. I will probably order some triple plates and some double plates to have one hand. So I have some flexibility in locating them adjusting the heads to the location. I did notice they all hold a lot more product then the vendstars. So If one or two of my check cashing locations are a big hit they will probably get some of these machines.

Next week I will probably do a Kandy King thing and See who finds the best locations. Give Locators are Us a call and have already talked to First choice. LRU is a little Cheaper so I might try them for The single BG I have and a couple of my Doubles and see what FCL can do with my Vendstars. I have one from all vending Locators I will probably pull and see what LRU can do It is about the same price as the fee for All vending Locators relocation fee.

Called Eagle and found out the Gumball wheel Riser etc.. was like 6 buck plus shipping. I will probably order 4 or 5. For my 4 ways and a few 50 cent mechs. I know 6 bucks is a lot cheaper then the the 10-20 I have seen on Ebay. Not worried about getting those located until Next month. I just plan on getting them ready.

Looking forward to running the route again at the end of the month. I do know I need to prep a couple of my extra vendstar canisters for a product change on a couple of machines. Swap M&I in for the Hot Tamales and see what happens. If that doesn't work will probably do Gumballs If I have success with the Gumballs at my Check Cashing places.

What I make on the route this month will probably go to help get the rest of my machines located. I worked overtime to help. I also on my Break worked out a couple of fliers to hand out. Same flier just one was geared for the Charity Candy and one for Rack placement. I also used Rob's Induction letter as a guide and did my own. I need to take my thumb drive down the the printer so they can download it and get them printed up

After posting on the board I will probably order some tubular key locks from wixzer and get my own key code. With a couple of keys. To help cover the Cost I will probably sell the old locks on ebay and see if I can recoup some of my money. I have 4 sets of 4 keyed alike and one set of 2 keyed alike. and a couple of singles. One I need to replace because i have to drill it out anyway. If anyone who reads this wants them 2.50 each plus the cost of mailing them. Half the cost of what I get one new seems like a fair deal.
