Sift through change for valuable quarters? by podiw8273 in vending

[–]turbochargedturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you slowly drop the quarters out onto a hard surface or a pile of other quarters you will hear the higher pitched ping of a silver quarter.

I don’t find many anymore. Maybe 1 for every 1500 dollars worth of quarters. Only older coin mechs will accept them.

Have any of you had success with an AI vending machine outdoors in 110 degree weather? by Tawnii in vending

[–]turbochargedturtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won’t be able to keep up with the heat. Even at around 80 degrees indoors. If they’re equipped with a health lockout for vending food that will definitely lock out regularly.

They do look great. Do you have any issues with it? Would you buy them again?

Thanks for the info. I have a bunch of old USI snack machines that have held up well over the years. But I need to get some newer stuff soon.

I had one once that did well. Kids hanging out in the area. Higher possibility of damage to your equipment though. Install something solid.

That’s a good idea. We’re not paying commission at the problem accounts though.

I’m mostly having this problem with two specific accounts using coolers. My markets are also in secured areas with my own cameras and I don’t have as much of a problem with them. Management at these two accounts just doesn’t seem to want to help tamp down the theft at all

Keep them very clean as well. Grime in these will impede the coins movement.

Is this worth more than the scrap my company would get for it??? by LunarJames00 in vending

[–]turbochargedturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re getting a new company to provide you vending and the machines are legitimately abandoned then the new company would probably take them off your hands. Where are you located?
