As for the bank, its upstairs in the corporate part so about 20 employees (maybe). The welding shop I saw maybe 7 to 10 people, but he said there is 3 shifts and I only saw 1. So, we now have a welding shop with what you saw to be 7-10 people doing $500/week... And a corporate office of a bank with 20 people doing $130/week. And how far are these locations from fast food and convenience stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i mean completely protect myself. I assume to do this i would need A LOT more than a PNS. But what exactly would i need. I don't think he'll put himself in a position to allow you to protect yourself. Meaning, you are buying the route as-is with no guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i mean completely protect myself. I assume to do this i would need A LOT more than a PNS. But what exactly would i need. You could structure the deal to pay him machine value, with the remainder being paid after a certain period where revenues come in at, or within a certain percentage of, historical figures. Obviously he won't agree if the numbers are BS. If numbers are accurate, he still may not want to do it, but it could convince him to give you proof in another way. This is pretty ridiculous when you think about it. He's gotta be buying between $4k and $5k of product a month. Even if he is paying cash, there would be purchase orders and other evidence - and none of that would put him in trouble with the "other accounts" on his CC readers or the IRS (at least not anymore than advertising the business for sale).

Anacapa Vending Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 You guys sound surprised that a vendor is full of sh*@... if you really want to expand your route make him a reasonable offer that you think his company is worth. Who cares if he lying about the numbers. Chances are good he wont get any other offers... 70% of the locations we have purchased have been from liars. Know what the equipment is worth and guesstimate the sales. Offer accordingly to minimize your risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intouchvending Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Update* After telling him I no longer want the route he has apparently sold half of it lol. Now he is lowering his numbers I assume as a last ditch attempt of my buying the business. Probably thought the number was too high for me and is now trying to figure out another way to reel me in with a scare tactic of stuff being sold very quickly. Update 2* I told him to show the reader reports to verify his sales and still doesnt want to show me. One day later and he sold the whole business. Lol.

Ya and he only sent me ONE invoice for about $1200 worth of product and it was dated April 2018. After giving him an ultimatum he apparently sold the business to someone else.

AngryChris Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 If you came here, without telling us the numbers, and said that you saw a warehouse with 7-10 welders, a corporate office for a bank with maybe 20 employees, some school lounges, and a few other places, I feel pretty damn confident that the bulk of us here would tell you that the route won't make much money. I stand firm on my belief that, if he did sell that route, all it means is that someone else is getting ripped off and not you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
