cashman Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I know this has been talked about on here before but can't find the link (feel free to add it ) just curious on thoughts/experiences on dropping off (bulk) machines without (slamming)permission . Lets not turn this into a "I'm far to good of a person to do that thread " I know people do it , I haven't (yet) but have a location in mind that I know would be a good location and also know that getting permission would be impossible, i have some disposable equipment so maybe I will. judge away.

rebelwithoutaclue Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I don't see how anyone wouldn't see the unauthorized machine and say ' what the f and get rid of it but then again I see totally empty vending machines in front of stores for years and the storeowners have no interest in putting another machine in or throwing the machine out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zjtaylor Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've done it. I spent about a month experimenting with just placing machines wherever. It only works with big corporate owned locations where the everyday people don't know or care about what's going on. If they ask just say corporate said it was OK. If you get caught just say my guy must have got confused about the location. You will make a lot of money but it just doesn't make sense to do this long term. Also seems to be quite frowned upon on this message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuikVend Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Slamming machines paints us vendors in a negative light. I'd rather attempt to gain locations the honest way and maintain a positive image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 And the people slamming do so because it is hard to get locations. Why is it hard to get locations? Maybe because bulk vending is not seen as an honest business. Gee why would locations get that idea? Slamming: the last resort of a failed enterprise.

rebelwithoutaclue Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Maybe I will walk into a store put a cash register in there set up my own merchandise and take money from whoever wants to buy it and see what the storeowener or management says. that's the same thing slammmers are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The people that slam make life miserable for everyone else. On the plus side resorting to slamming means the operator lacks the necessary skills to build a real business. I've seen a lot of them come and go.

AMD Snacks Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Integrity aside, I'm not sure the end game to doing this. You might make a few bucks, you might lose a machine. If you're in this business, why stray from the normal way to make income? Seems like you'd spend less time doing it right over doing risky side ventures. And it'd be a repeatable skill you would be honing.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
