What to ask for first when buying
Pay safely: use escrow for anything over a few hundred dollars
The buyer’s money sits with a licensed escrow company, not with the seller. It stays there until the inspection period the two of you agreed on runs out. The seller ships the machine or hands over the route only once that company confirms the money is there. So neither side is holding all of the risk. The fee runs roughly 1 to 3 percent of the sale price. Either side can pay it, or you split it. Agree which before you start, not after.
Buying a route: ask for these first
Copies of every location contract, plus an assignment or consent letter signed by each property manager. A handshake account transfers to nobody, and you find that out in week two.
Ninety days of sales exports or telemetry, machine by machine. Not a monthly average across the route — the average is exactly what hides the two locations doing nothing.
Serial numbers for the machines on it. You’re buying equipment as well as accounts, so check it the same way you would if you were buying the machines one at a time.
A written transition plan. Who introduces you to each property manager, on what date, and what the seller says when they do it.
Buying machines: ask for these first
Serial number and a photo of the model plate, per machine. The serial tells you the build year and whether the control board is still made. A seller who won’t photograph the plate is telling you something.
A working demo on video, one take. Tap a card, feed it a dollar bill, watch the product drop. Bill validators are the first thing to fail and the last thing anyone mentions.
A signed bill of sale. Each machine named by serial, the price written down, and the seller stating the equipment is theirs and carries no lien.
Who moves it, and who pays for that. A full-size machine is 600 to 900 pounds. Settle the truck, the lift gate and the stairs while you are still negotiating, because it is a real cost and somebody is paying it.
Buying leads: no escrow, but still check
You don’t need escrow for a lead. The amounts are small and nothing gets shipped, so the escrow fee would cost more than the protection is worth.
Never pay before you have seen the property name and a contact. A ZIP code and a category is not a lead. If you can’t tell who you would be calling on Monday, there is nothing there to buy.
VendBuddy is not a party to the transaction and does not hold funds. We are not paid to send you to Escrow.com, and we earn nothing if you use it. It is a licensed escrow company that has been doing this for a long time. You are free to use your attorney, a title company or any other licensed agent instead. The one thing we would argue with is anyone in this industry offering to hold your money without being licensed to.

VendBuddy connects buyers and sellers in a private encrypted chat here on the site, and your contact details stay private until you choose to share them. We do not hold funds and we are not a party to your deal — for anything over a few hundred dollars, use a licensed third-party escrow company. We take no commission and no cut of the sale price; once a seller marks a listing sold we ask, once, whether they want to tip, and 10% is where most who tip land. We have not audited any seller’s revenue, contracts or equipment, so verify all of it yourself and use a written purchase agreement. Every listing is confirmed with the seller by a person within 24 hours before it goes live.
Questions
What is the VendBuddy Marketplace?
One list of listings from VendBuddy members and partners across the United States and Canada: vending routes, individual machines, locations, and wanted requests from operators. Anyone can browse. Members list free with no commission. When you raise your hand on a member listing, you and the seller are connected in a private chat. VendBuddy is not a party to any deal and never holds the money.
How do I talk to a seller?
Hit "I am interested" on a listing and a private conversation opens between the two of you on VendBuddy. Both sides get a link by email and can start talking immediately — nobody has to wait on us to make an introduction. Your contact details stay private: neither side sees the other’s email address unless one of you chooses to share it in the chat. Messages are encrypted where we store them and sent over TLS; you, the other party, and VendBuddy support in a dispute can read them. Never send a deposit through the chat — VendBuddy never holds funds, so use a licensed escrow company for anything over a few hundred dollars.
How does priority access work?
Every live listing is visible to everyone the moment it goes live. Priority members, paid VendBuddy plans and active trials can message the seller straight away and get an email the moment one posts inside their radius. Anyone else with a verified email can message the seller once the listing is 7 days old. Priority is a $49 one-time pass, and it is included automatically with any paid VendBuddy plan or active trial.
Does VendBuddy take a commission on the sale?
No. There is no listing fee, no success fee, and no markup on the asking price. We never hold your money either. We are not a licensed escrow agent and will not pretend otherwise. We point both sides at a licensed escrow company instead. Be suspicious of anyone in this industry who offers to hold your money without that licence. The one thing we do ask: once a seller marks a listing sold, we ask whether they want to leave a tip. Most who do land on 10%. It is asked once, and skipping it changes nothing. We are otherwise paid by the Priority Pass and by VendBuddy subscriptions.
Do you verify the routes that get listed?
We confirm every listing with the seller within 24 hours before it goes live, and we reject anything that looks like a broker fishing for leads. That is not an audit. We have not seen the machines, the contracts or the bank statements — you must verify revenue, location agreements and equipment condition yourself before you pay anyone.
