labryan3 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I just bought a location at a motel with a huge 5 wide snack shack. I'm thinking of putting tooth paste and tooth brushes in it. Does anybody have some more suggestions for personal products as well as sources? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bvending Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We have a motel that requires us to have toothbrush/toothpaste, shaving kits and condoms. Also do playing cards at some motels. I can't remember where we order these from at the moment but I'll check into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labryan3 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Thanks for that. Another question? I have this manual machine that dispenses Advil, Pepto Bismol, Alkasetzer and such, all in those little 2 pill package. Anybody know where to get meds like that? Thanks Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecwatm Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 labryan, you can get some of those individual packs in 50 count boxes at places like sams club and bjs, and anything you cannot find there can be purchased on amazon for about the same price.

zjtaylor Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 What machines are yall using? These type machines seem quite expensive to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecwatm Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'm using older mechanical versions of the machines that are now selling for 6-700 dollars. I got mine for around 85 each on eBay a few years back. For 85 bucks I got a great deal but at the current price for a new machine I don't see anyone making money their money back in less than a few years.

I'm having a hard time getting much info. Seems like not many people are doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecwatm Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Not too much I'm taking in maybe 10 buck a month on each machine. Mine are placed in locations that I already have other machines in so it's worth it for me. If I had to go out of my way to fill them I don't think it would be worth my time.

labryan3 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 I have a friend who staple generic Advil and Midol and other meds in two per packages to a card to fit the column. Sells them for a dollar. they can be good for years and a heck of a profit. I'd like to find a cheap source for the little tooth paste tubes that you get from the Dentist. Also individually boxed condoms. The cheapest I can find are a dollar but my old mechanical wall mounted machine is set up for .75. So its just sitting there empty.

Ecwatm Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That's a great idea. Unfortunately my mechanicals are also stuck at being set for 75 cent. I have some tampon/pad mechanical machines out there and can't find mechs that accept more than 50 cents. I've had them forever and am sitting on like 450 pads and 200 tampons for years. Not a good seller at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
