joebob051977 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Weird, Is there something about the 26-33 age range that makes us want to get into vending. We must all be at the stage where we hate working for other people or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxxtreme Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm 25, and I've hated working for other people since I've been working for other people. Now that I have 2 kids, I'm finally motivated to get out there and make some $$$ ! No more sailing along, hoping for a 5% raise every year! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summit Vending Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I worked for an auto supplier in Detroit for ten years before I seen the writing on the wall and took a buyout. I'm 34 now and wish I would have got this started 14 years ago. As all of you know working for another doesnt give you security. I believe you have to create your own security in todays economic climate. But I'm happy in the fact that I'm finally closer to creating my own security for myself and my family.

flipside Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I sell candy at my school, one of my freinds said that we should get a machine placed at my school, that never really worled out but it gave me the idea for vending. I also do another buisness, online travel. Between the 2 I'm hoping to make enough to support myself when I leave college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississippizip Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'm 27 and just purchase my first 4 machines on ebay yesterday and today. I want to be a multi-business investor. But with no money and have to start small. So I started researching this a couple weeks ago (idea came several years ago though). Figured spending $500 to start candy vending was better than borrowing $250,000 to open a smoothie franchise with a whole lot less work and committment and will probably still pocket the same about of 'salary' at the end of the first year - hopefully. I also need some extra cash to finish renovating my house. Hope to retire from full-time working for some one else in a year or two to focus on my own business ventures - bulk candy and house flipping! Can't wait to buy more machines. Cheers to candy!

caserri Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Candace, You should get in touch with member lucero. He flips houses and runs a bulk route as well. I have not seen him around in a while and have been trying coax him out of the woodwork! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipside Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 It's definatly the best business I know (including vending). I essentially get to be like Expedia or Orbitz. People get to go to my website, book travel, and I get a commision. I also can sell the online travel agencies, whcih is also really lucrative. You can take a look at it if you like. The company presentaion is www.paycationexperts.com Let me know what you thought, and what you liked best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearcutvending12 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 sorry that travel thingy, looks liek a total biz op to me, looks pretty stuupid no offense the guys like "only 12 booking and u get 100000 bonus!" haha rightt but any whays hows vending going what are you making bud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipside Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well, what do you mean "biz op"? Every business is a biz op, including vending. It's about turning that opportunity into reality. If you mean that it sound unrealistic, I've seen people get that $100,000 bonus, and they worked for it, and it was a real check. I just mean to say that I think you should look at it with an open mind. As for vending, I'm making about 400 a month (I think, I havent kept the best records), and I'm looking towards the summer for more free time for oth businesses.

clearcutvending12 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 yah i a biz op is a business, that is a "gimick" thats what i meant, but w.e if u make money from it then great, u make 400 from 7 machines? thats highly unlikely........... explain? i have kept every quarter on my computer in excell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipside Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well, I don't believe it's a gimmick. I made $100 from it this weekend. As for vending, I have one absolutly killer location . 2 doubles, one in front of the bar and one in the kids play area. Between the 2 I make about 200 a month. The rest is from the other locations.
