How much do you think a vending machine gun safe should sell for?

[stephen4785]

A friend of mine has ended up with 9 older vending machines and I was thinking about turning them into gun lockers and selling them. Anyone have an idea about how much the would sell for or how much I should ask for them?
They would look something like this.

But with machines that looked like this(I would decal the front glass so you couldnt see anything).

convert the toms into a tool dispenser and sell it to a machine shop

Converting into gun safe would be awesome.

I'm not sure I'd pay more than 300-500 for one. I doubt that means much in regards to what they are actually worth though. Not sure I've seen one for sale.

There's a guy on cl who makes and sells them. Might see what he sells them for and there would be a starting point.

I've seen a couple come up on the facebook groups and it seems like they were asking $500

Dunno if I'd go for the large decal. IMO, the point of using a vending machine is to "trick" people into what it really is. Ergo a better hiding place. Having the large decal would alert that the vending machine isn't real.

I figure I can make something that has some older candy bar logos and chip bags and little numbers underneath for the selection. Some people would notice but I think any theives that didnt know it was there wouldnt notice that somethings not right. Something would need to be there to cover up the glass.

You could take a pic of actual candy machine and turn into a vinyl graphic for the Tom's machine. I doubt you could tell the difference from 5' or greater.

Cool ideal, but I don't see them selling much.

Would need to appear non functional and in a shadow to pull that off.

Did you price one? Knowing who uses them, I'm betting they are steep.

No.

I've seen the pricing from other vendors, that just happens to be the first link I found. A lot of the pricing depends on the ui, and service/refill agreements. the really fancy units will even notify the vendor on the inventory levels

But for a smaller shop thats just looking for the initial setup, that they can do the refill on themselves its probably an easy way of controlling some of the lost tooling costs.

I've also seen them used at larger gun shops, as it helps stop the smaller parts from walking off the pegs.

I can see drink vending machine working since people have these at their home but the snack machine is not likely going to be something at a residence.
