andyrosen Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Someone locally is offering me several used Vendworx machines at a very reasonable price (see attached). My concern? I never heard of them before this opportunity as opposed to Seaga, Northwestern, and A&A, etc. From what I know, these machines come only with wooden stands. Single and double heads are available. I have several locations where these machines would be visually appealing, but again, I am wary of making this buy because I have no familiarity with it. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

West Coast Vend LLC Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hey Andy, I don't know to much about them but they really look good. They may be in the same class as XYZ, V-line, Pro-line, etc. I am not crazy about wooden stands but if you have places in mind that can use them, they will be perfect.

new2this Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi, Long story long. I purchased a double head Vendworx NIB off ebay about a year ago and placed it in a waiting room of a med clinic. The machine works great. It has never broken down, and I have never had to change the coin mech. I have never had a headache from this little machine. The machine cost me $51 plus $20 in s&h. I started reading several informative forums such as vendiscuss and realized these machines have gotten mixed reviews. Since I wanted to be a serious vendor, I decided to buy new machines from a company that received great reviews. I purchased 10 single head PO89 machines from aaglobal. All the globes were delivered cracked. The body edges were sharp. AAglobal replaced all the globes free of cost, however, after placing a few of the machines, I have had nothing but problems with the coin mechs. I will be replacing these soon before I lose all my locs. I am saying use your best judgement. According to some sites my decision to buy brand new machines from a quality company would be the way to go, but it wind up costing me money because I now have to replace the machines. The Vendworx which I purchased off ebay got mixed reviews, but it wind up being the better machine. Just my 2 cents. Coop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
