Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to search?

No. Search is free and anonymous. An account is only if you want to favorite machines and get drop alerts, list a machine, or take the course.

Where are machines listed right now?

Operators list machines across the country. Search your ZIP to see listed partners within 50 miles.

How much does it cost to list a machine?

$5 per month per machine. You get a map pin, a public page (hours, products, photos, directions), and we can share your listing on social when you join. Listings go live after we review them.

What do favorites do?

Saving a machine lets us email you when that location adds new product, and when a new machine lists near you. Drop alerts will roll out as we coordinate updates with operators.

Do I need prior experience to take the course?

No. The course is designed for complete beginners who want to launch their own sports card or Pokémon vending machine.

What's included in the Basic tier?

The Basic tier includes the full 12-week course: all modules (Why Vending Machines, Business Models, Startup Costs, Picking a Machine, Sourcing Inventory, Pricing Strategy, Location Strategy, Legal Setup, Designing Your Machine, Loading Your First Machine, Launch Day, and Beginner Mistakes) with video lessons and templates.

What's the difference between Basic and Premium?

Premium includes everything in Basic.

Plus:
  • We source and order your vending machine
  • Arrange shipping to your location
  • Sizing and Design Consultation
  • Procurement of Inventory for you
  • Weekly email tips and tricks

What's the refund policy?

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the course, contact us within 7 days of purchase for a full refund. See our refund policy page for details.

How do I access the course after purchase?

After payment is confirmed, you'll receive an email with a sign-in link. Use that to access your dashboard, where all course modules and lessons are available. Access is granted via webhook, typically within a few minutes of payment.

If this is so profitable, why are you sharing your template?

Vending machines are unique in that you need to access them physically, so we can only scale them around our brick and mortar card shop.

Can I start with just one machine?

Yes. Many students start with a single machine to test the business before scaling. The course covers how to choose your first machine and when to add more.
