I had designed the VENDSTAR 3000 for a Doug Cooper in 1989 & is nice to see many of you are making money with them. I still have my original design drawings. The quick change modular container design is what is it"s greatest asset. Unfortunately for me I was paid a fixed price (I was an unemployed engineer at the time) , I should have been a businessman also and gotten royalties. The machine took off & Doug had purchased a large injection molding factory to produce these machines. I will say that Doug was an excellent businessman and give him all credit for marketing the VENDSTAR.. I was suprised once when a few yeas after intoduction I saw a VENDSTAR in a movie.

It means a lot to me that you watch my video and shared this information! I just posted a video about the durability of these machines and would love to hear more about their history. I would especially like to know the name of the movie. Thanks.

You’re a smart man! I started my vending business with 12 of these machines!

Where I live those machines are going for a crazy price smh.

I think any candy machine that allows you to change the amount of candy dispense to where you can make a profit is a good machine. That’s all I look for when I shop for candy machines.

Only 14 months ago, wow!!!! The air bnb makes your bulk business very convenient.

It is crazy, Some of these people asking outrageous prices on old machines.

I upgraded all mine with gumball wheels but you can’t upgrade to fifty cent mechs.

Have you ever considered getting into mini claws?

Yes many times, but decided not to every time. I will uploading a video about why I decided not to soon. It may piss off some people.

@@gumballgold cool, been wondering where you’ve been for 2 months

2:31 i’m guessing you’re stocking them with gumballs because gumballs are the cheapest type of candy to buy and for .25 cents the profit is alot? I customize my gumball machines to dispense at $.50 to make the profit even bigger.

All of my Rhino Pros and Classics have been upgraded to fifty cent mechs and selling gumballs. I am still waiting on candy machines dot com to come out with fifty cent mechs for all my triple shop machines. Watch some more of my videos to get the whole story on my progress in upgrading and growing. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Interesting. You made a point. Personally, these trays have no credentials.😂.

I can't take you serious with green teeth. But have 6 3000 and haven't had a problem in 12 years besides coins
