@Suuper Maantattz Thanks 🙏 Great to set goals like that with exact time lines because it makes you put forth more effort to achieve them. Make a conscious effort to take one little step towards creating and growing or improving your business every single day and you will be surprised after 365 days go by what you have achieved. Best of luck getting started and keep me posted how it's going. 👍🏼

[@ChromeVending]

Lol pretty much. 👍🏼

[@sierracabreana1890]

I saw one of your comments responding to someone else saying you can only usually get a few boxes of Mike and Ike’s at a time at Walmart. To save yourself time and money on multiple trips to get the candy, talk to your local Walmart’s manager and have them order extra for you. I’ve been a cashier and a stocker at Walmart and we’d have people come in all the time and get cases of items.

[@ChromeVending]

Thanks I'll do that! 👍🏼 I actually found a good bulk deal recently on line for the Mike & Ikes, but Walmart is always good for convenience.

[@chrisbaker2669]

I thought of a great location for your bulk candy machine. The dmv you have to sit there for hours it could be one thing to put a smile on your face when waiting for so long.

[@ChromeVending]

I'm in there pretty regularly so that was one of the earlier locations that I thought about, but they already have a bulk stand in there with multiple machines on it.That's a really good idea for a location maybe you can get the DMV in your area and let me know if you do. 👍🏼

[@redmatrix]

What about businesses that have "grand opening" signs? They may be in need of candy machines.

[@ChromeVending]

@@redmatrix Always a great idea! 👍🏼 So many ways to approach finding new locations and grand openings for new businesses can definitely be great places to ask.

[@duckduckgroose9517]

To everyone curious about if u have to pay anything to the owner. Ask them about your machine and offer 10% commission. That’s very fair

[@ChromeVending]

10% is a fair commission. My goal is to always avoid commissions, but to find a way to offer far more value then a couple dollars a month. 👍🏼

Hey Mike, there's a seller on eBay with 9 lbs of Mike and Ikes for $28 shipped. I believe it is cheaper than buying those boxes at Walmart. Wouldn't be a ton of money saved, but every bit helps! Have a great day/night.

[@ChromeVending]

Awesome bro thanks for the tip. There is 144oz. in 9lbs. After paying $.98 per 5oz box it comes to $28.80 sub-total. Sales tax will be $2.01 for a total of $30.81 so it is a better deal even if purchased at Sam's under a business account and exempt of the sales tax (which would still save $.80)...plus saving time and gas money driving to buy them!👍 I will add the link to the description below for anyone wanting to order Mike & Ikes at this reduced price. This will make the profit even better than my nearly 200%. Nice find Dylan Rhodes👍

[@ChromeVending]

I just went and found one even better check this deal out with FREE SHIPPING!!! amzn.to/2DFTFpQ

[@nathanrogers8713]

Odd how it works out that the smallest package instead works out to be the best price per pound. Best bulk price on Amazon for the bags works out at 20.8 cents per ounce where those 5 ounce boxes work out at 19.8 cents per ounce. I do find it interesting that your state charges tax on the candy. I live in a no sales tax state. Both the states near us have sales tax but neither tax food items. Even if bought at Walmart in one of the states (if it was taxed), if you have a business license showing you are a reseller, you are considered tax exempt.

[@Christopher_T_Paul]

What are your profits on the gumball/candy machines on average per vend in the US. I had over 100 machines (primarily gumballs) located and became concerned that inflation and commission was slowly making my machines useless, unless I uprated the coin mechs to accept more money, or reduced the quantity to a tiny amount. I eventually sold all my machines in their locations and went onto soda and snack machines. Do you have plans to upgrade your coin mechs? It is only a matter of time before 25c won't be worth your while.

[@ChromeVending]

At this point I'm still making plenty of profit not to worry because I don't pay commissions, but I am making more of a transition into full line and arcade machines. 👍🏼

[@Leanne_w]

I have no interest in getting one of these machines, but this came up on my recommended. I found the video interesting and I’ve just subscribed. Much love from England 😊

Loving the videos, bro. Just found your channel. How do you write up the contracts? Lawyer? Thanks again!

[@ChromeVending]

Thanks a lot man. I personally don't do contracts because it's easier for me to get locations without presenting a lot of legal paperwork. That can cause a business to not let me in. Plus usually once I'm in there with full line I'm not getting the boot and smaller bulk machines aren't worth the hassle of a contract to me because they are so easy to relocate. You can use them and I know plenty of other vendors that do, I just personally have chosen not too.👍

Hey I see in other comments that you always try to avoid paying any commission to the owner but nothing in exchange at all though? Other than money? Or do you just totally convince them?

[@five3ighteen76]

Do businesses charge for you to have your vending machines there or how does it work?

[@ChromeVending]

It's all up to you and what you work out with each individual owner.

[@lovemuffin1963]

Lol you don't pay the store sales tax but you have to pay the state that tax when you file your business taxes.

[@ChromeVending]

Of course! There are always taxes, but owning your own business and donating to a charity change the tax process. 😁👍🏼

[@fuzzball3702]

7*12 isn't 81. It's 84

[@ChromeVending]

Lol I know! That's why I put in LARGE GREEN LETTERS 84 right when i said it.

[@richardclark194]

How often do you check your machines?

[@ChromeVending]

All depends on the location and the type of machine. I always try to stretch it as long as possible though. 👍🏼

[@richardclark194]

@@ChromeVending Oh, ok. I was wondering cause you said you got like $200 in the video but I wasn't sure if that was weekly, monthly or so on.

[@ChromeVending]

@@richardclark194 Full line snack and soda machines you can check every week to two weeks normally unless you have a super high traffic location where you might be back a couple times a week or every day even. Bulk candy and capsule machines you can usually get away with between 30 to 60 to 90 day collections.

[@TwSClan]

Big question how do work out with the owners their pay?

My advice is to always avoid commissions. 👍🏼

[@ChromeVending]

Anywhere there is a lot of foot traffic. Malls, plazas, restaurants, car dealerships, flea markets, gymnastics and martial arts centers, factories and warehouses to name a few. 👍🏼 What kind of machines are you thinking of getting into?

[@ChromeVending]

@Anthony Best There really is no right or wrong answer here. Whatever is affordable to get started with. 👍🏼 There are so many different ways to approach this business. I started with bulk machines, but know people who have started with honor boxes and others who started with full line. Really just comes down to personal preference. 👍🏼

Nice

[@theoffdutypodcast]

Hey man are those Vendstar machines and if so, are you having many issues with them like I read others online have?

[@ChromeVending]

Anthony McNeil The biggest issue with the venstar machines are usually the flaps breaking off because they're plastic, but I always put the link for metal Flaps in the description below for anyone having this issue.

[@ChromeVending]

Definitely! FYI The Mike & Ikes I counted out for the purposes of this video is personal candy and not consumer candy! ONLY NEW, UNOPENED PACKAGES OF PRODUCTS GO INTO THE MACHINES! 👍

[@christopherram8948]

+chrome vending hey just wanted to know if you have pay taxes on what you can make from your vending machines?

[@ChromeVending]

It depends on how much you are making with it. If you have 2 machines it probably isn't a big deal, but if you have 20 machines or more you should probably look into it in your area to see the federal tax stipulations if you're not associated with a charity!👍

[@christopherram8948]

Chrome Vending oh ok. I’m from Canada and I just stumbled across you. I was watching your videos and there really interesting, which got me interested in the idea of starting a vending machine business.

@@christopherram8948 Thanks! 🙏 If you calculate your numbers properly you can create a nice side income and grow it to however much you choose to put into it.👍

@@roundtrip385 Yes, but it I'm always reinvesting my collections to continue to grow with more machines and more products to fill the new machines so it takes a while to actually build a very profitable route. Flipping machines has really helped in the process of developing my route.
