Dixie-Narco Commercial Cold Beverage & Soda Machines

Selecting a Dixie Narco Vending Machine on eBay

Whether you want the classic look of a bubble-front vending machine or prefer a sleek, new aesthetic, eBay is a great place to shop for your business's next vending machine. Here's how to find an affordable Dixie Narco cold beverage machine.

As you browse eBay, you'll see that there is a range of types to choose from. Depending on your business type, you may find that the aesthetic of one is a better fit for you. Here are the types of machines you can choose from:

• Bubble-front: Although these machines are still widely used, many of them have a vintage look. And while some models have a generic "Cold Drinks" printed on the bubble front, most are printed with an image of a branded drink. You're likely to see Coca-Cola, Gatorade, and Pepsi brand imaging.
• Glass front: These vending machines appeal to many, as they don't feature brand imaging. The clear glass front lets your customers clearly see the product before buying.
• Glass front with robotic arm: These machines include an eye-catching interior arm so customers can see their selection being pulled from the shelf.

In the past, vending machines only accepted cash. While you can still find these new or used Dixie Narco models on eBay, you also have the option of choosing a machine that also accepts credit cards. These machines are often slightly more expensive. However, by accepting credit cards, you're likely to see more business, as many people don't often carry cash.

One other useful feature to consider before purchasing a machine is pricing capability. Some older machines only support a single price setting. This probably isn't an issue if you're selling multiple sodas of the same price and size. However, if you want to sell multiple sizes or drinks at different prices, a multi-price machine makes the most sense.

eBay has a wide selection of new, used, and refurbished vending machines, and buying each type has its advantages. New Dixie-Narco machines are often the most expensive, but the machine is in mint condition. A refurbished machine has been restored to like-new condition, usually by the manufacturer but sometimes by a third-party. Used vending machines are more common than refurbished ones on eBay. While most listings are honest about any machine issues, it's still a good idea to double-check listing information and make sure the machine is in good working order.
