gdono1001 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 A little background info first- My name is David and for the past few months I've been quite curious about the notion of owning my own candy route- keep in mind I'm 16 years old so I'd much rather spend my time collecting quarters than working away the precious days of my youth...I've always been the entrepreneurial type- Well as a few of you know, I bought my first candy machine last week- a double head. It turns out that the guy who sold me this machine has 20 others sitting in his garage for sale....for $450. Since I've been looking to buy candy machines for quite a while now, I've learned that machines for $22.50 a piece are not a normal find....especially when the bulk of the machines are NEW in box. Even better, I offered him $400 for all 20 AND extra parts (such as gumball wheels) and he accepted! $400 for 20 NEW double head machines? That's $20 a piece! I'm definitely not the type to buy a ton of candy machines at once on a regular basis before locating them, but at $20 a piece I don't know how I can go wrong with this. I have yet to locate the machines- I'm looking at going with Marjorie from MidWest with these. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hello David! Welcome, and I would like to say congratulations on your purchase, and your great find. You are a smart dude for starting at such a young age. Better that mc donalds. Do you have any pictures, what about brand? Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdono1001 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I believe it said silent salesforce on the top of the machines- they have metal coin mechs which is a must in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdono1001 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I think I'm gonna go with Marjorie for MidWest Distribution on these. From what I've heard she does an excellent job locating bulk machines. Has she ever located any machines for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
