If you've deciding to start a vending business then you know all the choices that must be made when it comes to buying vending machines. If you've done your research, then you've probably looked at various types of both used and new vending machines, from snack and soda vending machines to bulk candy and gumball vending machines. As you've probably discovered the low prices of used vending machines is often quite compelling. However, what you may not know, and hopefully haven't learned firsthand, is that low priced used vending machines are usually priced low for a reason. If we acknowledge the fact that most adds for used vending machines, which usually read something like the following:

"Used Vending Machines for Sale! Great Vending Machines, Mostly Placed and Profitable! But Moving to Russia so Must Sell. Half the Price of New Vending Machines (or, some other bizaar story)"!!!

are almost always simple lies, plainly false. No sane person seels undamaged vending machines that are in good shap, located, and already, or even have a good potential to be profitable. That being the case, BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN BUYING NEW VENDING MACHINES. The simple truth is that most used vending machines for sale are either broken, mechanically deffective, or flawed in some other way, normally by the very person trying to sell it to you, or to put it more bluntly, the very person trying to rip you off! Now, I'm not suggesting that this is always the case. Some people actually do have to sell unflawed vending machines, in good machanical condition because of some emergencey or a lack of motivation or dedication. Yet it remains true that it very often, and probably most often is the case. Most often, the person selling you a used vending machine is someone, often rather knowledgeble in vending, that has either stripped the vending machines of essential parts, damanged or flawed the machine in some other way.

Given what has been said above, some of the many benefits of buying new vending machines instead of purchasing used vending machines should already be easily evident. If you're not yet convinced of the benefits of buying new vending machines over buying used vending machines, allow me to provide some further considerations that I think might sway you my way. First, when you buy a new vending machine you normally get a warranty with the purchase of that machine. Buy as many vending machines as you want and get a warranty on each one. It's easy to find vending machines offering warranties ranging in duration from three months to several years. This is quite an reassuring, especially in comparison to buying used vending machines that are likely defective or stripped of essential equipment. If you experience problems with your new vending machine most reputable sellers of new vending machines will simply replace the defective vending machine with a brand new one. Good luck finding that kind of guarantee buying used vending machines.

The above should be more than enough, take it from one thats experienced new vending machines and used vending machines and knows the business thorughly, BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN BUYING USED VENDING MACHINES.  Personally, to start your own business off the right way I recommend purchasing new vending machines from a unique, but credible vending business opportunity.  Some of these opportunities offer new vending machine with warranties, and long term vending business support.
