    And I was about to get into that business, I have done a lot of research, what do you want to know? In order to make some good money you need to buy at lease 10 machines and you need to put them in a good location.

    As far as the locations go, you also need permission to place those vending machines Can't have them just sitting in the road
    1,000 business cards
    Full Color, Front and Back - no extra charge
    16pt (thickest available) UV Gloss or Flat, your choice - no extra charge

    $50.00 + Free Shipping anywhere in the U.S. - get this mailed directly to your home with tracking code.

    Payable by paypal only. You have to provide the graphics, or I can design you a business card with 2 revisions for $30.00.

    be careful...some relatives of mine went in for a vending machine business..bought like 10 machines...didn't get one shop to host their machines even though the guy who sold them the machines said he had accounts ready for them...

    My advice is to not purchase any machine unless you have a very good location already set up for it.

    Of course you should do that, also there are agencies that will look for places for you, but they usually charge a $500.
