[DK Vending]

I have an opportunity to purchase five, brand new, Vendstar 3000 machines with stands, locks and keys. Is this a good deal?

[davidgreyhound2]

it is a good price for the machines. however they are all plastic very cheap machines.

I would not use them. look for northwesterns or oak and beaver machines you wont go wrong with them.

Hi guys,

I am very new to the business and just bought the vendstar machines myself. I thought they might have been a good buy since they have removeble canisters... you don't seem to be to fond of them. What are your reasons why?

[davidgreyhound2]

vendstars have plastic coin mechs.they will not hold up to any abuse.also most locations will not support triples resulting in lost product.start out with single head gumball machines from northwestern
or oak and beaver machines.you can always ad heads if the location will support it.stay away from the vendstars you will be replacing them.




happy vending

Hi David,

Thank you for the reply. I am very green to this business and I will know for the the next purchase, to stay away from Vendstar and to get the single head machines instead. Happy vending.

vinnie its easier to ad heads as your route grows.start small and see how it gos.
allways use metal coin mechs.ask questions before you buy.there are a lot of vendors on here
with alot more experience than me.
