Coin Operated Group

Blimey - I'm glad I never thought I had to dismantle a whole machine, just to remove the coin mech!

I had the same problem with the first batch of machines I bought from Hurleys over 18 months ago. The solution was as suggested above, to replace the top segment with a smaller one. But if you're then sticking a paper Childline label on the top segments of the machine, it looks rubbish and wears qui...

I did a £100 online Sainsbury's order last week, my first so £20 off at the checkout and only £1 for delivery: 30 boxes of 420g Cadbury Eclairs @ £1.50/box and 30 boxes of Toblerone Tinys @ £2 box. I thought they might call me when it came to picking the order and say 'we're not wholesalers' but it ...

Do yourself a favour, unless your a ltd co. run your business to the end of march, then do your tax return for year 14/15 to be submitted by Jan 16. I did a 15 month year for my first return. much easier for tax returns if you are a sole trader Hi Pete - can I pm you and maybe speak to you on the p...

Good luck with the sale. I think we spoke and I'd love my sister to buy it off you but she's not interested. Its too far for me. What's the overall average monthly turnover per site?

I paid (a site finder) a local car recovery business, which does ok (far from my best). Then they asked me if I'd 'sort out' the abandoned Snackacan tower at their other site. So I just took it out and put in one of my own. Similar happened at a local sawmill but in the end I took out my own tower t...

As a business a vending round is worth peanuts compared to the income. I havent seen rounds sell for any more than £150 per machine. i have sites that make me that much in a month! lol When you say 'make me more than that', are you saying you have sites which NET you more than £150/month? I reckon ...

Alex, its not surprising. A Bookers shopper can buy 3kg of mini eggs for around £10 or 60g from you for £1. Thats a bit of a no brainer really! lol. Well I've never bought anything from a vending tower myself so I'm constantly surprised that anyone does, so I thought I might as well give it a go. I...

Rubbish! So bad I'm embarrassed to tell you - but at the moment my lockup is so full of vendors I haven't the energy to re-site, it might as well stay there. Plus I paid a site finder for it - def not worth the money if you allow for the effort it takes to site and re-visit etc.

Hmmm… whereabouts was this 'Booker'? I've got one in a wholesaler's foyer but its not called Booker...
