dogcow Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 mechanical snack machines are a waste of money changing the price is difficult and the mechs are easily cheatable. plus you are stuck to .25 price increments and its quarters only. anywhere these machines make sense u are much better off with an honor box, in my opinion.

newheart53 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks DC, not many people offered any info on this subject? I shot him a 25. price figured I could use them as throw aways to get my foot in the door. He thinks they are real big money makers and couldn't take less than 45.00 ea. Any ideas??

BigRedvender Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Then ask to see the books if your buying the route he should have books on them. Even just a route ledger to know what sells and how well there doing. Also find out what kind of locations they are in. Resturant, Bar, Laundry mat, or parts store. If they do ok you would probably do just as well with a double or triple in the location. So your are buying the location and just flip the machines on ebay or CL again in a few months.

newheart53 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 There is no route only machines, and he,s had them in storage. I think he took them on trade and the guy he got them from blew a lot of smoke. He,s in another type business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
