mondovending Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 After reading various forums and sites for a few days, I am considering investing in a vending machine business from scratch. What machines do you recommend as a start ? Bulk machines appear quite lower in initial investment. Any brand better than another ? New vs. used ? Thanks in advance or any insight.

orsd Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 you can get started in both for a couple hundres if you want soda then get a 200 dollar used single price machine from craigslist and stick it in a tire shop if you want bulk than get a used aa, oak, eagle, northwestern, or beaver ($25 or less) and place it keep in mind bulk machines are cheaper from mfg and are usually around $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondovending Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I read the "bulk" boards for the last few hours on debating brands and how a start-up should start. All quite valuable. Is it worth the peace of mind of purchasing a new machine? For $40+ in price, it may take twice as long to earn a positive ROI, but at least I know the machine works as soon as when its placed. Thanks for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjvend Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Only buy used when it looks VERY nice and don't be tempted to pay according to "new price". A super clean and new, fresh location will benefit from a new machine. In a 'run down' location, the older used machine may fit in just fine .
