Steve, Sometimes brocken links are dew to the fact that some mail programs automatically insert LF (Line-feeds) within the text of the message... this may make...
Dorothy, Another long-winded answer by me....LOL. Great info on your reasons for selling cans at $.50/ea. I myself sell most all my stuff at $.65/ea. and some...
what city are you servicing your machines? I have raised my prices to 60cents and I do less of the volume. My bottle prices are 1 dollar for the 20 ounce...
Howdy Dorothy, The price you set depends on how much money you need to cover your expenses plus profit. The "big" guys/gals need to cover drivers, trucks...
I agree with the idea of profit per item. One company I worked for had a goal of 50% gross profit overall. That doesn't take into account commissions, taxes,...
Rick, Thanks for your info from the larger side of vending. We usually don't see much said from those of your size. I hope to see you contribute more often...
Nobeer, I still can't believe my eyes. You sell soda for $.35/can? At $5/case + tax (I assume you pay it not sell on resale license) and if there was a...
Even though you say you "do less of the volume" you need to understand that you could do about 20% less in volume to still make as much in profit that you made...

Howdy Steve J., We have no redemption fees here in Pa and since I buy most my soda at the grocery stores that I shop at anyways, the time and effort is no big ...
I am writing this primarily to Lindel, but I want others to read of what I have recently learned. Just two days ago, I received a call from a man who...
I recently landed a snack/soda location in a retirement home. Has anyone ever had a machine in such a facility and do you have any suggestions/recommendations...
Service is very important. You would be amazed how many people will tell you that your machine has been down all week, but no one thought to call it in. And...
Hello Jon I am not aware of any such law and if there was I am sure the person in charge of the vending at that building would know of it. I do know many of...
I am not 100 percent sure this applies to this case, but the Federation of the blind is very big in the vending business. There is a law by the name of...
Here is some more interesting info.... Today I read in the local paper that my kid's school district got $320,000 this year in commissions from Pepsi for their...

I was told at one timethat the Federation for the Blind does have a strong presence in some areas. I was approached by someone who knew that I worked at a...
I have a blind friend who operates a vending service here in Ohio. I is my understanding that any government building that is built or operates on any federal...
THE RANDOLPH-SHEPPARD ACT AS AMENDED AND AS CODIFIED AT CHAPTER 6A OF TITLE 20 OF THE U.S. CODE CHAPTER 6A-VENDING FACILITIES FOR BLIND IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS ...
Boy is this is scary..... My question is if this is legit as it looks, then why didn't the person in charge of vending let you in on this? I know this was...
I totally agree with the last statement where the blind have a VERY big lobby. Through the ADA (Americans with Disabilities) also which is even bigger. My...
I personally do not have any Royals but instead have mostly Vendo's and a single Dixie Narco. I started out that way and I only buy Vendo's. Not because I ...
