I appreciate your honesty Bobby, business is hard and I respect guys that give it a go, even if it doesn't pan out. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt
I REALLY appreciate your videos, i was looking into this a year ago, but I held off. I started to see these machines pop up down here in South Florida this year, so i decided to look into it again. Glad i came across your videos.
Thanks for the comment dude. Glad I could help man. I wish someone was more upfront & honest with me before buying into this business. Could have saved myself a lot of money😂
@@brandenthomas9117 I was located inside of an RV park with 350 slips which 60% of those slips were year around long term renters accept from Nov-March it was snow bird season and the park was at almost 100% during those months Even with a full park I still wasn’t bringing in enough revenue to cover the cost of the machine etc. I thought it was going to be a small gold mine but did not work out that way. These machine definitely need to have great road frontage or constant high foot traffic
Great video series...just had a break in my machine and and that has killed our momentum....😢. Will have to kill the business as it us looking right now 😭
@@backyardfarmingaroundbyfa1059 thanks man, I appreciate that. That sucks I’m sorry to hear that. Sadly here lately I have seen more & more machines getting broken in to. Best of luck in getting your machine back up & running ✊🏻
F me. I bought one of these machines and can't find a location for it. I'm thinking about biting the bullet and putting it in storage and trying to sell it brand new. Thanks for making this video. I wish it would have been three months ago. 😬
Bro I fell ya. Same thing happened to me. I wish someone would have told me about everything before taking the plunge & buying a machine Good luck dude
Hey @@ronalddrzewicki5786 here are a couple groups that I recommend following facebook.com/groups/692748948637600/ facebook.com/groups/1042835343055780/ facebook.com/groups/1591585081211622/ Since you live in NY something to keep in mind is you would have to winterize your machine I imagine for a good portion of the year. UNLESS you put the machine inside somewhere. Keep in mind theses machines do put off a lot of water per ice cycle, so you would have to figure out some type of drainage if you do put it inside somewhere.
Appreciate your attitude. Believe you provided fair , honest and balanced feedback.
