AZVendor Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The National 148s, the USI 3039, the AP6600s and maybe the DN368s are the oldest machines you have in the list. Luckily all of the models, old and new are pretty easy to get parts for and to keep running. Good luck with your new venture. If you ever need any parts for them you can PM me and I can help you out.

A pretty decent mix, the only one I dislike is the USI 3039 (not as well made as the rest). The AP6600s are great machines as long as they're the deep version (XL) otherwise they tend to be a little small for a decent account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I would estimate that the average value of each machine is in the range of $500 to $1000 depending on actual model and condition. The LCM machines are probably the newest along with the GPL 173. I generally sell refurbished single price sodas at $700 and older snacks like the AP6600 and Nat 148 for $1000. The LCMs would bring more like $1200 to $1500 depending on demand. Since this route consists of mostly single price sodas and early 90s snacks your average value is closer to $500 than to $1000.

Depending on how well established the route is, it may be an okay purchase. To put it in perspective, I buy a competitor's slower accounts for roughly 50% of gross sales. I think it is a really good deal so I don't expect you to get the same thing but I certainly don't want to pay close to 100% of gross sales for slow accounts. Assuming we have about 15 accounts here, you are making about $2450 per account which is nothing to brag about but it's profitable if you do an excellent job at managing expiration dates, fuel expense, and a few other things. As always, I just get picky about people checking to see how long the route as been established and if there is verifiable income for the route. On equipment alone, 32,000 is too much.
