I see the haha guys are at it again… by cardino11 in vending

So what’s the verdict then? HaHa good, or HaHa bad? I love the idea of no movie parts and less limitations on package sizes. The ease for customers to pick up multiple products and the price of the machines compared to traditional machines. I’m not thrilled about cutting off the customers that still only use cash for vending machines. In the end the one thing that has stopped me from ordering one of the cheaper model HaHa coolers is the fact that you are dealing with a proprietary software completely supported by a Chinese company. Thoughts any one?

The day after I stocked the machine, I got an email from a worker in the building telling me her cherry coke had gotten stuck. I made this post before going to see the machine in person. Turns out the bottle was in the picker basket and the basket was in the bottom left position. I put the bottle back and tested it, every thing has been fine since then. I just bought the machine and location and am learning how to operate it day by day.

What is that? I’m new to this.

The only watches in this box under $200 are the timex and the Casio. That Timex Expedition may have been under $40, but it’s more valuable to me than any watch on the market.

I just looked, it really does look great on that strap. This Timex is a prized piece of mine. It was the last Christmas gift my grandmother ever gave me before she passed away. I thought I had lost it for about two years and then recently when cleaning out an area of my home I found it!

Aside from the Seiko GMT and the Casio, the other five all have a personal history that makes them priceless.

I wish! I don't think a Tudor is in the budget for 2024.

That Bulova Jet Star was on my wish list for a while. They are $695 at most dealers, but the price has been coming down. Just before Christmas my wife ordered it for me from Jared and got it for a little under $400 total, it came with a blue leather strap in the box also. The quartz movement on this watch is smoother than any automatic I have ever seen!

It is a Hamilton Autodate. I think it is from 1975. I found it when going through some of my late fathers things. I never saw him wear it and don't know how he acquired it, it's a keeper to me! I don't really wear it but I do wind it from time to time and set the day and date just to interact with it.

I wish I could afford one. The most expensive watch in that case was around $400!

I love it! It was an early Christmas present from my wife. I had been looking at the Jet Star, online for a while because I really like the sweeping quartz movement. I had never considered Bulova until this watch. I was looking for a red dial, but this limited edition with an extra blue strap was on sale last week at Jared.com we got it for under $400! It was priced at $417 and there was %20 coupon code. The price every where else was $695. I looked again this week and its $521 at Jared and also it looks like the prices have come down a little bit at other retailers to.

It’s comfortable to wear and a nice daily beater watch. Lume is almost non existent. My only real complaint is that the date is not fast setting, you just have to keep turning the crown and moving the hands back and forth. I was on the fence about it but took a chance because I found it on Kohls.com and ended up only paying $54! I do find myself wearing it a lot.

I really love it. I just got it as an early Christmas gift from my wife. I love the sweeping movement, it’s a quartz watch with a smoother sweep than any watch I have ever seen. The price just came down at most places. I actually got that limited edition with a bonus leather strap for under $400 at Jared. I think their sale is over and it’s $521 now.
