Starcat Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I bought these yesterday for 225 on craigslist.. good deal or bad? i gotta order new locks for ALL of them because he was using a butter knife to open them, and im sure i either have to replace, or paint the tops. and there is no chute for one.

QuikVend Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Smaller machines are from Eagle. Clones of the Oak Vista. Larger machines are Oak 450s Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendtex Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Price a little high I think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I was thinking you got more machines. So you got one single head and one triple? If so, the single is eagle and the triple is oak 450's. I'm not die what the market for used machines is like around you, but I wouldn't have gone over $100 around here. Mostly due to condition and missing locks (which I usually change to my own, but use the others to sell or put on machines I may sell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 yea, 1 single and one triple. he originally wanted 285 but i talked him down to 225. i thought the macines + stands might make it worth it. but the fact that he doesnt have keys and no chute. i might have paid a little much but whatever. im still new.

QuikVend Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yea, we've all over-paid at some point. At least you bought reliable equipment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 ok so the locks on top, any idea which locks i should buy? it seems like no matter what lock i get, anyone can just.. twist them off since they are basically screwed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 When the tumblers are removed, that's the case. They just become an oversized nut. Any new lock won't open with such ease. You can try laigroup.com or just go to ebay if you're only looking for a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotthead Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I have some locks for sale. We have all over paid for machines. I bought 8 4-way plastic machines, I put 1 of them on location for a little while but it kept jamming and had all kinda problems. I ended up throwing them out a couple of years ago You win some you lose some. I drove 4+ hours to get the %^$# things, I should have left them sitting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendtex Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I've often overpaid as well. In fact the route I just bought two months ago, we've had to replace two doubles and a triple out of just 15 sites plus lost one the first service due to corporate crap. But many do bring in good amounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
