Candy King Of America
Altoids Vending machine junk

First, let me say I am so happy to have found a site that is addressing the Candy King scandal. I originally purchased 10 machines from CK. Prior to shipping, I tried to cancel the deal and Gladstone would not let me.instead he sent me 10 more machines for free. So I paid 16K for 20 machines. So all of us were getting different prices. Also, through Candy Kings reference list, it sounded like these machines would be fairly easy to locate and business was very good. All of the references I contacted were very quiet about the amount of money they made on the machines. I feel CK had a very select few on the reference list.

After being very unsuccessful locating these machines, I contacted one of Candy Kings locators. I paid $1,000 to locate 10 machines. I quickly found out the potential for these machines to make money was dismal. I have had my machines located for about a 1.5 years and they are junk. CK gave us (in writing) an umbrella warranty for the life of the machine. Well I needed a part for a machine. Now that CK is out of the Altoids business, they gave me the number to the manufacturer of the machines. Guess what? They warrant the parts for one year. After that, you pay full price for all parts.

Like you, I have lost a lot of money on these machines. I figure after I run out of gum (it will probably get old first) I will just throw the junk away. Lets stay in touch. If there is some type of class action law suite, it would be nice to get some money back.
