I had a buddy that bought a vending machine out of the newspaper and had the same sort of luck. I guess this is a pretty common scenario with vending machines. Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

I recall reading an actual success story involving vending machines on some popular PF blog. I can't recall where it was posted, but the guy started by buying the entire vending machine business from a lazy wannabe-entrepreneur for a pittance - I think he got the entire route, as well as the machines, for about $2,000. I suppose you could think of the time and money spent on this whole affair as an investment of sorts: it was probably the biggest mistake you've ever made, and you'll be more careful in the future... *shrug* I don’t mean to gloat and I sympathize with you wholeheartedly, but all of this could have been avoided had you done your research… I recall reading an actual success story involving vending machines on some popular PF blog.
