siting a vending machine help

[procter]

ive been left with two pringles vending machines lying around in my shed due to a certain vending co disappearing, now id like to site these somewhere to try and recuperate at least some of the money ive paid for them,my problem is .. i aint no salesman..... just wondered if there was anyone or company out there that would help me find two sites (for a fee...of course) or any tips on how to go about finding a couple of sites,just seems a shame that they are in the shed because i havent got the confidence to cold call any pubs ect...

If you are selling pringles then I'd say best to look for somewhere that isn't serving food (so most pubs would sell crisps already). And would need to be somewhere people spend fair amount of time waiting.

Betting shop maybe?

i thought about betting shops as well as bingo halls,but dont think ive got the confidence to just cold call these places and ask to see the mananger and try and sell them a machine, ive had so many lows with these machines i think its just affected my confidence,damn the company that sold them to me with all the broken promises

I don't think you shud worry too much about the sales side. I suggest you find a location like a school or police station or somewhere where there is footfall, bus station etc and offer to locate the machine at no cost to the site owner. As long as you fill, and refill the machine and collect the change etc regularly. Or you could offer them a small rental of the machine, £15-20 per month and you give them a small percent of takings. Your problem is really going to be mantaining and servicing them. Alternatively, call a few vending companies and see if they will buy the machines of you.
