Craigslist vending machine WIN


Recommended Posts

Found a used USI 3061 vending machine on Craigslist...guy wanted $100.  It was outside in a field on a palate.  I offered him $60 but he wouldn't budge on his price.  Loaded it into the truck, took it back to my place and found $60 of coins in the coinco mech!  Needed $150 of work to fix the cooling system and a rebuilt bill acceptor, but it's been working like a dream for the past year and makes about $20/week in sales.  I have heard a lot of negative comments about the USI machines but mine is great!

Congratulations on your score and welcome to the forum.  You probably only got $30 or so from the coin mech as that's about all a three tube mech holds, but perhaps there was money in the coin box as well.  I don't think you're seeing negative comments on USI to the degree you say but there are certainly pros and cons to every model.  It's good that you're happy with your machine.
