    accepting tokens only?

    I only dispense $1 tokens,but the amount of quarters they bring in is fairly significant, and you may lose a bit of business without quarter acceptance. I would make sure i took cc's if i eliminated quarters.

    headlight restoration vend

    Even if it is an amazing product, if it can't sell a couple a week, it is taking up valuable vending space. Not sure what they cost or vend for, but if someone didn't like it would you want to refund them 10-20$. There are alot of vending options that are hard to keep in stock they sell so well.

    Property Tax Vote Today

    #3 was religous freedom, but was a waste of ink. 80% of the scared voted to keep our property taxes. But they promise reform, as i was wrong- ND is looking at $5Billion in excess revenue. Our Williston ND car dealers, are now #1 in sales of Escalades, and Corvettes in the nation according to...

    So What Else Can I add?

    How about a small drive thru coffee booth. We have alot of them in our area. Alot of $3-4 coffees, and open 6a-2p. The cost of a small 8x8 booth is low. I have a daughter that does hair, and booth rental is $600 a month, and about 20 stylists in their small strip mall spot. Seems pretty...

    Property Tax Vote Today

    Today our state of ND votes to eliminate property taxes. It will probably fail as they have scared everyone into the doomsday effect. No police or fire funding no city services. Our state has a $1B surplus, and is not able to spend much of the money new oil is generating. But the state and big...

    Cryptopay SS Credit Card System

    I am using our local newspapers wireless internet. Less than a 1M for $19 a month. The main thing needed is an ethernet cord. Mine which is slow will clear a card in about 6sec. I can't imagine that if i had the cable companies 20M it wouldn't be much faster as the data can't be any larger...

    Cryptopay SS Credit Card System

    I am at about 6 mo. Haven't reset modem yet. No problems except from those that won't read signs (2 or 3) so far. I hope you went with the new dixmors with brighter displays, and the count up feature- I think the most spent was $18 on one card. Hard to adjust to the lower amount when you...

    Anybody Paint Vac Dome?

    When my father had a body shop, we painted interior car parts to match or change the color of the interior. Autobody supply shops should have the product, it was like a dye type paint that also ate into the plastic for adhesion.

    Music in the Bays?

    Check with the radio station and ask them the rule. # of speakers and amount of power you can use without paying royalties. Xm has radio that is royalty free.

    If you are a partner, and a friend of these people, but they want a court order from you. They are not partners nor friends. You already know why they don't want you to know anything.

    New Functionality For my Changer

    I changed my rowes to mars, and had a condition where the rowe went out of service, and was quite frustrating. They had all kinds of suggestions, but what seemed to fix it was going to 500 bill box from the 1000. Is that the same kind of error you are fixing with the relay.

    C-Store (Iba bldg)lease setup advice sought

    I would have a lawyer with good contracts, as i have never seen a c-store without enough money to put their own wash in. The petroleum marketers assoc. around here tells them they can do 20% more in gas and convenience sales with a car wash. Sounds more like you do all the work, and they take...

    Used WashWorld High Velocity

    Alot of variables to get another 10yrs. If you plan to do 15-20K a year, not sure how many IBA's can do 260K. Also what is the price installed vs new installed. If the loan isn't that much different it may pay to buy new. Also your accountant can help with write off on depreciation, and how it...

    Golden Rings and Car Wash Pits

    Unless they rent a metal detector that can find gold, chances are slim of finding the ring. We have looked for many, and never found them. our pits are 3' and sifted through alot of dirt. Hopefully it was covered under his homeowners insurance.

    Bank repo

    If you do anything-- have a signed contract with the bank. Remember banks are extremely cheap and will use you to hurt your business, so get some real money from them as they are trying to make it look good to sell it. Basically the same thing that randy experienced- you will also from the...

    Keep breaking in my vending machine

    I guess shooting the guy in the hoody is out of the question as it is still causing the guy in florida too many problems. I suspect you are giving out the canadian quarters as they are magnetic. Any way to just give out the loonies or possibly tokens, only have to make all prices $1 increments...
