Very cool..my local distributor stated he might be able to get me the machines with CC was still in...now I have nothing to worry about. I am very lucky scoring the deal on my used (but new) machines and now not having to worry about CC.

Veruca Vending

The markup on the generation 1 machines were in the range of $900- $1200 depending on what price they suckered you into. These can be purchased directly for $1850. I have heard the first sales of these were $9995 for 3 machines. So I would guess they were making about teh same on the Merlins maybe more.

Hope this helps..

A month or so ago my local distributor told me he could get the machines at $2,500 I believe.. might have been 2,000- but he wasn't positive. I too am awaiting concrete figures. We picked up an order from them just before the easter weekend, and the guy who helped us has not yet heard of the CC news, and is still awaiting info on the machines. I'll also post any numbers I find.

LoL @ the lawsuite...I wonder if Eddie will take me to small claims for the $80 he thinks I owe him, lmao. That is something I will never forget. Good riddance CC!

Hey veruca and others, are you working with any software to manage your inventory/finances? I've been workin on a database in access to track and manage all areas of the business- maybe we can collaborate?

I'm using Quickbooks. Haven't spent a lot of time with it yet aside from setting up the basics. You can track inventory, sales tax, etc...

I heard about the coupons..Ill be contacting Tom.

I was trying to build something where I can pull up a page for each individual machine to view stats, be able to print commission invoices from this, and also view an overall summary by many categories.

has anyone dealt with evans consulting for a placement?

When going to a potential location, what kind of information do you bring to promote the machines?

Does anyone know what kind of commission locations get with coke or pepsi or what peaks their interest? Are most locations providing a service to their employees or do they expect big pay?

A lot of questions I know, thanks for any help....

I have dealt with Evans Consulting. I got crappy locations. Now I even got kicked out of one location, but can't get David Evans to call me back.

He buddy how are you I am in the process of really considering purchasing 3 machines from CC in the Maryland/DC area..

What hidden fees are there?

How do I ensure thru Creative Concepts that I get a good location? what types of establishments are your machines in?

When restocking the product do you go thru Creattive Concepts or do you purchase thru Costco, Sams Club etc..

Thanks
