Hello all

[proshine43]

I've been on this forum for about a week now and I've gotta tell ya, alot of very good info. This would have taken me years and alot of $ and alot mistakes to learn on my own. I'm from southern california and I hope my new business does as good as some of yours.

      Thanks for all of your info, time to teach us, your wisdom, and patience to help us newbies start out. So for I have 5 doubles, and 1 triple. I dont have them placed yet till I get insurance, licenses etc. I plan on havin my first one placed nov. 15 with eddie bauer. Thanks again for your time.

Hello Brian, I am new on here as well and was just amazed at what a useful resource this forum is. I like you have not placed my first machine yet, I've been setting up my LLC.(just got the documents today from legalzoom ), looking into liability insurance, and bidding on machines on eBay. This sit has been and will continue to be an important part of my vending business. I've had some conversations with some fine people on here that seem so willing to help you out, it is truly special in my opinion. Glad to have you on board and good luck!

Thanks and good luck to you as well. I've found some insurance company's for around 425 a year. Not to bad for a $2,000,000 policy. I've found some great deals on craigslist. I'm amazed that people buy these machines for $200-$300 each and sell them months later for $35-$75. I cant wait to get started, just waiting for more funds and the time. I have a 9 to 5 job, an 8 year old and a 4 year old, and my wife works graveyard. So I'll have to go with a locator. I've heard good things about eddie bauer so I'll use them first to see how they do.

                                                                                  Thanks again

Keep me posted on how Eddie Bauer does and I'll let you know about KS and Midwest(I'm going to try both). What kind of machines have you found? I'm looking at NW60's for my singles and not sure about my triples. I've got a line on 5 vendstar3000's in my town right now for $45.00 a piece. I'm a little apprehensive of using them after all the reviews I've read on here but I might go for them for some breakroom locations.

I have some 1800 triples that I picked up for 75. I have 4 double oaks I picked up for $30.00 each and I have some silent force which will have to go in a very secure location (plastic bodys). I'm allways looking for good deals, even when I dont have the cash, you never know.
