4 Pre Paid Mobile Phone Vending Machines = Four Units in total being sold as one lot. Originally paid $20,000 for each machine from DialTime Australia. Each machine has an inbuilt Note Reader ($10 / $20/ $50) and Star TSP label printer computer and flat screen display. The customer chooses their preferred mobile phone carrier and value of recharge, feeds the notes into the machine and it prints out the voucher. We had these positioned in backpacker hostels and transit centres in Brisbane. They worked well - Did get some vandalism so one of the four has a broken screen. They all have an internal alarm and are incredibly strongly built. We got tired of servicing them and they are sitting in my garage and I am moving house and they are not coming with me. Local pick up only (and they are really heavy because they are so strongly built). Feel free to ask any questions. Mike :)


On 08-Nov-09 at 22:50:18 AEDST, seller added the following information:

The machines are 45cm wide and 180cm tall and weigh around 80kg. The machines are designed to print out pre-paid mobile phone vouchers for Virgin, Vodafone, Telstra and also pre-paid internet. At the end of each day the machine would automatically use an internal GSM mobile phone unit to call Dial Time to stock up on the pre-paid numbers that had been sold that day. We were only charged for the voucher once it had been sold. The margins varied between the suppliers but were around 10% at that time. Its been a couple of years since we had the machines operating so you would need to contact Dial Time to ensure they still support the machines and what the current margins are. The machines need to be checked once a week to collect money and check the paper in the receipt printer. I got tired of going around and doing the collections. Feel free to come back with any more questions. Mike
