Thinking about purchasing a route for sale

[imperialv]

I know there have been many threads o this topic but I wanted to know the best way to approach. I found a vending route for sale on craigs list for 8500 dollars. It included 3 machines and seller says route is making 50 dollars a week, I am thinking that is per machine. How do you determine if this is overpriced or what are the basics to look for before buying a route.

Thanks

I think it is $50/week total for all 3 machines.  That seems really low for pop/snacks.

eeeeeks only 3 machines and only making 50 per week, unless these are brand new machines that are worth a few grand a piece it does not sound worth it at all...

He said the "ROUTE" i makeing $50 a week.  At that rate, it would take you forever to recover your initial cost.  I agree with the other posts.  Unless the deal comes with 3 VERY nice machines, stocked with the cash in them, I would look elsewhere.

I would have to agree
