candyman007 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Tell me your vote was For Seaga? I hear they are crap from everyone else. Are they descent? Can you buy gumball machines at SAMS? And if so do they come with a stand and for how much? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Rob, I thought you knew howI felt about Seaga's. About 80% of my fleet are Seaga's. I believe they are the best for the money. I get singles with a stand for $73. Doubles with a stand for $125. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman007 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Nope, didn't know. I can get a single w/ stand for $60, maybe $55. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman007 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 You really need to turn off the automatic email thing everytime someone responds to a post. It is crazy, you could get 20 emails a day if you comment a lot, haha. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPower Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have decided on Oak Vistas Globes which I can get delivered for 45 apiece. I will get the stands from ashland for 25 dollars apiece. I hear oak stands the test of time well. A double with this setup would be about $120 once you add the mounting plate which Ashland sells for 4.95.

caserri Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 KPower, Please provide your contact for Oak. That is a great deal. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The base catalogue price for the oak vista globe is 41.00. The shipping was an estimate that I gleamed from reading posts on other forums. I know that the more you buy the better your rate. I also know that where you live is a factor. I was told that price by someone in Iowa which is in my general area. The ashland stand price I got from their website. Once I order I will let you know what price point I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Do not go with the globes. Try the vista cab. machines! The globes are ugly in my opinion. Try the vistas. You may be disspointed at the globes. Kyle G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clvending Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Rob, I only use the Seaga Millenias double heads in my bulk fleet. I have received compliments on how nice they look. I have had them for over 3 years. It was not till recently that I have encounterd problems w/ the coin mech.. Kids are forcing the handle backwards till it vends freely. It has only happened twice in the 40 heads that I own. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 YES, see that is what happened to me! However, mine just fell apart. It vended free stuff. O yea, I receive compliments on my GMW machines, some 6 years old! Kyle G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxsonvending Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 So does anyone else on here use XYZ Vending Vending Pro Machines? I received my first batch yesterday, put them together, and during the whole process they almost looked/felt a little on the cheap side . These machines are going into some pretty nice places, and I am finding myself a little on the embarrassed side by its looks! Are they easy to break into? Do they fall apart easily? Anyone with experience with these machines I would greatly appreciate your two cents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPower Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I looked at these machines and others like them but then I stopped and asked myself "How can they bring these machines all the way from China and offer these machines cheaper than similiar machines made in the US?" The answers I came up with are as follows: 1. Cheap labor. They pay thier workers next to nothing. 2. They user cheaper materials. Lower grade plastics and metals. 3. They mass produce. When you think about how cheap the machine must be in order for them to still make a profit after adding in shipping and materials and labor and Tarrifs and whatever else is in their overhead then you have a very very cheap machine. This is what I have found in my research. If you want looks and durability go with Beaver. You will pay more though. If you want durability and quicker ROI go with Oak. If you want ease of service and durability go with Northwestern. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
