Browsing through a list of used vending machines for sale can certainly be exciting. If you find a good deal on a machine that’s in great quality, you could have the next piece of your vending machine network at a fraction of the cost of going new. But used vending machines can sometimes come with complications, and it’s important to approach the purchasing process with care.

A good deal now could turn into a bad deal later. Here are some things to consider while checking out used vending machines for sale:

Locations First
It’s always better to secure a location before you buy a machine. Even an incredible deal on a machine doesn’t do you any good if you don’t have any place to put it. Naturally some offers are too good to pass up though, so you have to make these decisions as they come. Remember: Size considerations and a variety of other factors will impact the type of machine you need.

Machine Condition and Type
There are two primary types of vending machine. Electronic machines are easier to maintain but more costly initially. Mechanical machines are cheaper upfront but less durable. If you find a great deal on an old mechanical machine, the potential for failure or repairs is well worth considering.

Shipping Costs
Good deals sometimes only stay good until the shipping costs surface. It’s absolutely vital to work with a trusted seller that’s clear and upfront about the shipping policies covering its used vending machines for sale. This helps you avoid nasty surprises during checkout.
