It sounds good, but say you were to sell for 2.50 (pretty reasonable for a vending machine and competitively priced), and figure the minimum you would need to sell to break even. > Only other outside thing is if the machines need maintenance then cost for that sucks, but from how it sounds to me, I’d crunch some numbers and probably wind up doing it. maintenance is something I looked past YES, but I dont think it would be a rediculous expense. As for selling the redbull, I just found out the gym used to sell them $4 a can and did pretty well… Im not sure why but the guy who was doing it stopped and that was the end of that. This being said, $3 is def a good deal, I might even up it to $4 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/vending-good-business-idea-or-no/255838)._
