Hi y’all! after some research i’ve decided i want to ge to to the vending business. I’m doing a niche machine in hopes of good sales. I’m looking to buy a used machine in the 2-3k range off of facebook marketplace, and I wanted to know what questions I should ask the sellers, what I need to look out for etc. Also, how would I go about calling businesses and asking if I can place my machine there. Thank you!

      lol okay so maybe i haven’t done that much research. my research mostly consisted of me looking for side hustles that allow me to focus on school while also having an okayish income. i don’t need much. so yes, i guess this is my research. i’ve been reading up on machines though within the last hour and it seems like it’s more work than i thought. do you have any advice to offer?

      u/Alarming-Mix3809 is quite correct - you’re putting the cart before the horse. Dig in and really do some learning before you move forward.

      Start with figuring out what you want to sell, interviewing suppliers and getting reference accounts who are willing to talk with you.
