What Determines The Value Of A Vending Machine?

Due to increase in demand and usage of vending machines, several models of them are made available in the market. All an operator needs to do is to browse the net, select the machine with required features, compare its prices and buy the best one possible. We often talk about purchasing a vending machine at reasonable prices. How do we judge is the price set for a vending machine is reasonable on not.

What buyer offers us is the market value but what operators need to look for is its true value. Yes the true value of a vending machine is determined by several factors. Some of them are discussed below:

• Storage value: Machines that are used for the purpose of storing products are only a liability for the operator as they do not generate any revenue by dispensing products in them.

• Collector’s value: Sometimes very old machines or ones that have logos of a very popular brand or machines that are now out of production are preferred by collectors. The ideal ways of finding out their value is by contacting their product distributor or get them checked by brand collecting experts or refer to online websites in order to derive their present value.

• Scrap value and parts value: Old vending machines or those that are out of production have a value for their parts and scrap. If these machines are similar to the ones that are currently in use now, their spare parts can also be made use of by operators. One important thing which almost all operators need to remember is that vending machines have not changed much in the last 25 years and only vary slightly form one manufacturer to another. Hence their parts can be use for the existing ones.

Hence whenever an operator plans to purchase a new vending machine, he has to consider both operational and market value of the new machine while paying for it. Be watchful when it comes to machine value as they get depreciated with passing years. So, operators need to be calculative while paying for a new machine.
