My first machine

[Pat Pixley]

Well first thing  Welcome to the site , this is a great site and a great bunch of guy's here to help out when you may need it.

  And that is a nice looking machine you did a great job of cleaning it up and like some of the guy's have already said make sure your covering the cost and maybe making a little extra .

Thanks we are going to try to sell cans of pop for around 50 cents a can. I need to make some money to get a new coin mech. The one I got is giving me some problems. We did get the OK to sell pop on our floor from the people who are in charge of the floor just going to wait untill finals week is over and then we will post some signs and maybe get some business.

You should start making room for your next machine...it's going to be sooner than you expect.

find one of the soda signs that have a chalk board on it so you can post the prices of the sodas on it

Maybe your next machine should be a sandwich vendor?
And a popcorn machine.
And a .....

That is how I started. Had my 1st machine in the dorm at college. Sorry, you've got the bug now!

I do hope to get some more machines sometime but I will have to wait. I think one machine is enough to fit in the room and this is a great machine. The thing that sold me on it is the sign and the flavor selections. I really like the old logos and the whole 3D pepsi logo. I do like the simplicity of the inside of the machine. All there seems to be is some switches and some solenoids. It is also pretty strong. Someone tried to break into it before I got it and it looks like they used a crowbar on the door and the thing is still closed and seals like it should. I hope to start selling pop soon just got to get the word around that I am selling it.

Oh, word of the machine will get around, no worries there.  Probably having never seen an old machine like that will draw them in, and then to find out it's loaded  that will keep them coming back.  It has a lot more appeal and style than the bulky boxes sitting in front of the local Walmarts

It has gotten some people to stop and walk back just to see what it is and when they figure it out they think it is the coolest thing they have ever seen. I am thinking of putting up a sign in the elevator lobby that way people will see it when they are waiting for the elevator. Do you guys know if it would be cheaper to buy the pop from pepsi or if we just got the 24 packs from the grocery store?

buy it in bulk yourself from SAMS club, or COSCO. Don't bother with Pepsi, they'll just shove one of their machines in along side of it!  & the local Pepsi distribution center could even claim that you're cutting into their territory
