AmuseStar Vending Co Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I do not think this has ever been covered, but I would like to buy a few pattie vendors, and I was wondering where you buy them? I have looked over the Internet, and can not seem to find a place where they are not re selling them. Every place I have found is over $200. That is crazy. Any help is appreciated. Kyle Here is a picture of what I am talking about. It does not have to look like this. It just needs to be able to vend mints: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Why do you say that? Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePlate Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I had one of these once, couple things: The machines (or the one I had) was just low quality. The Peppermint Patties soften in even the least amount of heat. The Patties then get soft and jam. I am a big fan of PP, but I think the vending part was just not executed correctly.

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Kevin, I just saw that same ad. They are not in TN. I have only seen a few. Owned by the same guy, who neglicted them. The owners said people loved it, and that it made lots of money. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I do not think this has ever been covered Think again Kyle! Not only has it been covered but you had input on them as well. Do a search for peppermint patty and several threads will come up. Here are a couple to get you started. If it were me, I would pass on these based on member experience. http://www.vendiscuss.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=629&forum_id=1&highlight=peppermint+patty http://www.vendiscuss.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=95&forum_id=1&highlight=peppermint Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shvend Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Kyle, I will have to agree with everyone else on this one. Save your money!!! I had one of these how can i put this nicely, ahh POS. Luckley it was gave to me by a business owner who said a guy put in and had not come back in over a year so he told me to take it. I took it to a locksmith had a key made for it and set it back out. Well I see why the guy left it. On my normal 6 week cycle the machine took in $2.50. Now you say this may have been a bad locaton. I don't think so this bulk stop of mine had 10 NW S60 1 2 col flat vend sticker and grossed $900.00 per 6 weeks. So I don't think it was a bad location. Plus I added new peppermints to it and they went bad sitting in the A/C. So I am strongly against them. I did not even haul it home I took it off the stand and trashed it in a local dumpster. Sorry!

cnavendingofnepa Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 We own about 50 patty machines and all were purchased "used" through local ads. I personally would never pay $200 for one. However, we've been doing York PP for a number of years and found that they are a good supplement to an existing location. It is true that you have to be careful where they are placed because of the heat or sun that affects the candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
