eddie bauer does a great job, he gives you locations first and THEN you pay him. His locations beat the heck out of the national average too. It should be noted that the person who posted this message has not even done business with eddie! He is just whining because eddie wouldn't locate 1 machine because it isn't cost effective.
if the machines have a sticker on them with the owner's info, call and tell the owner you are interested in vending and would like to buy his machines. make sure you don't overpay.
if there is no sticker, ask the manager for the vendor's contact info.
there is nothing wrong with this if the guy wanted the route he would be taking care of the machines! he might be thrilled to hear from you and have you take the machines off his hands! but if he wants too much for them, pass. he may call you back a day, week, or month later and offer you a lower price after he thinks about it a bit.
Have you guys had good luck with the "homies" figures or care bear figures? If so, how much do you vend them for? These both come in the 2" capsules btw.
