    I went through and listened to all of Dale's voice messages and I should have realized that he's a salesperson right then. I decided to set up a call with Dale and after 2-3 phone calls, I ended up purchasing five of his toy vending machines. He specifically told me that he designed these machines. This is not true as you can do a Google search for Gotcha Glow vending machines and you will find several places that sell them for HALF THE PRICE that he sells them for. This is my fault for not doing my research but hopefully, I can help everyone that reads this by not making the same mistake. Dale also gave us some ideas as to how much money we could make from these machines. I currently have three locations and have made a total of $19.00 in two months. This is nowhere near what he told us the worst-case scenario would be. When I emailed him about it, he blamed it on the recession. I don't think spending $1.00 is really going to make THAT much of a difference. At this rate, I will be 200 years old before I make my money back. He will also give you the name of a person that finds locations for these machines for $100.00 each. I paid this person $500 for five locations. After two months, she had only found us three locations and they are all terrible. She did find us one location and when I went to deliver the machine I asked the manager if they get kids there and was told about 2-3 kids per week. It turns out I didn't even bother leaving the machine at the location. With everything being said, I think the vending machine business can be good but as I said, DO NOT purchase the machines from this company. There is nothing proprietary about these machines and you can get them for less money online from several vendors. It's all about location and the best thing to do is go out and find your own locations.

    Dale is playing the victim card...really? I have someone who witnessed several conversations so if you want to know the truth, message me and I'll be happy to have a conversation with you. The truth is these machines which he misrepresented as he was the one who designed and created them is not true and can be found all over the Internet for half the price that he paid for them.
