But the church youth that I have loaned to to for the past couple years tells me they earn around a grand a month after they buy the candy.

bacho Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Best was a average of $50 a month. Worst was a average of $8 a month. Only problem I had with any of them was the chute door breaks off easily. But, I only had to replace 2 in the three years I had them. Others complain they are always breaking off. As far as I know they are still making money for the guy I sold my route to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm wondering why this question is specifically for a Vendstar when it should be about the location and product. The amount of money you get depends more on the location and product selection and less about the brand of machine. Lets be honest, someone who purchases something from a bulk machine is not going to care if its from a Vendstar or a Beaver. Heck, they don't even know what a Vendstar is.

caserri Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Even with records, I still wouldn't believe it. I know enough about this business, and enough about how easy it is to make fake records, to question the legitimacy of her claims. There is absolutely NO WAY she is pulling down 8K a month with 87 triples. I'm sorry. Just be wary. $75 to $150 PER MONTH from a triple is extremely difficult to obtain. Much less out of "most" of your locations. Plus, I don't know anyone on this forum who would relocate a triple if it made $50 a month. That's a gravy location.

dpvnc Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I talked to a guy last year bought 10,000.00 worth of vendstars. He paid to have them located and he told me he was making 100.00 a month profit off all of them. But maybe she has all the holy grail locations kind of doubt it. Buyer beware!

TKK Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 So y would anyone pay 20+ a machine in candy if it would take you 4 months just to break you even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 So y would anyone pay 20+ a machine in candy if it would take you 4 months just to break you even? 4 months to break even? That would actually be great but don't count on finding many deals that will allow you to do that. If a 4 month ROI is unacceptable to you, this business may not be what you're looking for.

To make over $100 for candy is truly amazing. I think somebody is yanking somebody's chains. Whether it be the person selling the machines or the person telling the story.

Buyer beware! $10,000 will prolly give you about 30-35 new Vendstars. I'm guessing that $100 a month profit is for her entire route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 So y would anyone pay 20+ a machine in candy if it would take you 4 months just to break you even? if you are looking for a faster ROI you might consider vending candy from an honor box instead http://www.sheridansystems.com/Qstore/c000013.htm the candy boxes cost between $3 and $6 get the corrugated plastic kind they will hold up better. I have heard these can do pretty well. There was a group of guys i knew about in Miami that did these and brought in a few grand a week. Two guys serviced full time the third located them full time. To make that kind of money you have to have a lot of them out there but at $3 you will see an ROI pretty quickly. You can make more money with the small chocolate bars but your margins will be lower.

Is she selling you her working route, or is she selling you just the machines? If I wanted to show you a rich location, all I had to do was go there ahead of time and plant $100 worth of quarters, then lead you in and let you see the bounty for yourself. And to answer your question about why anybody would vend candy, here's a thread you prolly missed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is the location. Her locations won't have any bearing on how well your locations do, even tho she sold you the machines. How much did she sell those machines to you for?
