Nice Hillbilly I really like the result. So how is you route going these days?

Thanks guys, My concern with putting candy in the hair salon is that I really wanted to not do any candy and just do bbs, gbs, and toys so my profit margin across the board would be high. I will do what yall have said and give it a try. I stil have 2 NWs that I just bought that have candy wheels in them that I can use for that location. I'm thinking HTs and something else...I still need to get a stand for them. If only I was as handy as Hillbilly...

Hey everyone I haven't been on in awhile but I figured that I would give an update. I went to service my first location for the first month. I was pretty pleased to take home about 17.50 from the location however after product and such it seems as though I'm only turning about a 20% profit or so...all the more reason for me to do toys. As for my other locations we will see I have 3 other doubles running BB's and Gumballs, one of those customers would like for me to switch out the toys and gbs for candy which I am very reluctant to do. Any thoughts? My plan for the immediate future is to scout out a place to put a rack in some things with say 2 NW80s and 3 NW60s. I purchased 2 used NW60s on ebay for a good price and just need to get the others to make the rack. Well anyways hope everyone is well....just thought I would let you all know how things are going. Thanks again for all the help.

Hey VVS, Who I am going to recommend to you happens to be the only person that I have used. When I decided to use a locator price was and is a huge factor in my decision making process. Eddie at EddieBauer Locating has done a great job for me, I purchased 5 locations for him (which is the minimum) for 150. I had the locations in a few hours and I was very pleased with them as well. Eddie only does charity vending right now so keep that in mind, but for those singles his services will work out great. Give him a shout.

Grats man. I hope it ends up being an awesome location!!!

You have one?

BTW is it a commission spot or charity?

Congrats!!!! I'm right there with you I just placed my first machines not to long ago. So far its a pretty cool business. I just cant stop thinking about all the other possibilities between bulk, full line, and amusement vending. Congrats once again.

I would prefer a used Shootin' Hoops machine but I'm open to all ideas. I just called impulse and their cheapest machine is $600. I would like to find a used machine.

Wow yea thats a little out of my price range for this place. I'm going to call impulse and a few other places on monday and see what I can dig up.

Haha I will, I work with him so I will be sure to ask him when I see him on Monday. I was just wondering because I knew he was in the BMX Hall of Fame so I figured if you were really into it you might know him.

Lol whoops, I knew that but for some reason I put "her" my bad kelly. Hey Eddie do you know of Cash Matthews?

Thanks have, I think those would work out really well for that location. Considering I have scoured the net and have not found a shooting hoops machine this might be the way I go. My only concern here is the price; do you have any idea what these cost?

Hey Eddie, I really like this new program that you are implementing into your business. I think it will go a long way in establishing more trust among your clients and could possibly change the way the game is done. So far I'm very impressed with what you have done for me so far the two locations I have placed seem promising (hair salon and a day care) and when I had the issue with the jewelry store you did an awesome job with the follow-up. It must be said that you are very very fast at locating, from what I have seen some people are waiting weeks or months to get some of their locations (I understand that not every geographic area is created equal) so it is very nice to receive my locations only hours after the order is placed. I must request that you think about doing commission locations or racks in the future (something to think about). I know Kelly is doing it and her prices are appealing and I have heard good things. Good luck have fun, Bigtay

Good to hear. It seems like there are alot of you guys from up north. I have spoken with him on here a few times and seems like a great guy, and he (like others) has given me some good advice so I dont make some newbie mistakes.
