Normal venders dont have Prime locations like my idea and to be honest, the gym prolly WONT end up letting me, but if they do/did I WOULD be making bank… Looked into it today and there is no insurance you can get for the machines and I’ve already talked to a redbull distributer and CAN get them for $1 a peice thats why I SAID $1 a peice lol.
