Vendstar - MultiVend EX Sales rep for Vendstar and I am asshamed for what I did ripoff Deer Park New York
Everything that has been reported is all true, Dont Believe Ned Weaver's claims, his daddy bought the comapany from Doug Cooper and let him run this chop shop at the tender age of 30.
We were taught to lie, cheet, and do whatever it takes to make a deal, the illegeal mexicans in the back would work without air condition and part togther the cheep material, The sales reps in a room with no windows and a quota to meet. Now retired it is my goal to make sure that companies like the one I use to work for stops ripping honest people off. Lets face it your not going to make money doing this. in fact maybe 2% of the people that buy the machines actually keep them, otherwise they make a nice item on ebay. Do not buy from this company, Very dishonest sales claims cheep cheep machine, and truley a bad place overall. Lets see Ned dispute this one. I know aal the inside info, and happy to share it with the World, I worked with them for 5 years, and it was the saddest time of my life, I had trouble sleeping at night because of the many families I hurt, its not the rich doing this, its people with their last 10 grand, and trying to put food on the table type. I hope Ned reads this because he know just how true it is. The funny thing is there are so many people that keep falling into their trap, I guess thoes people were not as smart as you to actually read these reports. I am not bitter, I am a wealthy man who owns many properties, in my late 50s already and not saying this because i want to hurt anyone, I just want to help now in my life and bascially redeem the mistakes I made, this was a big one, I am sorry to all of thoes people I hurt! For the 100s that I screwed, I owe it to you the help with your decision, dont be sold, not even in the vening business, for thoes of you I helped please let me know. reply a post back here.

There are ways to make money.
Yeah it is true that a lot of machines are sold on EBay and its overwhelming of how much people want for per machine.
The business isn't that hard at all and especially if you know what to say about the charity you are dealing with.
Its all about networking with many different people b/c I will tell you all something on the first posting I agree with you on one aspect. If your being treated like dirt in the company then you do something about it.
Yeah your nerves were probably going but to MR Owner of this company why do you insist of a location company even though they are a different entity. Yes its the operators fault for who owns the machines and falls for the trap but it be easier for some one like my self to pay people $50 per location rather than some strangers without a background that I don't trust do the work and not make any money back.
Locators who work for companies only get like 25% of earnings if they find locations so whats the point of getting like APS or any other company.
Lifestyle vending I heard about that company and thats that.
Its all about how these companies want to profit and don't give a d**n about the people who want to invest into this business.
There was another company Vending Dreams who went down the tubes fast b/c they were a disgrace.
I asked for references and received 0 from them. Not good at all.
This business is nice if you treat it that way and keep up on the expenses and what foods are sold as well as food being wasted. (food cost)
WHat is the percentages?
WHat is the location like?
Can it profit!
You might know me from the past.
I don't think it matters of what kind of machines but how well cleanliness is on a machine and how its serviced.
If you have great and curtious service this business will help.
If you play arrogant and don't care its not.

Unbelievable - this site (and posting) is a joke.
#3REBUTTAL Owner of company
Thu, February 08, 2007
The biggest source of misinformation is on this site! Any person, whether validated or not, can post anything they want. I'm tired of continually defending my company and myself from fraudulent claims. I told myself I would not stoop to this level but, again, I feel I must respond.
First, as has happened on many occasions, this person did not truly identify themselves. The only "Ted" we have (and have ever had) in the company is still here.
Second, the only 50-ish year old, five year, sales representative who departed is Michael Eisenberg. I can only assume this posting was created by Michael and/or one of his associates.
As such, third, Michael was let go from our company because of fraudulent behavior (among other things). He felt so bad about this, he opened another company (Lifestyle Vending) and continued the same practices. He amended his ways to the extent that the company was named in an FTC fraud sweep and he is facing a Federal indictment.
Fourth, I do not own this company and my "Daddy" has nothing to do with the ownership. I am a partner in an investment firm, which bought the company from Doug Cooper. I stepped in when Doug resigned.
Fifth, while we respect the privacy of our customers and do not have them report success or failure - over 25% of our customers order extra machines every year! Our complaint rate is less than 0.05%!!!
After reading this posting, I'm embarrassed to think that we actually had an employee with such poor grammar and spelling skills. Michael, et al, I know being let go is tough, but I'm sorry you feel the need to back-stab and lie in an attempt to redeem yourself and put down a company that was nothing but good to you.
Sincerely,
Ned Weaver
