baxsonvending Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ok, I found on Craigslist an offer for 21 Oak Vista 300, they hold 8lbs of candy, with stands for $500. What do you guys think, good or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 depending on the shape they are in I would say that is a pretty decent deal. About 24 dollars apiece with the stand is pretty good. I would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 They are brand new, never on location just sitting in a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Then that is an awesome deal. The oak vista 300 if I remember right is $45 new. The stands cost anywhere from 15 to 30 probably so you are potentially getting a 75 dollar setup for 24 bucks. Jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedk Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 If they are new it is an outstanding price. A pipe stand from Amerivend is $27.00. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Baxson, Whats shipping? Thats a great deal as is. I wont cut in on you but if you decide not to jump on that let me know, I'd be interested. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 It is a five hour drive for me, but I grew up in the area so my father is actually going to go take a look at them today. Do the Oak machines say Oak on them somewhere or have something I can tell him to look for so that we can ensure it is Oak. I am going to purchase them today and drive up there this weekend to grab them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 It should say oak on the chute door if I am not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 what happened with these? I'm curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 what happened with these? I'm curious! Me too! And envious! :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well my father works in this guy's area so he is going to check them out this morning for me, and if everything looks good he will buy them. I am trying to figure out how to get them to me because I don't want to rent a car to drive them back. I hate driving! Anyways, I might have them ship them but if they are Oak then they will be mine pretty shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 if they are Oak then they will be mine pretty shortly. No need to brag! That is a great deal on Oaks. Your post prompted me to start checking craigs list. I looked on there today and found 3 newer coke machines with bill acceptors, 2 for $300 each and 1 for $350. Great thing is they are about 2 minutes away from me! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yeah that is the only catch on this deal, it's far! But hard to pass up at the same time . How do you like the soda machines? I had someone ask me to place one in their location, however, I worry about servicing them. Craigslist is the way to go though, I have found great deals on their for routes, machines, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well they are 21 brand new Oak Vista 300 with stands for $500 total. Going to get them on Sunday, so I'm pretty excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Congrats on finding that deal I wish I could find something like that...and that I had 500 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 what kind of stands were they do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't know the exact type of stands, just black but I am going to guess they were from Oak as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 when I get home tonight I will check thier catalogue to see what they run. Did the guy mention why he was bailing out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well my great deal turned a little sour, but still getting them. After talking to the guy a little more, he only has 7 stands and the 21 machines are set up as triples. So I'm getting 21 heads and 7 stands. But still for $500 that isn't to bad. Actually, he bought the route from someone else and he doesn't want to place the remaining ones. So he is just dumping them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Still a great deal JUST for the machines alone. If you need to dump some yourself let me know! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
