My two cents.
In the short run and the run, following your gut ( intuitive thoughts )are almost never wrong. I give you credit for looking before you could have leaped.

Anyone brought any red bull vending machines, any new news on red bull vending, very interested, thanks

CC tells me that, territories like Las Vegas & most of So Cal is already taken. I am just wondering what average sales would be as well as exacty WHAT$$$ locations are going to want to place machines!

I vend Redbull and sales are great, approx 30 cans per machine a day, 5 machines on my part time route, looking to have 100 by the beginning of summer

Why do I think your a plant from Creative Concepts or something? 5 machines at $23000.00 and you get 1800 Free Cases of Red Bull, but no support on the vending service? We will keep vending through our sandwich machines.

I am thinking that he means he is hoping for 100 cans a day, which I think is a wild imagination but who knows. I could be wrong maybe he is hoping for 100 machines. If I had the money to buy 100 machines I do not think I would be working. $2,300,000 drawing interest in the bank is a helluva lot better than 100 machines to have to fill in my book.

LOL
I read this post early this morning. I was thinking these numbers appear way out of whack.

What kind capital do you need to acquire 95 machines on productive routs that do not impinge on retail outlets? Like Saint said who will service and maintain some 100 machines? Gee what are your labor costs going look like or will you be pulling 24/7 shifts?

I spoke to creative concepts about this program. don't know if this thing is a sham or not. They only I do know is that after I got off the phone with the their salesperson I felt like I needed a shower. I found him to be very pushy and car salesmanly. That doesn't mean the program is a a fraud, just something I took into consideration.

I spoke to CC also. They are pushy and do not answer your questions openly and honestly. You have to pry stuff out of them. I've come to conclude why buy from them when you can purchase similar machines for thousands less and buy red bull from costco for about .06 more a can. After talking to them it sounds like all they do is sell you the machine and then you are on your own. That is all they want to do...sell the machine...on to the next guy...sell more machine...get rich ... c u all later

IF I were going to get a few red bull vending machines, from a source other than creative concepts (the new red bull machines), where should I look. I looked on Ebay and there are few of the old red bull machines. I've been doing my research, and I think this is a very lucrative idea, if you choose your vending spots very carefully. I'm looking to acquire a few machines and try it out. Also, does anyone know what the unit cost breakdown would be for purchasing red bull in large quantities (and at what quantity would the unit price slowly level off at)? I know it would vary depending on supplier, but I know it would not differ that much, if the quanitities were large enough. I want something more concrete to run my numbers on. After reading some of the posts, you guys seem to know what you talking about. I appreciate your help. I agree that think creative concepts is overpriced and not worth the capital investment. I'm looking at other alternatives. Thanks.
