Re: Just bought my first towers (South Lanarkshire)
BTW I was told by someone at tubz vending that their full time re fillers, that service their towers in Essex can manage a maximum of 500 towers a month as a full time job. so thats an average of 25 a day, I guess it depends on the density of the estate, I average .6 miles between sites and managed to service 18 in four hours this week, so I guess for my estate I am on track to be able to manage 25 a week and 100 a month with one full day a week, which is about what I want to commit to the business at this time. Obviously I am spending much more time on it at the moment, refurbing towers and siting them,, but once its all bedded down thats what I am expecting, and then we will see from there, perhaps I will also be a 300 tower man one day, but as I am looking at this as an early retirement income, perhaps not, we will see.

Re: Just bought my first towers (South Lanarkshire)
I average about 2 sites an hour. A lot of my sites have multiple machines and probably a higher proportion of them are commission which takes longer because of writing receipts and finding someone to give the cash to. 25 a day if they are all charity and close together, but they tend to be the lower yield sites. Id rather drive 20 miles for £200.

Hi Style
Just wondering what sort of sites are you placing multiple machines on?, and is that multiple sweet towers or capsules and other?
Cheers

Hi,
Social clubs/pubs I wil try and add a toy machine and pringles, possibly 20p machines too. Businesses that sell sweets well I will add in a Pringles. Toy sites, ie shops, leisure centres, play barns then multiple toy machines, kids pinball, Pringles. Whatever they will have that I think will sell there.

Hi Pablo,
My hopes of a vending empire hit a major snag as my car unexpectedly failed it’s mot beyond repair.
A great car so I was really shocked.
Sadly due to my weakness for buying machines I have no spare savings and not being a fan of taking finance it means I will need to sell some machines and reevaluate my plans.
I have no spare towers as they are going well but I have beavers and Tomy that I never stocked and sited so they are first for the chop so I can try and buy a wee runaround.
I have hardly been online recently as sadly my wee girl has stopped her daytime naps meaning I actually need to do a little more parenting now!doh!

Howdy guys
Tufty how many beavers do you have? I'd be interested depending on price and delivery.
Cheers

Hi Jason,
Doing ok?
I will send you a PM just now with some details but I have up to 19 available.
They seem to be very in fashion just now and fetch good money on Ebay but I would l Be to avoid all the hassle that comes with that!
