"figure out the keys"?

[tblake05]

What does this mean?  I'm in full line vending and don't own any bulk machines so I'm clueless when it comes to them.  Is it tough to change locks on these, as maybe he's afraid I would encroach on an area I don't own?  Like do people do that?  Just go to random bulk machines they come across and try their key to see if they work?

 

"I have a candy route I’ve built over the years by purchasing smaller routes from other people. I did lose a bunch over covid but have a lot left that have been around for years. I counted over 80 locations for sure that I have and about 55 that I call maybes. I haven’t gotten to those locations to check if they are there. The good thing for you s they should have a load of quarters in them if they are there.

They are mostly the machines I have pictured. This is the easiest money that I’ve made. The machines are so easy to adjust and fix if they ever break. Just pop in a new mechanism and go. I have a lot of extra parts that go with. Start making money tomorrow. A good rule of thumb is $10 per month per machine. You only hit the machines every three months or so. I’ve done this for many years and don’t have the time any more.

The route goes as far north as Pine City, east as Stillwater, south as Rosemount, and west as Annandale.

Best to text or email."

I understand what he means. When you accumulate lots of accounts that you have purchased from multiple vendors and don't replace the locks, then you have tons of keys for different machines. Basically he wants to sell all of the machines at one time and hand over all keys to the new owners. If you try to sell the machines one at a time then all of the "one at a time" buyers have keys to the other machines the machines the seller still owns. I have seen this ad before and it looks like a scam.

all depends on the type of machines you have, the vendstars and uturn machines have complicated keys, very hard to find those, beaver, AA, NV, Acorn are much easier to find
