Hey guys, I'm (hopefully) going to be locating three new machines in the near future. They're 2" .75 Cent toy capsule machines. I currently only have one machine placed, and it's been doing pretty well. I have a few questions for some of you more experienced folks. 1. Could you give an estimate for your success rate when trying to find a place for your machine? Like 10%? 30%? 2. What kind of locations are best? My machine is in a mexican restaurant, and I'm planning on targeting mexican restuarants primarily. 3. How selective are you about where you inquire

It's 10am on 1/28/15 and at 3:30 pm, I'm supposed to go look at 4 Office Deli machines to purchase. I wasn't given the model numbers. Just the serial numbers and a picture, which I attached here . There are 4 machines total. -2 machines are said to be working just fine and in a business park. (they need to be removed but they work fine) -1 machine supposedly has a bad compressor in the refrigeration unit. -1 machine isn't cooling the sodas. My questions: 1. What questions should I ask the sellers before deciding to buy? 2. Anyone know of anyone in the Ventura/ Los Angeles -
Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nathlye (pronounced "Nat-Lee"). I'm 25 and I live in Southern California- Ventura County, to be more specific. I have been wanting to get started in the vending machine business for quite a while now. I was even given a free 5' gumball machine to start out small, but it has just been sitting in my garage. My fear of rejection has paralyzed me quite a bit in the past. But, I'm here to work on that and get started. One step at a time, right? Anyway, does have any advice for a naive newcomer such as myself? Dos and Don'ts? Any advice is

Hi guys! I've been lurking around the forums for a few months, and I've finally decided to start building up a vending route. I read through the pinned threads, but still have a couple questions--for one, do any of you write up a contract for the store you're setting up in? And do you pay the person whose space you're renting in person, or through a different method? As far taxes go, did you register your business as an llc or did you use an alternative business type? I'm pretty new to this, so advice is appreciated!
