jpvending Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I gotta stop buying machines! Picked up 10 more Vendstars for $175 and a 'Candy King' (brand new) and 1500 27mm bouncy balls for $130. I couldn't fit another thing in my Cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEND NORTH TEXAS Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Awesome JP! Do you like the PT Cruiser? I am considering that for a used car in around March-ish. I have mixed feelings but for age of car, millage and cost...it seems to be one of the better options. Now, get those machines working! ;-) Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpvending Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Steve, I've had my Cruiser since 2005 (it's a 2003). I bought it with about 30K miles on it. It has never given me a single problem - never left me stranded. Well, it left me stranded ONCE when I didn't do maintenance on it (the timing chain/belt) but I count that as my bad...not the car's. I love the amount of room it has in it. You can remove the back sets entirely or you can just fold them down. We've had two full size go karts in mine at the same time, we've had arcarde games, and now we have vending machines. It has about 140K miles now and it's my secondary car. I don't own a truck so any time I need to pick up more than a couple machines then I take the Cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I am the same way......just bought 15 new (in the box) lypc triples for $50 a piece. Not a big fan of these machines but I couldn't pass it up. I may need to start a new TV show called "Vending Machine Hoarders". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetstop Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I sell about a pair of vendstars a week on ebay make almost enough to make my loan payment every month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nategeli Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I sell about a pair of vendstars a week on ebay make almost enough to make my loan payment every month Out of curiosity, whats the best way you have found to sell these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstop Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I sell them in pairs, they fit 2 in a box and ship USPS parcel post,shipping for the box of 2 is $16 to $26 depending where you are from maine in my case. I sell them on ebay rather than craigslist, I dont want to invite competition in my own area. the people that charge $40 to $50 on ebay is crazy and sometimes thats for one machine.

TKK Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I sold maybe 30 of those and half had problems. Not as bad as the older ford Taurus tho but goes hand in hand w the old focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vending4U Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm glad I have a shop that can store the extra machines until I got a placement for them... Now to find a cheap 4cyl car/crossover so I can stop using my 17mpg truck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
