Questions to ask before purchasing a new or used live bait vending machine.

If you’re buying a used machine, is that person, going to show you the best way to pack and vend minnows. Or what’s the procedure, for keeping crawfish in a bait machine. Or can he tell you, which switches to turn on, to accept the correct bills if replacing a bill acceptor?
Chances are, the person is selling you that machine, because he couldn’t make any money with it. The main reason for not being able to turn a profit with a bait machine is the owner not knowing how to operate it properly.

If buying a used bait vending machine, ask the owner, if the bill acceptor has been upgraded to accept new currency. Ask if the control board has been upgraded, to have the latest functions. Also ask, if they offer tech support.

If buying a new bait machine from a manufacturer, ask them, what is the best way to pack minnows or any question related to live bait. These people make and sell many different styles of vending machines. They are not in the live bait business.

If buying a new bait vending machine, ask your sales rep, to explain in detail, the financing program. Ask if it is add on interest, or simple interest. Educate yourself. Search on Google under Rule of 78. Find out what the real interest is.

If buying a new bait machine, ask your sales rep, how many years the warranty is on the bill acceptor and coin mech. It should be 3 years.
