Starcat Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 i think i have purchased every machine at a reasonable price in my area, which is in washington state, near tacoma. i have used facebook marketplace, letgo, offerup, ebay, craigslist.. are there any others i should be checking? every now and then i see someone with like 50 vendstars for sale but they want 100$ a piece for them. no way.

QuikVend Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Sounds like you only have 2 options. Keep searching all those places or expand your search area and go for a road trip. Also, make sure you're using all the possible search terms. What are you using to search? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigzag Vending Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Usually i just type "vending". U get alot of results u wont care about but u wont lose any for being too specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've noticed machine sales aren't very predictable. Sometimes there's nothing for months, then pops up a huge haul for cheap. Sometimes you have to travel an hour or so like Quikvend said. But when i've needed machines and there was none, I just bought straight from oak. Eagle sounds like a good next choice. Have you already placed all your machines or you just trying to build up a stockpile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to locate the oaks/northwesterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I used to go on "road trips" all the time for machines. If you are on Craigslist, there are a few search keys which yielded me some pretty good finds- A few good ones are capsule machine, toy machine, gumball, dispenser, giant gumball, and pretty much any variation of misspellings on "machine" and "gumball". You might be surprised what's out there. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
