Well, I bought 3 machines from CC last fall 2005 and received them at the end of 2005 and locator found places for them about a month later. They are doing terrible, about 1 can a week from 2 of them, and attempted break-in of those 2 machines. Just waiting for the CC warranty to come into play.

5 BRAND NEW MODEL RED BULL MACHINES FOR SALE-$14,000

ILUVCC,

What type of results are you getting? I have been reading posts on this subject for months and you are one of a hand full of people who have said something positive about CC.

Let's not kid ourselves here. What an absolute crock of pure bunk this is! This guy OBVIOUSLY works for CC, I mean come on, who else in their right mind would have a name like I-LUV-CC? Makes me what to puke. Eddie, is that you? Why don't you take your sleazy New York tactics and go away.

I agree im new here so i called royal to get some info and they were very helpful and said that cc will definetly be out of the picture from redbull.

Im trying to get some good info on were to buy and a good model of machine.

Mr. B, if you are looking for just a generic machine which you can use to vend different beverages, there are a large number of choices for you. Several of the operators on this board have recommended the BC-10 vendors. They are ten selection machines which are easily modified to accomodate many different types and sizes of beverage packaging. I have heard many positive comments about them from several people. They are also very reasonably priced. On those, telling you one place to get them would be a disservice, since many different vending machine sales companies offer them. Your best bet is to check prices online and locally and shop around for the best deal/company to work with. It's probably worth it to pay a little more to your local vending sales company if you can. The advantages of dealing with a local sales/support channel can't be overstated in this business.

If you are looking for the Red Bull branded machines, the only thing I can suggest is talking to your local distributor and mentioning your interest. RBNA is making an announcement detailing their new vending sales on May 15th, and it appears that will be handled almost entirely via local distribution channels. However, Royal offers many other machines which are not branded, and I have nothing but positive things to say about our Royal vendors. They are quality machines. I'm not sure that you can buy from Royal directly, they will probably refer you to one of their authorized sales agents in your State, but I wouldn't make a decision without at least considering them.

Also, you might want to join www.vendingtalk.com and have a look through the various threads. There are alot of well established industry professionals there, and there is plenty of good material there to help you with your research.

Best of luck to you...

LMAO- ILUVCC has gotta be eddie.

RB couldn't keep up with ccs sales...LOL

I end this post with a quote from Eddie (In strong New York accent):

"Im not twistn your arm here... these things are selln like hot cakes!"

Hey Veruca, did RBNA ever make that announcement on May 15th? If so, how and where?

It was the 18th, but my distributor got it out of them about a week early. The word is that the MerlinRB machines will run about $2500 through your local distributor (though I'm sure the price will vary depending on where you are), and delivery times are estimated at about two weeks.

how can u contact the local distributors?
