JEREMYTINA Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I went to meet a guy this evening to look at an Amerivend 3 column sticker machine. He said he also had a 4 column. When I got to his house I was under the impression from speaking with him beforehand that the machines were used. When I arrived however, he opened his garage, and the machines were brand new in the box and never opened. He had a total of 8 3 column and 12 4 column machines. He has all of the product needed to fill every machine to capacity, and all of the locks, keys, etc. The 3 column machines are yellow, and the four column are red. He said he brought them from California when he moved hoping to start vending here, but never had the time. All of the machines are set to vend at 50 cents, and can be adjusted to $1.00. He said he would take $2300 for all of it. This seems like a great deal, and the product alone would pay for the machines twice over. I am just wondering what experience everyone has had with sticker vending, and what service cycle you used, and whether I should be heading to the bank to pull the money out when they open... Also, if anyone wants to a couple of them, PM me and I will be glad to ship one to you for cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc-vending Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think it is a good deal although I am not familiar with that brand of machine. I would prolly buy one or 2 from you also. seems like a fair deal to me and I would be interested in 1 or 2 myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacho Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sounds like a real good deal but Amerivend is no longer in business. If you need parts, you might be SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 the coin mechs are universal and possibly the columns too. you can keep one machine as parts and it`s still a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mage Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well $115 each, does not sound like a bad deal. Although it never hurts to offer him less to see if he comes down in price. Most people expect a little haggling. Personally I would offer $1,800 for the whole shebang, then act reluctant to go over $2,000. Doesn't mean you won't pay full asking price, but it is likely you could pay less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 imo he expects to get $2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The Amerivends that I have use Greenwald coin slides. Those are also the standard in my NW machines too. The other parts rarely break unless you drop them really hard. They look like A&A clones with that front loading design. Man, I wish he had bought some single column ones.

nepavend Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I voted for fair price but always try to get for less. You never know what could happen. It worked for me several times over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
