bigtay6187 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hey everyone I have someone offering me 20 v line vending machines for $15/ea. I'm either thinking about doing this or getting some new PN95s. I know this is a pretty good deal but are these really the right machines for me? Your thoughts...

JPVendCo. Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I would buy them. at 15 dollars a piece you can use them to start getting the money flowing. if you dont like them, buy some pn95 or nw as you go and replace them a few at a time. many of them will pay for themselves with a month or two at that price.

bigtay6187 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 I cant really find any info on the machines. Are they plastic? Metal? Worth a crap? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtay6187 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hillbilly I think were curse dude. I still havent received the email. I did contact Kevin at A&A today and he answered alot of questions for me...just time to make a desicion. I can either get 10 double or 2 with A&A. As long as I can vend toys and gumballs out of these V-Lines (BTW Hillbilly those are the exact ones im looking at purchasing) I think it would be a much better purchase. They will pay for themselves alot faster like someone had said earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yeah I even tried the new address you gave me. If you buy those take a picture of the candy wheels or gumball wheels in them and send to me. I bet the Oak wheels or the A&A wheels will fit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtay6187 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Ok cool. I'm texting with the person right now...I will prob. be going out there tomorrow to take a look at them and I will take a pic and send it over to you. Right off the bat I know that the bodies and many of the parts are plastic which is a big turn off to the deal. Once again its hard to pay $55 for the PN95 im looking at when I can grab these for $15. I will have to meditate on this one...jk...but really.

mizugori Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 also consider that if you end up spending 20 bucks on a wheel its not 15 its 35 lol. so ask the seller what they're set up to sell, he/she should know whether it's set up for bulk candy, 1.1" toys, or gumballs you will also probably want to change the locks since you're buying locally. a&a sells locks for like 2.81 that might fit these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtay6187 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Good call....after all that it makes the A&A look a little more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 At least from A&A you will know what your'e getting. And there are many people on here that deal with them. IMO you can't go wrong with them. What I would want to know is why is he selling them so cheap? Is he getting out of the business? How old are they? Some of my Oak's that I have refurbished are probably 20 or 30 years old.

I know you didnt ask me but the 20.00 dollar wheel cost floored me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you figure it's going to cost - and provide a link please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 If the Oak style wheel will fit it, the capsule wheel is 2.16 and the brush off plate is 2.16. Both from A&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
