bayouvending Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I was thinking about getting some racks and was wondering if this was a good deal. I can get 3 four way racks with oak vista cabinets. 3 are set for bulk candy and one is set for gum ball. He was asking $600 but I talked to him and he went down to $450. Is this a good deal? Ideally I would want to change two to capsule wheels with 50 cent mechs. These would be my first racks and I really want them I don't even know know to go about locating them lol.

sherlock Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Oak Vista Cabinets are fine machines. But, the set-up is not ideal -- not many places would justify a rack with 3 candies and 1 gb. So, you are right to already consider changing AT LEAST 2 of those wheels to vend capsules. The price is also too high IMO. Even if the machines are in good condition I would pay closer to $200. Now if the rack stand is something above-the-norm like Beaver J-Stand or something, then maybe I'd go up to $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouvending Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 $200 for all 3 racks? I was pricing switching them over and it would run $40+ a head to convert them where I need them. These are the first racks I have seen come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Sorry bayou...I didn't understand your OP. So, the $600 was for all three racks? Assuming the racks/machines are in good condition, I think that's a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouvending Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 $450 for all 3. I didn't think it was too bad just wanted to make sure. I have some oak doubles and I like the machines. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the first racks I have seen come up. 40 per head to convert to cap and .50 ? Should not cost that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouvending Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 I haven't called oak directly yet but there is a supply place in my area I think 50 cent mechanisms are $28ea and the capsule conversion is $13 or so plus tax. I will call oak on Monday and get a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbuford Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Always buy direct from the manufacturer to get best pricing. I can't stress that enough! ALWAYS BUY DIRECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. That is unless HA or someone is gonna help a brother out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
