agrantha Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Life is strange sometimes. I just found two locations and I just lost two locations. One location kicked me out due to too many candy machines in the establishment and the other went out of business. I know some people don't believe in putting their contact information on their machines, but this is a good example of why you should. Both locations called me and asked me to come pick up my machine. I don't even get upset anymore because I have learned that when this happens it equals opportunity to find a better location.

havending Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Only reason some one won't put info on machines is that they are under the radar not paying tax, insurance etc. The one with too much candy will a small rack work? Never stop locating my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerVendor Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Don't sweat it. Crap happens. We had a lousy couple of weeks and lost a few locations. I would have lost the machines if i didn't have my contact information inside the globe. That doesn't necessarily stop folks from closing or moving and taking your machine with them.

Hillbilly Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yep, same thing happened to me. One of mine was a five way rack location. Took all of 5 minutes to relocate it. Just got lucky this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbuford Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Locating is never ending. If I still have to buy machines from time to time I'm heading in ther right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reel Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 In this business its locate, locate till the day you die or get out of the game. Sure can get frustrating sometimes though, I experience the same problems in my own market. For small bulk machines I think the number one excuse is either don't have room or undergoing renovations.

You gotta really appreciate when they call because a machine is empty. It doesn't happen to me very often. Makes you feel good when it does.

Never stop locating my friend or they are stolen and laying low so no one wants to pound their face in In this business its locate, locate till the day you die or get out of the game.

For small bulk machines I think the number one excuse is either don't have room or undergoing renovations. and when you do die, tell the family to set them up at the funeral and at the wake.
