Buying these, my first machines!

[b00stzx3]

Found these locally on Craigslist. $50.00 a peice. I posted on the other forum and a mod told me to go for it, good deal. I might get 1 or 2, hopefully 2.   Double headers!

I worry about brand/parts, but I'm not too worried about bulk machines, it would be different if I were buying a soda machine or the like.

 

What do yall think?

Those are the V-Line. I have a double just like that. You'll love the coin drawer for collecting the money. The only thing I don't like about it is you have to unscrew the coin drawer lock like the lid. Still a quick and easy collection though.

If you are going to vend PMMs, you'll need to bend the metal portion size wheel to dispense more than 5. I'm doing 7-8 right now but thinking of cutting back due to the price increase.

I say go for it. $50 is a good price if they are in good shape. Make sure the plastic bodies aren't cracked. The guy I bought mine from replaced a cracked body free of charge.

As far as parts go, you might be able to get them here. I would call them first to see if they are compatable.

$50/each is definately in the right range for bulk machines. As you grow and can buy multipules you can get them a little cheaper.

I have 71 machines vendstars,doubles,sticker machines, 2" capsule,6way rack,and full size snack and soda machine. I've been hawking on CL for the last year I got all my machines for $74 each averaged that includes the full line machines! Good job on the purchase. Now go find great homes for them.

Sterling is excellent at getting good deals.

The price sound solid, double head with stand for 50$. If he lived near here I'd be taking 5 or 6 of those. (15 or so if I could get the cash together)
