Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to start?
You can start with one used machine for $1,500–$3,000 including initial inventory. The book breaks down every cost category with real price ranges.
Do I need a truck or van?
No. Many operators start with a sedan or SUV for restocking. Machine delivery can be handled by the seller or a local mover.
How much can one machine make?
A well-placed machine typically generates $50–$200 per month in profit. The book includes real revenue data from different location types.
How much time does it take?
Most operators spend 2–4 hours per week per machine for restocking and maintenance. The book shows how to optimize routes to minimize time.
Is this passive income?
Vending is semi-passive — it requires regular restocking but can run without your daily involvement. The book explains how to make it as hands-off as possible.
