Recommended Site Finding Service? What is the going rate?

Post by **JustCraig** » March 18th, 2012, 8:58 pm

How much is a fair price to pay for a site (via a site finding service?

I have just spotted this on eBay (between £50-250) seems a bit expensive to me (well £250 does anyway)

Who do people on here use (people who are not tied in with franchises'), or do you just site them yourself?

I imagine I will be doing a bit myself to start off with but I think its a good idea to weigh up all my options.

I do it myself, others use tubz vending (£20 ish) but I hear that if you stop buying your sweets from them they try and do the dirty on your site, lots of examples on here. Also Hurleys charge a tenner but I think they have to be help for heroes? There is also Happy Dave on here who would come and hit an area for you.

Think you need to get started on your own though to get a feel for things, run a few machines and learn I guess then look to expand from there. In the meantime keep your costs down

Hi there. Ours is a tenner, but doesnt have to be H4H - its just the H4H idea works better.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Paul,

A tenner per site sounds reasonable.

I work full time so will prob be looking at investing £200 per month out of my wage into machines and stock plus another £1-200 or so out of the profit that one my websites takes each month (so optimistically I have set myself a target of about 3-4 per month)

Are there any requirements in terms of machines etc? i.e. does it have to be a certen type of machine (i.e. bulk/tower)? Is that price per machine or subject to a minimum order of 10 for example?

Sorry what is H4H?

I do like the idea of siting the machines myself (or at least some of them) and will defo have a crack at it locally - the offer of £10 per site seems reasonable though.

you obviously have to buy your stock from Hurleys though

Yeah, that's understandable.

Machines as well?

I got alot of sites myself which is the cheapest option. But I have some sites that tubz vending got me and to be honest they are brilliant sites. 5 of them average 140 sales per month! Also I filled one up on Friday and got a call on Sunday to say it was empty, at they end of the day it's all about sales. Credit where credit is due
