eBay the best place for 2nd Hand Machines?

Post by JustCraig »

Back in the day when I was operating - I used to buy a lot of my machines via the loot (as well as buying existing rounds and re-distributing the non-profitable machines)

Are there any good sources for 2nd hand machines or would people recommend eBay as a good starting point.

I am looking mainly for SWP's/Towers/Beavers etc. but the question about eBay is also general and aimed at everyone.

I will have a think about it and let you know. I don't have any sites in mind so at the moment it was just a general question.

My stratagy early on is going to be to buy to order.

Thanks anyway though - I will let you know if I decide to buy in for stock.

Sometimes it is worth a quick look on gumtree also, recently picked up a couple of machines from there.

If you type in Vending or coin operated in the search bar, and search the whole UK it brings up a list of what it has on.
