Um, I have a much different perspective.

A location is only as good as what it would cost a locator to get for you. Locations can be had for $50 on average.
The machines are only as good as 1/2 the price of new. If it is a NW Super60, then 1/2 of the price of one from Sams is $35. Honestly, would you pay retail prices for used equipment?
A Vendstar is only worth about $35 also.
A pipe stand is about $25.

So a single charity location using a NWs60 on a pipe stand would be worth no more than $110.

That is just an example.

This is the only way to price a route in my opinion. Why would/should you pay more for a route than what you can replicate it for yourself?

....when I asked a question on the blog..most of my topics were deleted.....nothing wrong with my questions...

...cautioness is the key for the blogs on the site are written by Eddie and other ones that work for him....sounds too good to be true......

Well it has been quite some time since I've posted anything here but I feel compelled to defend the integrity of my forum.

Lewis,

I resent the notion that you feel that VENDiscuss is somehow related to Eddie Bauer. Yes, he does advertise on my forum but VENDiscuss was founded and is owned by me. I can assure you that I am NOT Eddie Bauer nor have I ever met him in person. The reason he has a very good reputation on my forum is because he seems to produce RESULTS. I understand that he can appear to be difficult to work with at times but that is a fair trade off for receiving quality service.

Aside from your uneducated negativity towards Eddie, I am most disturbed that you have accused me of deleting your posts. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not in favor of deleting anything. In fact, none of your posts have been deleted! Yes, I merged a few of your threads together because you took it upon yourself to spam my board with the very same question in every category. I simply moved all your posts to one easy to follow thread. That's called "efficient administration".

To anyone else reading this who is not a member of my forum, be advised that this person, Lewis as he is also known as, doesn't even own a machine. He has no clue how this business works and has been very quick to spew negativity on vending forums about something he knows very little about. Members of my forum are very intelligent and can sniff out a trouble maker very early on. They also are very quick to point these individuals out. As such, it is also my opinion that Lewis, "Pounder", is nothing more than a forum troll looking to start trouble. Take his "review" with a grain of salt.
