Baldona someone pays me for the ice machines as well. Here is what happens, most stores they force them into long leases on all these machines like 20+ years for me, I found a loophole in that the contract for the ATMs was signed previously by a cashier who never worked for me but the previous owner so I got out. I imagine most owners have no clue what these machines make I know I never did till a friend of mine who had a few in bars and other places told me. For me I had businesses to run and I figured a few dollars from the ATM + ice machine + air machine was not something worth my time. Today I know that's not true and 5 atms is easily $5000+ a month total alone. The air machines I don't think make too much so I'm not worried about that, and the ice bags I also don't want to get involved with bc I get paid either way only on what sold and lots get stolen and it's not my problem. In theory most stores will probably make say $400/mo between ATM payments + ice payments + air machine id imagine at a minimum so most probably would rather not deal with headaches of owning/maintaining them. Knowing what I know now, there's a reason companies will pay you $200/mo to put an ATM at your store and its that's for $2400/year they probably net $3600/year at a minimum

Who uses an ATM away from their bank?
I do. I travel to places where my local bank doesn't have a branch. I also get reimbursed the ATM fee so I get my cash and didn't have to spend money on gum or go into a store or pay a fee.

Get a few video poker machines. They make more.

bad idea unless you have 50k up front. I worked at a bank and had 2 customers who ran independent ATM's. Every Friday they came in needing like 30-40k in 20's to stock their machines. I'm sure there is money to be made somehow, but i never saw them making a killin. To me, the worst part of the job was packing around that much money all the time.

$30-40k means they had crazy machines. I own a store that's probably one of the busiest stores in Houston in terms of gross sales and the ATM does like $27k/mo in dispensed cash, most average like $10k/mo tops, I just checked.

I'd bet most people that use those pull out $40-80 at a time. That's a complete guess, but those are usually for quick cash and not the maximum of $400 or whatever.

That's pretty good money I'm willing to bet

all i know is i saw their accounts, i saw how they dressed, and i saw what they drove. It seemed like a ton of work and overhead/ working capital and very small margins. No idea how many machines each one of them had, but lets say they put 5k in each machine. thats 6-8 machines. an avg of $3 per withdrawl at 40 per W/D. That's 5000/40 equals 125 W/D. 3x125 = 375 x6 or 375 x8 = 2250-3000 or so. So 12k a month in fees. i guess that is pretty good, but i still have no idea how accurate these numbers are or what all it involves.

LOL good lord, what they drove and dressed in? I drive a leased $40,000 suv to work everyday, have you seen my other posts where I posted a picture of a rolls royce and a bentley in my driveway and a nice porsche as well? What a person drives to work says absolutely nothing about their standing in society. Also I keep under $20,000 in my personal checking account bc well banks pay no interest at all,its all in my brokerage accounts so to a teller I too would be "poor"

Are you a gas station? What part of Houston?
