    Old Candy Machine

    I picked up one of them old candy machines, with the pullout knobs, this week. Still works too. Looked into it and it's from the 1970's, parts still available, and I can get the manual on E-bay for 20 bucks. Also found a site that tells me how to raise the prices. They go up to 65 cents. Got it set up in my poker room. Having a party tomorrow so gonna have to make sure to fill that sucker up. Try to make some money in case I lose all mine at the poker table.

    Eat. Sleep. Scrap.

    My in laws have an older looking type snack/candy machine in their shop. Not sure where they got it from, but they own it.

    They pull in roughly $400 to $550 per month off of it.

    Is that profit or just sales?
