I Bought 8 Redbox Kiosks!

[@spamanator666]

You are thinking small if you think someone is just going to gut one and put it in their garage as shelves. Some crazy physical media nerds out there still love and use DVD's and BluRay, if you managed to get some kiosks working, with say Arduino or something, or somehow set to freeplay they would absolutely love to have that in their media rooms filled with their physical media where they could use the menu to select and return their movies.

[@OriginalNethead]

What I was thinking. Somewhere some dude wants one of those boxes.

[@ResaleRabbit]

Not here. Couple of people wanted them complete, but didn’t want to pay more than $100. My guess is they planned on hitting them and selling the parts.

[@ebbamb]

@@OriginalNethead Can confirm. Source: am some dude somewhere who wants one of those boxes.

[@Holla28]

you should sell one fully intact with a couple of movies in for top dollar, for someone can keep the experience alive in their garage or basement.

[@johncolasanto605]

COOL Find... those rotator sections could probably be turned into a sorting station for small items, by cutting thin plywood dividers and then put it in some kind of base nto stand upright

[@Miguel-Arias]

Very nice ROI. Love the confidence you have to go into so many unknown spaces and making money from it!

Selling the stuff inside the box is an example of thinking outside the box. 🗳

[@eriktorgler7748]

You could sell it to someone as a shell for an arcade machine. It already has a screen or at least the hole for one and it has nice big sides that someone could put some nice art on.

[@NoWayNeverAgain]

Cool find, interested to see what you are able to get for all of it!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

I still wish there was blockbuster video rental near me. We don’t really have many Redbox nearby Minnetonka Hopkins, although surrounding cities, I think sadly either in cub foods I think that’s the only place I know of Redbox regularly.

[@OriginalNethead]

THe empty Redbox would make a nifty door into a mancave. Bolt it to the wall in a garage and it's ready to go.

[@fcorrine]

You can remove the barrel lock out of the screw handle, so a person can buy a new lock and keep the ability to close and lock it. Maybe a person could use it as a gun safe.

[@chrislongbeard]

Around here all the machines seemed to be picked up by one company. And that was mid summer, all were gone in a couple of days. I did get a few disks at the flea markets for the heck of it.

[@kwinterburn]

The "computer" is referred to as a "core" like a ATM it's a standard computer but for industrial commercial use , very cool , the cabinet complete would make a basis for a superb video jukebox the display is a touchscreen display and can be worth a lot of money as it will connect to a normal computer

[@Kobraki1]

You may want to hold on to a few of the dvds, us nerds love nostalgia the red box cases will become collectible just like the old blockbuster cases.

[@kwinterburn]

The shock watch is a transit impact display , used on fragile items , the installing engineer checks it's not indicating red before installing it

[@k.y.6148]

Before you go too crazy, are you sure collectors wouldn't like to have the working mchines?

[@SHERRY0010]

Red rum Red rum Red rum Red box Red box Red box Nah 😂😂😂 Interesting purchase . I’m convinced you could sell Swiss cheese from the moon 🌖 😂

[@djlumimies]

There are tens of thousands these cabinets, as a historic piece it’s ok if you have room, but cabinet collectors are pretty niche market for sure. I mean, the room it takes is so giant that after a while one might have second guess. Great video, I wonder if the turning tray could be re-used for cds, or is it just a bit too different?

[@kimfrommn7162]

You are an interesting Man!!! I Love how Christianna sticks by your decisions!! Cool Couple!!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@calhillman7764]

Nice, possibly put a mini fridge inside the box . It's an idea

[@theraz12]

I know you got space issues, and you're definitely making great money on a quick flip, but I think you're crazy to sell the discs in such big bulk lots. I'd hold back 50-100 just to see where the market goes. People are probably buying them for the branded Redbox cases and chucking the movies. $1 per case might be wildly cheap in a month, but that's a month from now, not RIGHT now, so I totally get it. Still a great flip.

[@albertpaulo6079]

I would take the screen off and put a triple head candy machine in there some how and put it by the front door for warehouse sales

John you need to start a new channel called the dismantler or dismantle for profit .I always like your vids there is always something different to watch.

[@Pjpgrappling]

Being the e scrapper I am, I'd be mining all the PCB boards for gold, with the other 20 40gal totes full I have!

[@TappedoutAuto]

Wish you live closer. Those cabinets will be a great place to hide your air compressor in the shop.

[@YunTo-HeckYeah]

I know what that was - that was somebody's Post-it note with their grocery list on it. It was probably stuck to the front of their DVD on the way in the car but was supposed to go inside the store with them. Instead, when they returned the DVD, the machine consumed the attached grocery list as well. These were usually outside of Walmart, Walgreens, Krogers, and other such grocery stores right? That's just what I'm thinking anyway.

[@greytbritton]

Wondering of one could rig up a rotating necktie holder out of the mechanics and the top plastic tray.

[@ManMountainMetals]

Thumbnail looks like portable potties. 😂

[@guruoo]

My first thought would be to turn one of those boxes into a server cabinet.

[@Alo4321]

i would never had thought of this. your mind works different

[@anthonylopez9142]

You could get these machines FREE. Go to the business that have them and ask that you would take them free. They have to pay someone to move them.

[@ResaleRabbit]

I would have paid $1000 just to not have to drive around and pick them up. They’re like 800lbs!

Did you include all the wires that connect to the credit card reader?

[@trueheart1372]

Theres no way that plastic is heavier then steel column if you cant make 20 dollars off it im thinking Wisconsin is as bad as ny for scrap

[@ResaleRabbit]

Steel is like $100 per ton here. These machines would get me like $40 each scrapping them. Not worth the effort to haul them away for that.

what's the newest movie you have in the collection from the red box kiosks?

[@LatitudeSky]

Sell as fast as you can, because there will be thousands maybe tens of thousands of these machines all being scrapped at once, nationwide. This will crater the price you can get for the parts. Even the movies. There's probably a million movies all hitting the market at the same moment. Yikes.
