A video of a guy emptying change out of washing machines at a laundromat shows up in everyone's recommended list but none of my martial arts videos ever do of course. Thanks RUclips! This guy uploaded his video one month ago and he has over half a million views. I started my channel three years ago and all of my videos combined (all 500+ of them) have less than 10,000 views.

In my old apartment I hooked up a full size washing machine to my sink just need to run the drain into the sink of if your scared about messing with the lease they have small washing machines with almost zero sound.

I owned a 26 unit trailer park in a small town. And next to it was an old laundromat owned by my family. Both very similar to yours. I would much rather refill the snack and soda machines than mess with the trailer park. Always seemed that everything got destroyed in the park. If I had only knew that people would watch coin collection videos......
Ok so 500$ a week is more than the average person, but you have to remember, people who own laundromats usually have 2-3 more, sometimes even 5. It's literally a licence to print money.
You have to worry about rent, maintenance, and Uncle Sam taking his huge cut. These machines tend to break down constantly as well with so much use. Not to mention the places in which laundromats exist tend to not be the richest areas. So thievery and gangs are always a potential issue.
I think a laundromat is way too much effort compared to just owning a franchise and letting someone else be in charge of it.. or hell even a vending machine is probably less work overall. I think we need to take into account effort involved, money you will spend on fixing things, and taxes.

On this collection the coca-cola machine made ~$91.75 Snack machine - $45.50 Washers & Dryers - $352 Is this a weekly collection? You would think someone could make a living running a laundromat.
@@InvestmentJoy Does it include a weekend or not? I imagine a weekend is better business. Aside from that I assume you're losing a fair bit to overheads.
I'm confused about the coin machine. You said you collected 406 in bills but 53 of that was from the coke/snack machine. They were not exchanged for coins. That means $353 were exchanged for quarters. So if you collected $365 in quarters from all the machines, then you actually put $12 extra into the coin exchanger, not $40 less. That's why people harp about collecting and counting them separately. When you do it together your coin machine looks like quarters left, when you do it separately, you realize quarters came in.
@@InvestmentJoy Look around for some more recent covers and ask said singers if they are ok with you using it, probably not gonna find anything other than that tbh.

Hello P7777777, Its kinda a question to answer urself. What do i mean with that? Well first how much money will you spend on the wasmachines, decoration, vending machines, the building itself etc. If you very intrested you should make a good list and put al the ideas and maybe even a drawing of you're laundry shop would look like. Then try to find some people that wanna invest in you or even talk a bank to pay them off later on. Goodluck with it ! :D
It would be awesome if you spoke to a carpenter and had a custom built table for the coin counter. One with holes for your coin bucket and nickel and dime dispenser.
Hopefully you won't have problems with the Hamilton changer bill stacker. People with car washes remove the stacker and validator and replace both with a MEI Mars unit which is much more reliable. Hamilton sells a kit, and Etowah Valley Equipment has one that's a bit less expensive and much easier to install (doesn't require cutting a new hole in the door).
I used to work for one of the big two soda companies running their vending business in a market and you ABSOLUTELY get have more turn on machines with a card reader. They're also easier to fill as the wireless device also transmits what sold in the machine so you know (at least in theory if it's working) how much you need to replenish, if there's a jam, etc. That said I don't know how much those card readers cost- I know they were very expensive, I want to say like $1500, and for as many machines as we had there was a third party that handled the sort of back end data administration. Not sure how that would impact the margin, but yeah I'd say a machine with a card reader would do maybe 5-6x the sales.
@@muaazlimbada2410 I did notice that at after posting the comment, but it looks like a pice of round stock that's been flattened a bit about a quarter inch from the end. I guess I was just thinking, that's both where the money from the customers, and where your quarter income from the machines are, and it's less secure than a lock and key, just surprising.
@@muaazlimbada2410 oh, no offense taken man. I was just surprised that the security on it wasn't higher. Especially considering there are kids breaking into the coin drop game.
If you track money made per machine, it can reveal issues with machines that aren't always obvious (especially if you don't have an attendant). Broken/fiddly coinslots, intermittently-broken machines, etc. Also, it's easy-ish to do by just having separate ziplock bags. Super tedious, but might be worth doing as a test.
I worked in a cash office and I was very good at finding counterfeits. Our bill counter couldn’t tell the difference between the real and fake ones because it used an image type verification instead of a UV verification. So a photocopied bill would “pass” its test. However I’m very detail attentive and since I worked with money for a long time I could tell just by the feel and a quick glance that a bill could be counterfeit. There’s security features on every bill type and knowing what to look for at a quick glance can help weed them out. I never saw fake $1s - $10s but I did find several fake $20s, 50s and 100s. Even the new blue $100 bill. And it baffled me when I saw one of the new fake $100 bills because I’m like how did the cashier not pick this up? If you want tips on what to look for on bills you think are counterfeit I can help. You have cameras so if you do find a counterfeit you can contact the police or the US Secret Service. The Secret Service are who you should really call for counterfeits. That’s their department.
This is awesome, but I've always thought this was hardly worth it due to laundry machines and vending machines constantly needing maintenance. Him mentioning in the video several times that a machine was out of service verified my suspicion. I bet a lot of what he makes goes into repairs.

If you track money made per machine, it can reveal issues with machines that aren't always obvious (especially if you don't have an attendant). Broken/fiddly coinslots, intermittently-broken machines, etc. Also, it's easy-ish to do by just having separate ziplock bags. Super tedious, but might be worth doing as a test.
If I were him i would have a germ-x bottle on that desk lol

When he saw that Joy doesn't sell 0.20 cent coffee in his vending machine, he went home.
I worked in a cash office and I was very good at finding counterfeits. Our bill counter couldn’t tell the difference between the real and fake ones because it used an image type verification instead of a UV verification. So a photocopied bill would “pass” its test. However I’m very detail attentive and since I worked with money for a long time I could tell just by the feel and a quick glance that a bill could be counterfeit. There’s security features on every bill type and knowing what to look for at a quick glance can help weed them out. I never saw fake $1s - $10s but I did find several fake $20s, 50s and 100s. Even the new blue $100 bill. And it baffled me when I saw one of the new fake $100 bills because I’m like how did the cashier not pick this up? If you want tips on what to look for on bills you think are counterfeit I can help. You have cameras so if you do find a counterfeit you can contact the police or the US Secret Service. The Secret Service are who you should really call for counterfeits. That’s their department.
New subscriber here, love these videos I think you are a very nice person with a good heart! Keep up the good work!
good one make sure the people of the rock dont find out!
and dont forget he has youtube ad revenue lol this man is lowkey gonna be rich
For a second there I thought you were shoenice. Awesome vid.
This is awesome, but I've always thought this was hardly worth it due to laundry machines and vending machines constantly needing maintenance. Him mentioning in the video several times that a machine was out of service verified my suspicion. I bet a lot of what he makes goes into repairs.
why do i always expect to see a robbery every time you do one of these videos 😝
Do you do this weekly? the time period between pick-ups is unclear
I missed the Christmas Eve Contest by 3 hours! Oh man I would have loved all those quarters
