    Does anyone know how profitable vending machine ownership is? Obviously nobody is making their full income on it but I see a lot of videos of people making $700 every week or two but not talking about owning/operating costs. I’m not really considering owning one or anything I’m just curious.

      I was curious about it once when I was considering “hustles”. One of the biggest issues may be finding a high-traffic location where you are allowed to operate a vending machine. But if a place could use one and will let you operate for cheap/free, you could give it a shot. One learns a lot from trying. Odds are the work & issues may make it tougher than it seems on the surface (may not be as passive as you think).
