Well 3 weeks has past since my last post and the guy came back to me and is willing to sell the route to me for 850.00. I still have not even seen the route so I know I need to see the locations. I will not give him 850.00 but should I go up a little in price. My concern is that he might bad mouth me to the current customers, maybe he will tell them that I will raise the price of the candy in the machines and have them kick me out once the deal is made. I figure if everything looks good after seeing the route maybe I should offer like 650.00 to make him happy and stay on his good side. What is everybody's thoughts???
He got back to me and said he would not sell for 500.00 he would rather leave it to a friend instead. I asked for his rock bottom price and he said he would try to sell the route over the next 3 wks. If he has no bite he would be willing to take 850.00. I told him to contact me in 3 wks if he found no buyer and we would talk some more. I may consider going up a bit if he contacts me in 3 wks but I know at that point he will really need to get rid of the route. Thanks for the feedback guys.
I offered the guy 500.00 for the route. I figured 75.00 for the money it was grossing ( based on 15.00 per machine ) 300.00 for the machines based on 60.00 per machine used and 125.00 for the locations. He told me he had an offer for 1000 and I told him to keep me in mind of it fell through. Today he e-mailed me and told me I can have it for 1000 and I told him I need to stand firm on the 500.00. I am waiting for his reply. What do you think?
