tblake05 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Approached by a location, they have 2 machines that they own and want us to restock them. The machines had been donated to the location (Retirement home). Has anyone ever done this before? How would if work for breakdowns of coin mechs and things. Witter Trimline machines. The loc also wants us to install 3 more of our own machines. 225 employees, approx 250 residents at one building, and 50 residents plus employees at another building. Same campus. The restocking of their machines seems kinda messy. thoughs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendo Mike Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I think I'd just offer to purchase the equipment from them to avoid any service confusion. Otherwise, I'd load and sell from the equipment as they've offered and leave any repairs to them unless they're willing to pay for your repair services. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Kind of what I was thinking. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Personally I wouldn’t mind doing minor repairs assuming the machines were in decent shape to begin with and weren’t junk. Repairs are something that needs to be done anyways even if I owned the machines and they’re already saving me money. Now upgrades, major repairs like cooling decks I’d offer to pay for some but not all of. But I would first offer to buy the machines. If not I would draft up an agreement to sign detailing who’s machines are whose and who’s responsible for what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 If they will just let you run the machine, keeping all of the money from them except maybe a commission, then go for it. I've had account let me do that before. If they instead want the cash from the machines then you would need to sell them the product, charge them labor to stock it (or build it into your pricing) and charge them for any repairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I have a cluster of locations that have essentially loaned me their own equipment so I can stock it myself. They own the machines but I have the key. Well.. not all of the equipment but some of it. Some I have replaced with my own. As long as I get to do what I normally do (restock and collect), then it's all good. I did have one guy not too long ago ask me to stock his soda machine as a service and he wanted to pay me some sort of commission for it and I said no.
