kai1836 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I just wanted to post some more appreciation for the swap forum that nam pretty much single handedly maintains! It is an invaluable resource for any vendor looking for some great deals. Nam, who doesn't get paid, takes some time out of his day, every day, and posts the best deals from across craigs list here for us all to see. So once again Thanks!!
nam Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 What, I'm not getting paid? Steve said the check was in the mail. :shock: Thank you very much and I appreciate your appreciation. I love looking for deals and passing them on. Often times I'm just the start of that process and you guys have to get them down a bit more on the price and actually make the deal. Hope I've helped a few of you get some more machines makin money on the street. nam
antoniocinisi Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I have 2 machines makeing good money and 2 more that will be out soon thanks to nam. my wife doesn`t like him too much though.....
antoniocinisi Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 nam, hopefully your bank accepts euro's! I`ll give you a buck for every euro you got.
nam Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 kai, Maybe there is some problem with the transfer of funds from the euro's to dollars and that's why the funds haven't hit my account yet. Ya think? Antonio, Your wife sent me a pm offering me $100 a month to stop posting ads in Illinois. Guess she thought it would be cheaper. nam
nepavend Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks nam! I've landed two deals for a total of one rack and 8 sticker machines total for $350! You are indeed the nam, I mean the man! Guess who got my vote for MOTM!
Rustinm Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Nam, do you buy and sell machines for profit in your local area? I have done it out of necessity and found it very profitable. I have had a snack machines and two pop machines that i sold for a very good price, and i made 950$ profit on those machines, because i got such a good deal on them.
nam Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Rustin, I've never bought and sold a vending machine since moving to Arizona. I sold machines rather than move machines here so have been trying to buy not sell. Now I'm over flowing with machines and need to stop buying and start placing with a passion again. I'm used to having massive numbers of machines to place so these too will get located. nam
kai1836 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Nam, With how active you are here, how knowledgeable you seem to be on the industry and your time in the business.....I'm wondering how large of a route you have there in Az?
lurtsman Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Nam is a stud. Thanks to Nam I have 2 racks and a spiral. I also have a strong desire for a quicker route to minneapolis since he finds so many good deals there
ROGERS VENDING Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Nam is cool guy. Thanks for all your help buddy.
Faith Vending Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Nam, you are the best and I 2nd all comments!! Jim
reel Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Nam, I agree with all those wonderfull words said about you above, except the stud one hahahaha, then again you have the credentials to support the comment. Im still waiting on those super deals for me here tho. Nam sure is the man and he has helped me a great deal since i have been a member of this site, im hoping to buy him a beer in the not too distant future.
T BIRD Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Nam works very hard on here. We all appreciate it.
nepavend Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks to nam, I will be picking up the following deals in the next 30 days: 1. Garage full of parts/racks/machines/couple spirals - For a few hundred dollars 2. 6 sticker machines for $50 each 3. 6-way rack for $150, will use to make another 5-way rack and double While the third one wasn't the greatest value I have ever found, I do need the stands and heads now more than usual. I have 9 stops that need upgrades and don't have enough 4-way and 5-way stands to do them all, so this was one way to get the stand and some like new heads to build others.
kai1836 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 Joe, Numbers 1 & 2 are unbelievable deals......talk about a great roi!
nepavend Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 The final tally on Deal 1, $350 for: -2 spirals (5' Rally) - one works except for new locks needed, the other has a coin mech problem. I have spare Beaver .25 mechs -Large number of .25 NW, A&A PO89, Eagle and Oak heads. -6 or 7 Pipe Stands -Bunch of NW80s, in varying conditions, some will need lots of love, others are just about good for location now. I think there were 5 or 6 altogether. -Parts Parts Parts! For A&A, NW, Eagle, Oak! Also, since they are moving in three weeks, whatever doesnt go at their yard sale (not much since they are in a gated community) I can get for nothing, but they only have some plastic machines and a really reallllly old Victor rack from the 1970s, I think I pretty well picked it clean. -There was also a 6' Spiral that was just ginormous and could never fit in my van, but no way to know if all the parts were there.
vendingdelaltiplano Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I see that all of you have said what I think about Nam. All what I have to say is thanks Nam, you are the man!!! Greetings from Mexico.
cavity Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 He last logged on at the beginning of the month, but I haven't seen him post anything for a few months. Hope he is ok.
antoniocinisi Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 he is ok just not visiting the site anymore
lurtsman Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 IMO Nam was the best thing to happen to these forums. He joined, saved my business and gave me the keys to a better life, then disappeared. I'm sure he did other things also, but those are the parts that I will remember him for.
reel Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Nams a great guy, im sorry he doesnt post here anymore, his posts were always so informative...........i sure miss corresponding with him. I trust all is well with him, and wish him all the best.
