English Vending Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 There is a spiral in one of my locations and I would like to try to buy it. The owner has no contact info on the back, would it be uncouth to tape a note to his cash door asking for a call? Just wanting to make sure I don't make the competition right beside me mad!

PerformaVending Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 What's the worst that could happen? You have nothing to lose really- the worst the guy can do is say "No." or shoot you a crazy-high price. Maybe not even call you. I can't think of a way an "offer to buy" would be grounds for some sort of retaliation against you. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decaturjack Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I think KandyKing said that he puts stickers on other machines offering to buy the machines or the whole route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd appreciate having to clean up a sticker off my machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetstop Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I do it Not had any luck yet. I tape a note to the back of the coin door with my contact info. Just did it on friday, one of my best locs has a triple there with gumballs in it it always seems to be out or almost out and the machine looks kinda crappy. If I dont here from them I am going to approach the owner and suggest I will keep a gumball machine clean and full and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-It notes with an extra piece of tape for good measure. That's what I understood from the post, if we're reading the same one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
