I've bought machines off of eBay and some of them are in great shape and some of them need to be trashed.  I have bought new machines from almost all of the companies out there and with Multivend, I never paid $350 (and, I only bought 15 machines - at first).  I would be an idiot if I spent $350.  It was about 20% less than that AND they threw in a bunch of extras AND they offer replacement parts.  Buying used is great if you can see what you are getting beforehand.  I've been burnt on quality and shipping - those are the two biggest items to look out for when buying used machines.  Also, keep in mind that no individual will support you with parts or warranties. . .</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11106396/111135794747662340/comments/default/112170766574913560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11106396/111135794747662340/comments/default/112170766574913560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vendingrules.blogspot.com/2005/03/buying-vending-machines-part-i-why-buy.html?showComment=1121707620000#c112170766574913560' title=''/><author><name>VendingGuy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14729109436815419077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://vendingrules.blogspot.com/2005/03/buying-vending-machines-part-i-why-buy.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11106396.post-111135794747662340' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11106396/posts/default/111135794747662340' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
