purchasing a container of machines

[d mowery]

Depends on what kind of selling you do , My percent makes more than yours , 8-)

[RKnarr01]

but if you find a couple of more people who would go in on a machine because id be interested in doing that

[d mowery]

That's two of us dummies, er scuse me, interprising guys ,there has to be more of not to bright ones out there , lets see how many we can get on board even thoe this may only be a dream :lol:

[RKnarr01]

there would probably have to be about 20 people to buy 200 machines at say 60 dollars a piece then the cost would only be 600 each and everyone would get 10 machines to do whatever they wanted with.

[d mowery]

Some body but me got to do the math , I got nuff for bout 15 machines plus tokens and transformers

[Firewire]

Gwarzin,

Always curious about that.

ah ha, the blind will lead the blind, and then us blind will trip in a man hole.

that was my fore-sion in a cookis tonite,

[arbycoffee]

bad cookies, chinese food good, cookie bad

You certainly get some interesting fortune cookies Arby! 8-)

[arbycoffee]

they have three types:

love

life

real world, i pick real world

The great thing about fortune cookies is if you add the words "in bed" to the end of any fortune, it's always true. For those that haven't heard of this or done it, try it tomorrow Just add "in bed" to the end of whatever the fortune says and the rest will take care of itself!

Customs fees for the import probably run about $300 - 500, including surety bond and the import companies fees for filing the paperwork.

Figure another $200 for a container x-ray if it is your first import.

There is no customs duty on pachislos.

The exporter we deal with handles shipping. Figure around $4500 for a 40ft container. Around $3500 - $4000 for a 20ft container. Trucking has become more expensive lately due to gas prices and higher trucking demand; the price is likely higher since our last container.

~410 machine fit in a normal 40ft container. There is a larger 'hi-cube' container that can fit ~480.

Add on overhead such as labor, storage and parts such as bulbs and transformers, and well, your cost climbs quickly.

Here is your Key cost:

Lobor, you have S.S., unemployement to pay, insurance, workmen comp to pay, Meet osha standards for employee, if you don't you get hit with fines.

Also alot of times employee make a better wage than the owner does.

Kinda brings a tear to my eye thinking how hard it is for dealers to make money on these what with all these fees etc. Makes you kinda wonder why they even stay in business..... :wink:

Arby, I tried to save big ed and the twins from that hot coffee by changing the filter. At first I replaced that word with "gay"..
