If someone had a vending machine for sale what would be your best advice as to how to figure out what is it's fair value is? Is there any site that is like a kbb.com but for vending machines? Or if you have a different idea how to go about this feel free to post!

Thanks in advance!

I generally just look to see how much they are going for on ebay

Age, condition, features, currency accepting systems, compatibility with upgrades, model, brand, all should be taken into consideration when buying a machine. Whether or not the machine is used, new, tested and working, not working, partially working all have a significant impact from the beginning. Its hard to speak in general, but if you have a machine that you are looking at particularly, I could give you an approximate value.

The short answer is no, no book or guide.

Like H4UV says post up what you are looking at and most times some experienced people on here can give you a good idea. Hard to say without knowing all the facts....

Right, I wasn't meaning to say that I was the only one on this forum who could tell the value of a machine. Many of the vendors on here could do as good, or better a job at judging the value if you post a model of machine with its condition.
