ICE VENDING

As you can see I like the vending industry. Its mostly low maintenance and less customer interaction. Another benefit while I plug the industry is that you can put off a big business look while you sit in your "office" at home and count your money.
I found (actually my brother found) a neat opportunity within the Ice Vending, yah I said it Ice Vending. Think of how many times you spent in the parking lot of a gas station or convience store banging a large bag of ice on the ground to get it to seperate enough to put it into your cooler of be.. soda (refer to the post below this one if beer was your first thought). These machines from Mr.Zippy's and Ice House enable an entreprenuer to place an ice maker in prime locations to allow for their customers to despense ice directly into their prefered container.
HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY?
Well if you look deep into Mr. Zippys Website it states the following numbers:

Purified water costs about .03 cents per gallon to produce and you can sell it for .25-.30 cents per gallon
Purified ice costs about .25 cents for a 10 lb bag of ice (includes cost of bag) and you can sell it for $1.00- 2.00.
Purified Ice cost about .01 cents per lb so 20 lbs of bulk ice cost .20 cents and you can vend it for $1.75 - $3.00
As you can see ice and water has a high degree of profitability
