dapreachaman Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just landed 9 1-800's for $225. I am going to flip the majority of them to make the extra cash. Seems like a great deal since they are regularly for sale out here for far more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I would have loved to run across a deal like that, I love the way the 1800's look. Looks like I might score some Northwestern though, 6-8 hes not sure how many he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 grats preach. Those are some great machines. I love working with 1800s. I really owe antonio for sending me my first one and getting me hooked on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsoccer4 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Man no kidding. Sell them till you make 225 then take the ones left over as freebies! Congats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstop Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 After using them when I was in florida I am also hooked. Just found 15 about 2 hours away but have not struck a deal yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapreachaman Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 sure thing mainor, but since you know what I paid how am I going to make big money? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapreachaman Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Kelly it is a great deal and I was able to sell my wife on it. Of course having been given a bonus just recently helped to make the deal easier to take for my wife. I hope to flip em all here in my area via craigslist. A guy in my town sells them for 100 a piece through craigslist and that is what i will try as well at least to get my money back and then who knows.

antoniocinisi Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I once bought some 1800 for super cheap too and sold a couple off to make back my money.I now regret doing that I wish I had kept them all.for that price you can put the machine anywhere and if it gets stolen it is not a big loss.

jamesjmcgough Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 What a novel concept. If you are serious about this biz, put hose soldiers out to work for you. Take the profits and down the line find another great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendman0729 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 WOW 9 for 225............thats hard to believe but awsome..............funny cause for exactly 225 i got 5 1 800 machines and i thought i also got a great deal as well............anyways i wouldn't sell 1 of those machines because their great machines.............i love my 1 800 vending machines..............i would rather use them to make me money.............just my opinion.............also i would not buy one used i think if it is more then $75 a piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa vending group Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 was hoping you could tell me how your buzz bites are doing,and where to you target for locs thanks ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapreachaman Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 buzz bites totally depend on location. Some locations are great and others are terrible. Truck driver lounges are great. Karate studios are great. Diners are great with the mint flavor. I have a tile store that does awesome, but then my other flooring places are terrible. I have a couple gyms that one month will cream the machine and the next hardly touch it. The golf course I thought would do well it is terrible. One thing that helps is to give free samples to the people who are regularly there. I have a take n bake pizza shop that does very well also. I am always leaving candies there and they eat a bunch of the buzz bites. I have tried to target where there will be young people, athletes and drivers. My latest attempts are a jiu jitsu studio and some mixed martial art studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapreachaman Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Antonio, James and Vendman: Thanks for your great ideas, I may put some out, but I have been so swamped with work lately I have not had time to even service properly my current situation. Adding to it may just be overload. Although things do look to eventually slow down this summer I am sure and maybe if I have not sold them all I will have some new machines on location. I can think of a few spots where they would go very well. The college where my wife is finishing here teaching credential needs one and I think I may have a way in now. Tried in past and was shot down, but they know us now so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapreachaman Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 I will be asking 100 a piece here in my area. I know a guy who has had a few that sales them for 100 a piece here. I will probably list all 9 for 1000 and see what happens. If I so happen to have someone buy a few off of me for the right price I may put the others out.

antoniocinisi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I still think in the future you will regret selling such nice machines that will earn you a roi in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapreachaman Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 You are completely right Antonio. I may have to rethink my original plan. We shall see what happens, but for now I am marching forward, except he was out of town when I went to pick them up so I have to wait till thursday when I am back in his town to get them. He says he will hold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapreachaman Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Picked them up last night. 8 machines not 9, but I only paid 200. I also received 9 extra canisters and two extra tops along with some extra keys and a lock or two I believe. A couple of the machines had some quarters in them I heard them rattling around while loading and unloading. I got home so late I have not opened to find my score. Whatever it is it just makes it a better deal. Although none of the machines had the spill trays. Not a big deal. Have a great day happy vending and blessings.

dapreachaman Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 I got them home thursday and had to wait until tonight to clean them up. There was 2.50 in quarters left inside the machines. so not bad 8 machines for 197.50. They are nice machines and I am probably going to dread selling them.
