Looking for some input from other owner/operators based on their experience. What would you do?
My 5 column Laurel mechanical vendor is basically end of life. I've replaced the coin mech, but the actual drop shelf magazines are worn to the point where the the bottom 1/3 or so of the shelves I don't bother loading b/c they dont drop reliably. I've got stripped screws inside that hold the coin mech. The list goes on. The cabinet is in great shape, the decal on the front is less than 1 yr old, but everything else is pretty clapped out.
So I could buy 5 magazines and a complete base assy and do a total rebuild for about $1033.44
I could buy a new mechanical quarters only model for $1910.00
I could buy a DigiMax quarters only for 2710.87 (this is the option I'm considering)
Or I go Full-Monte and buy a DigiMax with Cryptopay for 3280.00
I currently don't use CryptoPay on my site for credit card processing ( I use Hamilton & Exact) so this would be an add on. Not sure if it's worth adding Cryptopay if it's for just vending.
Wondering what some of the other folks out there had opinion wise.
I currently sell "little trees" for $1.00. I sell about 60/wk. I would certainly consider raising prices after this investment whichever way I end up going.
I'm currently paying $.62 for my little trees from KR.
So if I do the Digimax with Cryptopay
So it's going to take 3 yrs to ROI the machine at a $1 sell price.
Or 1yr and 7 months if I raise my price to $1.25ea.
Thoughts?
