Hello everyone. I am about to get myself into the vending business. I am weighing out my options of locations. Since I have never made a purchase of this type before, I am unsure about the asking prices of the different locations I am looking at. So my question when you consider a new location, how do consider what the value is? For instance, if you are looking at one that claims to do about $200 in sales a week, and is asking $2500 for the machines and location, would you consider this a good deal? Another one is asking $300 for a location that is only pulling in about $400 profit per year.

Is there any mathematical equations you all use?

Thanks
