I have been researching machines and trying to make the best decision possible. I really liked the machines at GBW. My wife saw the same machines at gumballs.com and saw that they had a cash drawer for an extra $75. Is it really worth the extra money for a cash drawer. How easy is it to get the money out. I don't have any machines yet and have no clue on how easy or hard it is to get the money out. My wife will be helping me once my business grows enough since she is a stay at home wife. Maybe she can keep our kids occuppied with counting quarters

Also if anyone has advise on locating I'd love it. I'd like to self-locate and I assumed that the best approach is to just show up with the full machine talk to the owner find out if he has a place for it and if he does leave it there. Do you use contracts or just verbal agreements?

Thanks,
Joe

Don't have much to offer except that counting the coins is a pain in the arse. PLus they are covered in germs you don't want your kiddos exposed to on a large scale. Check the banks, many offer a FREE coin coujnting service, especially if you have your account there. Saves you TIME and time is money! If that option isn't available there are coin counting services, like the coinstar at the grocery, but they are expensive. IMHO....

i always took huge bags of quarters to the CASINO... hehe...
NO PROBLEMS there... they will count them, return for you the bad slugs and plastic peices along with the pennies and all the stuff you don't want to deal with.

Hope you have a casino next to your place.
