TravelByAnna Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi! I bought two gumball machines for way too much $ back in November. After I placed the first two, I realized that it is a good business, I just needed to get machines at a good price. I found someone on Craig's List selling 125 used machines. I bought those, and am now getting those located. I look forward to learning from all of you as we grow our businesses together! Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vend24 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Welcome, 125 machines, that is a lot! Good luck once you get them all located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelByAnna Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks! I am using 2 different locator companies right now, and plan to add in a third to keep things moving. I bought used machines. About 80 triple heads, and 45 singles/doubles. I started with the 2 gumball, and they are the "basketball- HotShots". Cool machines, but they don't make much more than regular machines, and I paid 10X as much for them, Live and learn!!! I will probably never replace my income with this business, but I want my kids (ages 12 and 15) to manage it and learn that there are more ways to make money than a typical job. I own real estate, a travel agency, and trade foreign currency. I also work a real job. I need to figure out what to focus in someday- but I love them all!!!! Anyway, that was more than you asked, but thanks for the welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
