AZVendor Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The first one is a Royal multiprice - snap it up at $250. The second is an older Vendo single price. For $100 I'd get it for the coin mech, validator and compressor at the very least. If it has plastic rotors then it is a good machine. The third is another Vendo but it looks like it's multiprice. It could be a GII but I can't tell. Good at that price for the parts at least. The fourth one is a Coke Chameleon door, probably a Royal. Funny how they say "excellent condition" and it looks horrible from the front. It will be a late model machine and you should check with the bottler to see if it's stolen before buying it. That could be why it's $300. I have labels for it if you buy it. The dolly is an excellent buy and should be the first thing you get so you can move all the other machines with it. It has the overhead hook which is superior to the wrap around straps. I use two sizes of this model dolly and it's tough as nails. It looks like you better get your butt out and get some accounts, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendors Tech Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Don't get that Antares mechanical machine. Those are no good, do not vend well, and have very low capacity and will not do well at a decent location. Antares went out of business a while back, I don't even remember when, and there was a reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondog Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The first one is a Royal GIII - looks to be the 804. I own several of these, same graphics and all, great price. Number five looks to be a GIII as well, probably the 660 and a good buy at $350. The Dutro dolly is a no brainer - I'd have already bought it by now but I'm 1,500 miles away. And last but least - I find it odd that the Antares is the most expensive machine on your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry1973 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Good idea, sounds like you have plenty of equipment right now without homes. Dollies like that one don't come around every day, and they are pretty expensive to buy new (over $500 http://www.dutro-handtrucks.com/index.cfm?mf=browse.showpart&partClassID=1163 ) I don't think you will regret it.

TKK Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Found one more wants $400 obo for both. I think I'm getting the dolly any 4 more machines I'm guessing the royal http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/bar/3969120772.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm getting the dolly any 4 more machines I'm guessing the royal http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/bar/3969120772.html If these two machines work, I would say $200 each is about right. The left machine is a National 141 with a validator cut into the door. The USI has an F80 board so its from the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vendors Tech Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Is this machine any good http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/for/3960029919.html Its an excellent machine as far as quality and reliability goes. You can have an issue or two vending certain sized bottles until you get the shimming process down. Its either a Dixie Narco 5591, or the older 2145. That's all I used to use for glassfront sodas on my route, and I loved them. Found one more wants $400 obo for both. I think I'm getting the dolly any 4 more machines I'm guessing the royal http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/bar/3969120772.html I personally would keep my eye out for something better than these. I never have cared for USI, and the National is a 146 with an add on validator. I've never seen that configuration for a 146, which means its probably an older version. The validator should be below the display and keypad. Anyway they're just old, wait for newer. Looks like you have no shortage of machines for sale in your area right now.

AZVendor Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Is this machine any good http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/for/3960029919.html Yes the Bevmax 1 machine is a good machine if you know how to properly shim the individual products. It appears to already be upgraded to MDB, tall gates and product pushers. You will want to verify it is cooling well and if the drop sensor works as far too many people cut the harness because they are too lazy to properly adjust it. The one thing to look for on any Bevmax 1 is to pull the product recovery unit (where you pull products out) and look at the style of condenser. If it has a sideways condenser that faces to the left, pass it up. That will be an early 2054 and the cooling unit is not removable if it goes bad. Otherwise, this is a good deal for $600. You can remove the Snapple graphics and have a black machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 The guy on usi and crane said he'd take 350 for both I think that's a decent price I know I can sell them for more if I don't use em. They look better then some I have like polyvend and Ap 5000 and Ap 7600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look better then some I have like polyvend and Ap 5000 and Ap 7600I'd look to use them to upgrade existing locations that make enough to be worth it. Dump the 5000 and the polyvend. The 7600 is worth rehabbing, including paint and vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 So I went for.the deals. Dolly is great just don't know if that hook with strap goes in what edge of the Vending machine. I like how it has a brake and pop.up wheels but you kinda have to pull that lever and kick it a bit. Heavy and well built. Paid $180. Then I thought the snack machines were in the same town as dolly he'll no it was another 2 hour drive. I drive a total of 12 hrs. Loaded them up all work great. An hour before home I hear a noise. Then I feel something drag. Get off to see my trailers fender is bent and a tire exploded. I took the trailer off loaded the dolly and hid the trailer w the snack machines on the side of the road. So I'm waking up in 4hrs and try to find a spare.does anyone know if Wal-Mart caries them? I don't know the lug pattern but it's a 6 lug 235 75 15.

falls Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 You only need to know the lug pattern if you need a new rim. 235 75 15 seems to still be a common size for the US WalMart have several, but based on price I'd look at the Goodyear Wrangler Radial Tire, P235/75R15 for $82 or the Hankook Optimo H724 Tire P235/75R15 XL for $88 the second has a longer mileage (70,000 vs 50,000 claimed miles) and has a higher load rating (2205 vs 2039 lbs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondog Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Check the age on your tires - they tend to delaminate after about ten years even if they've still got good tread. I had this happen on my van awhile back and yes, it was pouring rain the day the first on blew on the freeway (what fun). I replaced them all even though they still looked good.

TKK Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 so i found a guy selling 15 snack machines. he will deliver for free. he is 150 miles away. he is asking 500-800 per machine, or $6,000 for all 15. im sure i can work him down as hes negotiable. but whats the point of even doing 4, 5k if they suck. first of all i have 10 machines in my garage right now, 7 snack 3 coke. which they will be purchasing 6 this week. i have been flipping machines for a while now, (get em for $2-$500 and sell for $600-$900). i do want to keep some for when i find accounts so im getting rid of my junk, like the ap 6000 or 5000 and etc. i really want machines with dual sporals as i never have problems with them. anyways so i dont need 15 machines right now. and if i buy them to resell im just giving more people chances of getting new accounts and competing with me anyways he sent me pics of all of them. at 5k for all 15 thats very cheap. $330 per machine delivered. i want to post the pics he sent and maybe you guys can tell me which ones i should get maybe ill just buy 5-8? here we go... i know ill pass on the old looking gold ones and the red one with hole puncher style spirals, and that polyvend..he says they all work 100% coin mechs and BV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
