Vending Machines

It amazes me watching the amount of money people dump into these things everyday. I just sitback and think **** whoever owns that machine is banking.

I'm wondering how does one go about getting a vending machine and puting it on a property? And of course I'm talking privately owned not company machines.

yup.

i know our pepsi machine out front does some crazy *** business, as for the last 5 years i've filled it 3 times a week. (monday, wednesday, and friday). Get a nice stack of bills and a ****ing full bucket of change every week.

And thats probably some of the easiest f*cking money you've ever earned.

I actually found some vending machines in the classifieds. They're ****ing expensive! But It probably wouldnt take long to earn my money back.

you have to find a place that will let you rent a spot.

Yea thats what I've been thinking about. Seems like everywhere is already taken up.

It's hard for Uncle Sam to accurately keep track on many types of vending machines.

My father has a friend who owns 3 laundry mats and is a millionaire.

Most new pop machines are like $5,000 at least, but if you have a good location, you can make that back easily. You may look into ATMs too, that market hasn't been around as long as vending machines, you can get started with 3 machines for under $20k and a top performing machine can generate like $1000 a week, all you need is one really busy location.

yeah technically you just rent a spot, not own something so you don't really need to report to the the fraud system we call our government...just sit back and collect your monies.

Word, I'm going to start lookin for a location. Preferably a new places thats opening and speak to the head manager about renting a space.

friend of mine bought a vending machine company. He started off spending about 3-5k on the original machines and getting his new company name. the machines were already in a mall so he was able to keep their location. all he had to do was fill them and collect money. its been less than a year and he has bought probably 14k worth of machines but he bargain shops and gets them at half price, he covers like 3 different malls and the money just rolls in. the hardest part is finding a candy supplier that you like.
