Default Anyone here own vending machines?

I've had this on my to do-list and it's about damn time to get started. I'm in a financial position where it makes sense for me to do this given the amount of risk involved. I already have a couple locations in mind. It's just a matter of how.

I've seen a number of advertisements that go something like..."Buy xxx Vending Machines, Great Location for only $10,000!". Recently, a family member opened up a $.99/Dollar Tree/etc. type store and did it through a small corporation that does most of the start-up tasks for you, supplies you with the merchandise, puts it on the shelf, etc. but charges $20k+ for their services. What's so hard about driving down to L.A., buying some cheap merchandise, driving back, and arranging the products on the shelves? Definitely not worth an extra $20k imo. Anyways, I'll let you guys/gals take it away.

That's ok; they're machines which will need maintenance. And that's where I'll make money
