The vending machine business is a great way to make some money, like any business it requires investment and lots of expenses before you can make a reasonable profit, but once you get the business going it can be a really good business for you.  So it might take awhile to get adjusted or settled in to the routine, but I think it would be a great choice to give it a shot.  One way to help your business start off well is to use an inventory program.  Abatix.com has a supply advantage inventory program that will really help your business.  The program covers system selection and configuration, program details, delivery and installation, supplies and inventory management.  Here is a link to some more information on the program: ["http://www.abatix.co...sap_vending.htm" Abatix Supply Advantage Program]  

Hey everyone, I am new to this forum.  I just bought a vending machine about an hour ago.  Here is a picture of it.

 

If anyone has any info on this machine, I would really appreciate it!  

 

But my main questions are:

 

How do you change the price?

Can this machine have more than one price at the same time?

 

Also, what is this machine worth in good working condition?

 

 

Thanks everyone,

 

Kraig

 

 

 

Hi Kraig, in order to change the prices for your vending machine you 1, open the machine and find the control board, usually in upper left-hand corner of machine.  2, there is a blue mode button you press once.  3, on the outside of the machine it will say HD on the screen.  4- the top two selection buttons are the way you go through the menu inside the programming.  5-hold the top two buttons down at once until the screen displays "S-P".  6- to set individual prices for each drink, go through each button by holding the drink button down as the screen shows the price going up.  If you want to lower the price, release, and then press the button again and it will decrease the price.  Do this for each drink.  If however, you want to have all drinks priced the same, then just select the desired price on the first button, once this is done, hold the third and fourth button down for fifteen seconds and it will activate the same price for all the products.
