Vending Machine Business - How To Find Your Vending Machines For Your Locations At The Best Price!

Vending Machine Business

Where you buy your vending machines depends on where you live. I live here in Ontario, Canada. You might live in the states or somewhere in another country somewhere. Everyplace is different, but here are a couple of suggestions.

First you can buy your machines from a distributor. There are distributors that sell new vending machines and used vending machines. So how do you find them when you are getting started in the vending machine business? Well, first go to your search engine, like Google then type in used vending machine and whatever city you live in or something like that, to that nature. See what comes up. Also you can go to the telephone directory and try to find them there.

Finding the vending distributors is probably a good start, just to go see what they are selling and get an idea of pricing. Take a pen and paper with you to write down prices, and just say, “I would like to know how much these vending machines are, and I am looking to getting into the business. I am doing my research right now, and trying to find the best company to buy my machines from.” Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Next you can go to e bay or a buy and sell website like kijiji.com or Craig’s list to what’s there. Just type in their search box “vending machines” to see what is coming up there, or a certain type of machine that you want to buy. For example if you want to buy a Dixie Narco soda machine just type that in.

When you search e bay you will see what people are selling, what kind of price range they are asking, they give you descriptions and everything. You will also see if somebody is in a state near you, or in the same area and you can see what types of machines people are selling.

You get an idea of some of the pricing there. So that is one way. Also the buy and sell websites in your local community are great because you can find other operators and people that maybe are getting out of the business or just have extra machines that they want to sell and get rid of.

That is a great way to pick up a good deal on a machine right there too. Looking in the newspaper is another one just look in the classified section. People are always trying to sell stuff there.

Another thing to consider and this is a great one, buy from other vending operators.

What is stopping you from going to another vending operator in your community and saying, “Hey can I buy a machine from you?” You have to figure this, most vending operators work out of their homes. The bigger companies have their own shops and either have machines that are on location or are sitting in storage. Some operators might have a bank of machines. You wont’ know until you call them. You might hit somebody at the right time that you just call up and say, “Do you have any soda machines for sale?

Who knows they may also be getting out of the vending machine business.

I want to buy something used that is in good condition. I don’t want to spend a lot of money.” Say I know some of the different soda machines that are out there.

These are all just a few simple ways for you to find your vending machines that are out on the market for the best price.
