2bitsgirl Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi - New to the boards here and must say they are great. We kind of fell into bulk vending a couple of years ago and have 7 units in a great mall location. All of our machines are Beavers, but some of them are probably pushing 15 or 20 years old and are looking dated, particularly the gold trim. Anyway, we need to replace about 125 Beavers in the next 3-4 months. My question is how much wiggle room do I have in trying to get the best price when buying so many machines? Would love your thoughts and feedback in helping me get the best price possible. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 If you don't need the looks, then northwestern has pretty decent looking machines for less If you only want a quality machine that still looks decent, then oak, eagle,and aa global are still cheaper I believe beaver does do quantity discounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bitsgirl Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi - We need to try and stick with Beaver so the new machines will work with unit bases. We're trying to avoid remodeling them! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 if your talking about the stands, then these machines ive listed have the same mounting hole dimensions as beaver just unbolt the old ones and bolt the new ones on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandJGroup Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I bought a large quanity of beavers years back. They do offer price breaks when you buy in high volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you read between the lines of the OP, I think they are working with carts and do not need stands. That is what it sounds like to me since they have 7 mall locations. I could be wrong.

2bitsgirl Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Treadmill is correct, our Beaver machines sit on custom made carts/bases made of metal so we want to be certain that the replacement machines fit the existing holes. Called Beaver yesterday and they were closed for a 4 day Labor day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be willing to share a pic of one of your custom carts, I'm sure a lot of guys would love to seee what you are doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dromero Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Beaver actually offers discounts, but these are lame to the point of dismay. Lets say a normal beaver is 85 bucks. If you buy from 50 to 99 each one will be around 83.5 If you buy from 100 to 499 each one will be 81.5........You see what I am talking about.
