Vending Machines?

What does everyone think about this in general? 1800vending.com

What exactly are you asking? If we like the domain or if we like the concept of starting a vending machine business? I say the domain is alright; and go for it.

I advise against going into the vending machine business. I did it myself and lost lots of money in it. I had 21 machines and couldn't turn a profit. If you are willing to lose money, or make hardly a cent then go for it.

I was asking in "general" what everyone thinks about it.

Thanks myfayt for the info, damn 21 machines and you still made nothing?

I just dont find anything exciting about vending machines AT ALL

There's nothing exciting about insurance at all, but insurance companies are huge players in the global economy. Income is income.

Yeah my products would spoil before they were sold many times (even in high traffic areas), the machines have to be cleaned before putting a different product in, if an sells too slowly you have to take it all out, by doing all this you lose lots of money in new stock.

The food prices have gone up, so 25 cent machines don't make any money when your prices are 18 cents per ounce and plus gas to get to the locations, and any royalties you pay out.

Then you have to purchase 2X the stock of products so you will have them on hand to fill them, which makes you even more in the red.

Do you have the phone number 1800vending? If you don't, to me its pointless to have the site with that name.

These machines use to be more popular than they are now. Some hospitals have them, some big corporate snack rooms have them, some small airports have them. Basically anyplace that there are people that may want some real food but may not be convient to have a kithen and staff on hand.
