I'm buying a soda machine for a school's workroom. My question is what is the difference in the Dixie Narco machines? they have like 100, 200, 300 and so on series.

If you guys could help me out and tell me what would be a good price for the different types of dixie narco and vendo machines I would greatly appreciate it.


This is one offer that someone made me: I have a Dixie 500 series, 7 select, soda vending machine for sale. Just had it checked out by a refrigeration tech and it is running well. Good working order inside, has a nice exterior as it has been on an inside location all its life. Also has a dollar bill acceptor. Asking $850 for it.

I just don't have any idea what a good price for any kind of machine would be.... I sure don't want to overpay.

If its a multi price machine, its a great deal. Several points I would consider...

1. What is the model of bill validator in the machine?

2. What is the model of coin changer?

3. Are they both working?

4. Have you tested the programming?

5. Is it single price or multi-price.

For a 500 series machine, $850 is an okay price, multi or single price. If you could get it for a little less if it is single price, that would be good. We sell single price machines for $750, or $950 shipped.

okay sweet, that helped out a lot. I hadn't thought about single or multi priced. I might as well get a single priced if they're cheaper. Im really only looking to sell cans. I'll have to ask about the bill and coin changer.
