brendamca Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm still learning my way around model numbers and such. How old are AP 6000 snack machines? I saw one on CL for sale -- on location. How much do they run? I've seen them for over $1000 in different places, but I don't know whether that's reasonable for this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6000 would likely be around 20 years old. Value complete with no upgrades around 700, with upgrades (board, MDB) as much as 1500. So somewhere in the middle ought to be fair if the location is included. Any info on sales at the location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got off the phone with the seller. Sales are slow at the location because there were layoffs, and many of the remaining employees are vegetarians or "healthy food" types. She had said in the ad that the buyer would want to move the machine off location. She said she bought it and the location for $2000 two years ago. She's asking $250 for the machine. I think I could leave it there until I made my money back, if I adjusted the product mix. She's getting out of the business entirely. Has one other location with a soda machine that's doing well, but both locations are way on the other side of town from me. Servicing would be a chore.

Parts on e-bay and scrapping the box will get you more than that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinnJinn Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wow! Honest sellers in this biz are slim to none. I would definetly jump on the 250 price. after commission etc, if you are making a profit, leave it there. If you don't make enough to make it worth while, do like mission said. part it out and scrap the box. IMO, its a win win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
