I don't know if it's the guy operating it or the one that sold it to him.

I'm willing to bet most of the time it's the guy that SOLD the unit who is making the money.

I actually looked into those things a couple years back and they are very expensive ($125,000 was average). Now I'm sure there are some smaller knockoff units out there for cheaper, but they won't make much and will be constant maintenance.

The main ones you see around town (with the penguin on the side of it) are very expensive, protected by territory rights, and are a lot of maintenance. They did have some smaller units, but the ones that are built to be able to handle a lot of ice and generate decent money are going to cost at least $125,000.
