VBVending Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 All machines are in excellent condition. I can buy them all with 2 locations for $600 6 Jolt Machines from Seaga 3 Jelly Belly Machines from Seaga 2 Sixlet Machines from ? I can actually get 2 on location as well. 1 in a Dominican Beauty Shop and one in an Ace Hardware. They actually have the Jolt Energy gum in an Ace Store. I would never let my kid buy energy gum. LOL Heres the pics and links. https://www.vendingtimes.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=Article+Archives&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=E83CE56AD645485BB0F225587FAA4ADE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The price seems to be a little high. I would be careful when buying brand specific machines like the ones posted. If those items become discontinued for any reason, you are stuck with machines that can not be used. I have seen it happen before so be careful and good luck with those types of accounts. $600 is a lot for 11 machines. Only 2 are on location and I would imagine they are not doing much.

VBVending Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have looked all over the Internet and the only place that I can find Jolt Gum in bulk is a generic brand shipped for $16 a kilogram from the factory in China. I have found Sixlets everywhere but have never vended them. I am sceptical about vending Jelly Beans. I imagine that you will have to spray them with Pam like Mike and Ikes. I am worried they would stick together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary I agree and would not buy machines like this. For $600 you can get some very nice used Beaver or Northwestern Machines and in my opinion be better off. Maybe not as many, but definately better machines that will make you look a lot more professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have found Sixlets everywhere but have never vended them. I have sold Sixlets and I would never do it again. Customers stay away in droves. They want M&M's not nasty stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Don't be misled by the sparkly signs...they're just singles on a stand. Knowing that, I'd recommend you STAY AWAY from that deal. That same $60 will get you a much better used machine (Northwestern, Oak, A&A) with a pipe-stand. Heck, you can almost get a NEW machine and stand for that price (Oak Vista 450's are less than $45 NEW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrantha Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 VB Is there a way you can remove the signage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Mass Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I would normally say stay away but the 2 location does make it more attractive. I'd ask for some revenue records on those accounts. I'd also look into this further. JB you should be able to geat easy, but the Jolt could be an issue if the supplier is only from once source.

Jolt is one of the items that have had so much press lately along with Monster, etc. It is not an item that kids should eat so you would have to find a special account for it. You may like to eat jelly beans on Easter but they are not a big seller. JustBorn, the company that makes Mike & Ike is pushing their Jelly Beans for vending now. I am sure it is a good product but I just don't think it will be a big vending item like Mike & Ike. If someone here sells jelly beans and they sell like Mike & Ike, please speak up.
