mission vending Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 All decent machines, price would tell me to buy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The accounts might be 2-4 years old, but the machines aren't. What are the details? Gross sales by location/machine, prices, commissions, contracts, distance between, are there sodas with each snack? If not, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Here's the full ad - I'm obviously not paying the $54,995 asking price, but $71k/annual at 9 locations looks very solid. Commission/Location contracts, distance between are unknown. I sent an email to him. --- This is a great established route for you to add to your existing route or to get started in the vending business. Each of the nine locations have a great track record of earnings with detailed books for serious buyers to review. The accounts with coffee service are billed at 40% above costs. As mentioned there are nine locations around the Denver area ALL with great equipment, much of it only a few years old. All in total there are:5 HR-322 HR-234 BC-102 Vendo 8402 Chill Center5 Newco Coffee Brewers1 older USI with I-vend added - single price2 Dixie-Narco 440 - single price This route grosses over $71,000.00 per year. The account is being sold with all coins and products in the machines at the time of purchase and is being sold for only $54,995.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 This would be a good starter route for full line. Enough sales volume to step right past the first hurdle of not having enough volume to minimize out of date problems. Based on sales alone I'd be at around 40K to start, additional info will move the needle up or down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to purchase enough volume to bypass the traditional growing pains of full-line. Any wild guesses at the true monthly net after taxes, COG, travel? Service time per week? I'm thinking 20 hrs minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking 20 hrs minimum. Based on the gross, each location is doing a hair shy of $800 a month - solid accounts but with larger equipment could be serviced every other week and still do this volume. Right now we're looking at two days a week and netting $2,500 a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking 20 hrs minimum. Still a lot of unknown variables but conservatively you should be able to take 1500 a month out. IMO 2500 net after EVERYTHING is probably a little high. Time after you get a system set up ought to be around 20 hours a week, including buying and loading if you don't waste any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrCorey Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 just make sure they own the machines. they don't belong to a soda bottler, or being leased. cause one day you can find them gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogcow Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Literally saw the ad on CL this afternoon. Nothing verified whatsoever. Without verification its still a pig in a poke , I know how it is to get excited and in ur mind ur already counting the money but be VERY careful about evaluating income and @ the first sign of a rat walk. Something smells funny about this deal Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch Q using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
