Hello from Yorkshire

Post by PK Vending »

Hello all
New to forum, well I say that. I have been hanging around a while so thought best introduce myself.
Quite new to the business but steadily getting the hang of things.
Well that's me for now, hope to speak with you all soon

Hi
Not been going long, so only have 4 Bouleys 8 gatchas and 3 kiddy rides at present.
The Novelty toy stock is going ok but the Tomy stuff is a bit slow at the moment. Hoping to buy up some machines in the new year and hit it hard next spring.
Currently looking for a coin op hot nuts, Lonpen or similar if anyone has one?
cheers

Thanks, have emailed them to see if they ship single items.

Have also been looking at a Canadian supplier, HNM.
They have a nice looking unit, but want $2000 C.
So roughly £1200 plus tax and delivery!
Lonpen is the favourite as you can get "tax assistance" with the Chinese ;)

HI Mr PK

Just thought I would make a shameless plug that as well as my vedning I work for a freight company who's main market is imports from China, so let me know if you want some prices / or general advice.

I keep meaning to put an "idiots" guide to importing on the forum but never get round to it.

Vending wise I have my doubts how profitable these hot nuts are but best of look to you.
