One way to find vending machines in your area is to use a vending machine distributor. A great way to do that is by looking in your telephone book. Or, what a lot of people tend to do now-a-days is use their local search engines like Google, Yahoo or MSN.

Just go to your search engine bar and type in vending machine distributor and make sure you type in your city name in that search phrase.

The web pages will come up, a list of them and you can scroll through and find one in your area. If you live in an area that has a metropolitan population in the tens of thousands then you should be able to find a distributor to get some prices and ideas of what you're looking at.

The second way to do this is to go to e bay and type in vending machines into the search bar, you can find a whole different variety of pop machines to choose from and find a lot of people selling them. I'm talking hundreds and hundreds of machines that you will find.

That's a great place to actually sit and spend a little bit of time looking for the different types of machines and getting to know the price ranges of the ones that are being sold on there and see how much money you should be spending.

Another great website to find used soda machines is Kijiji. Kijiji is not like e bay. E bay is an auction site whereas kijiji is more of a classified site, an ad site where you can post an ad and you can respond to an ad.

This company is worldwide where you can get very specific with your city and find soda vending machines in your community and find people in your local area. Here you will find either other vending service operators that are selling machines or possibly some people who have started in the business but now are just selling off their machines.

In any case be sure to ask some questions before buying any machines. Be sure that the machine is in good working order and ask them to test it out when you go and look at it. The last thing that you want to happen is that the machine doesn't work once you bring it to your new location.

Those are a couple different ways to find your soda and pop vending machines to get started with.
