Jay-Son Vending Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Good Day all, I have been in this business (with machines on the street) since April first. I currently own 16 8-Select Eliminators...15 on the Street 1 in the living room and 1 Eliminator plusn three 4 select on the way from e-bay. In late March/Early April I had a locator in town to place these machines...well locate he did and then he left...By late April I had moved 9 out of the 16..I moved one to the garage. With the 15 on the Street in April: We averaged $16.75 per machine.... In May: We averaged $39.80 per machine I will post June soon..I expect these to be better yet as I moved two other machines into a local sports bar chain(2 locations..with one being added in July/August) Of the 4 new machines coming in...I have two of them with locations...

dperry Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 It is the end of JUNE..and it is Quarter Time Again..... 15 Machines.....$613.80 Total ..... Avg: $40.92..... If I'm not mistaken, you have 8-select u-turns, right? If so, that would be about $5.11 per head. What was your product costs for the month?

Jay-Son Vending Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Darryl, Yes I do have 8-selects...But as you may be aware..not all items sell and some items sell better than others...The Bar units are selling almost everything I put in them(selections) so it would be difficult to change to a smaller machine...Other locations..the machine is the wrong size for the space so I will over the next few months change these out for 4-select. As for product cost...for the month it would only be the usage..so..I run about 8-9 cents per vend the profit is still good... That said...I am still working down the original setup for these machines which was a good $$ as they all had to be filled to be put out. I figured this into my original projections so that it will take me about another year to completely pay off the machines and the initial investment for the candy and the locators... Still not bad...imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Son Vending Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 T-Bird, Yeah...I do not want to lose the location...This month it rolled $85.00...I do not want to work off the gross I would prefer to work off the net...I have told him that I am at about 1/3rd for the product...That would leave me 2/3...I am thinking of offering him 1/3 of the net... What do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think you can try, but you probably have to give up the third of the gross. your not talking about much difference in the amount of commission. besides a location netting you $28 a month is still better than a $5 location. if you are giving him commission make sure that he doesnt allow any other charity machines to stay in the location. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo Duck Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 and my worst is 10.75..I pulled this machine yesterday..not worth the time to collect...1 .5 vends per day..whoo hoo...:XJay, rather than picking up your machine and walking away, think about downgrading to a single or a double and servicing on a 60-90 day cycle.

Jay-Son Vending Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Tstrong, Tried that..it was a small mexican grocery, I offred a two head but she said no..That is okay..I already found plastic quarters here once and for 10-15 $$ I am getting more locations from midwest, and this will save me from buying a machine..I have a ferw duds that I am upgrading...I wil put the NW 60's in when I can.

Outlander Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sounds like your on a roll. Does the Chicken Joint have enough traffic to support a rack that you could place toys and stickers on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Son Vending Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Actually, the Chicken Joint is the place that removed my machine and pit in one of his own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
