Hey

Check it out. The V-63 can machine is now at work right outside my office door selling soda's & Redbull

It is loaded with  2 rows-Pepsi, 2 rows-Mountain Dew, 1  row Coke, 1 row Diet Coke & 1 row Red Bull.

The soda's sell for 50 cents & Red Bull is 50 cents plus another $1.25 placed in the bottle opener slot.

The first day sales have been brisk on M D & Red Bull.

Hey

Here is the VMC 56 on station at my work selling bottled water for 25 cents.

If you want to know why I have these two machines at my work it is because we just moved into a new office & this is a great place to display them. I am hoping to get a buyer through this exposure.

Hey Kevin - Great idea... and great looking machines. You should offer an employee discount.

PS - I'm doing the same thing... of course it's not been real effective for me because I work out of the house.  :down:

Hello

I had to get my first reload/restocking of soda last night. It appears that Pepsi & Mountain Dew & Red Bull are the big sellers.

Kevin,
Great idea having the machines at work.
That would free up space in my garage if I did that.

BryanH, what's that cr@p on top of your machine?!!? :angry: :D

Hey

The only issue about this selling soda's at work is the purchase of "product" at the store.  One day 12 packs of soda are $5 each & then they go on sale you can get 3 12 packs for $8.  

I need to stock up on Mountain Dew & Pepsi. Plus I just bought more Red Bull.

Coke products are the slow seller.

Kito - where've you been?  I actually put stuff on top just to see how long it would be before I was chastized.  But because you asked. There is an empty Corona case, an 19.6V drill and the VendingMiser gizmo I've been using (you can only see the motion detector part).  All of them are sitting directly on the machine with absolutely no protection for the machine :darn: .

Now before you petition Jim to remove my id, the machine needs to be buffed and polished and will then be treated with the care and respect you expect  :D .

Hello

Here is an update on my vending operation.

I am selling about 14 to 20 canned sodas a day & I sell about 3 to 5 Red Bulls a day.  So I  making about $5 a day from my soda operation.  

One big asset to the selling of sodas for 50 cents is the adding of a dollar bill changer to the entire operation. That changer really makes for easy operation & cuts down me getting asked to open the machine to make change.

One thing I am going to change is the VMC56 to a can machine. I will then make the VMC56 the Red Bull only machine.

Now my workers want me to add a snack machine so I am looking for an older red lance machine. I hope to sell candy bars, chips, crackers etc for 50 cents.
