My advice is don't.
A simple search for "business opportunity" at this forum should yield tons of answers. In a nutshell they are way overpriced and the locations their locators will find for you may not be worth much.
These forums have had recommendations for locators (once again search it and you will find them) which are reputable locators. There are all sorts of recommendations of where to buy both new and used machines. Starting out there really isn't a hugely compelling reason to buy new unless you have an already premier location set up that requires it.
I don't know 1-800-vending's current price, but for the $18,000 or so they are asking for 5 combination machines you can get 8 new combination machines elsewhere and probably 15+ used combination machines.

Thank you so very much. I have been researching this business and discovered that machines can be purchased on
Ebay and many other outlets such as Craigs List that seem to be quality equipment at resonable prices. The locators also have been helpful and willing to work with me. 1800Vending is not my best choice. I would like to also purchase an existing vending route.
