Hey.... wow. NO KIDDING!!! That's the same guy I was talking to several weeks ago when we almost made the CC plunge. Obviously this guy belongs in New York (no offense if anyone is from there), but this guy really took the cake.

Someone else on here somewhere mentioned that they had been working with Eddie as well and had a few choice words to say about it as I recall.

Just got an email from Red Bull USA, they state the following.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Red Bull has agreed to a formal buy-sell arrangement with Creative Concepts. While a contract is now in place providing them with a source for our proprietary vending machines and product through authorized Red Bull Distributors, terms of this contract are confidential. Please contact Creative Concepts directly for further information.

Just got another email regading Red Bull directly providing machines, they state the following.

Red Bull does not have a formal vending machine program at this time. Our distributors do work with third party vending companies who are already established and have a number of their own vending machines in different locations. If the third party vending company wants to get Red Bull vending machines, our distributor can provide them as loaners.

We do not have a program where we sell our vending machines to individuals. If you want are interested in purchasing Red Bull vending machines, you would need to contact Creative Concepts directly.

I've heard that your local distributor can get machines. CC told me that the distributors get 25 machines per week to be divided between all the distributors in the country. They get 2% of the production of the new machines and CC gets 98%.

Hello to everyone in the forum. I am new to the Forum. I purchased 5 vending machines from cc and their service was good in terms getting the machine delivered and the time it took. The one thing that they need to become better is there location services. I just finished placing my machines in 3 24hr Laundromats, car detailing place, and cashier. I am going to see how it goes. I wanted to ask those who have these machines what is the average price you are selling them at and how much commission are you giving your respective location. Thanks

So basically you can contact RBNA or a local distributor to get a machine for free temp. as a loaner? I would just like to have 1 to experiment with, move around and see what it does w/o obligation to buy. I can't seem to get anyone to return a call, I'm in Ky and even called a distributor out in Iowa. No answers. Is it the death penalty to a distributor who loans a machine out or something? lol. This loaner aspect needs some clearing up. Anyone know how long a loan is for if applicable?

I am a 3rd party vendor for my local redbull distributor, The loaners have to be bought by the distributors, at this time my distributor has no intentions of purchasing machines, that is why he has me doing the vending for him.

EURO who did you contact in Iowa, I called on a vendor there a while back with no response

I contacted Voss distribution last July in Iowa. He was nice, and said that Red Bull vending would not be a money maker. THats because he was one of the lucky young guys who a few years ago saw the potential of RB and drafted a bizplan and sent it to RBNA and got dist. rights. Hes making like 5 million gross a year and hes like 31. I called 2 years too late. LOL my luck. He had some machines then, but the old ones. DOn't know about now. Besides, most likely you would need to contact a local dist. Someone in your area. What does 3rd party mean? ANd how is your setup running. Making any profits?...thanks..J
