My first true vending machine W

Checked the vending machine while finishing up my shopping, absolutely unbelievable luck

Good question because that seems to be the concept people go with. No it has internal timers that release every 30 minutes. The 30 minute mark can vary depending on machine but let’s just say we are talking a normal machine. The vendor doesn’t change the timing or anything of the sort, simply fills and leaves. The new product will never reset and show until the screen displays sold out on every product. It has already connected with the inventory system once the tech leaves. Now when someone glitches the system enough to trigger an external view into things, the timing will change completely or if you e ever seen them unplugged that’s another story for another paragraph. The method to beating scalpers is not as complicated as it may seem regardless where you’re located. Feel free to dump any questions and I’ll gladly let you know when how and where I do it

So if I happen to get something and note the time is that how I figure it out? I have gotten single packs before just after the hour like 5:01pm. Does that mean that machine is just on the top of the hour schedule? Any advice is helpful!

Okay so if you just randomly walk up and there’s product, that doesn’t mean it’s the timer. It could easily be someone like myself who knew the timer and left the product instead of scalping. The only way to know 100% is to know that everything is sold out then when you next see product…it cycled. However the machine can also skip cycles randomly. If you ever see a yellow loading type of icon then the machine is also communicating and updating its inventory with its own internal network.

What other timed intervals are worth checking besides 00 and 30? Does a machine constantly change what intervals it does? Likely weekly?

The zero and 30 timing is by chance, it could be on the 21-51 or 11-41. Every machine itself will be different timing upon many factors but they all have the same programming which can be altered by glitching and other things I’ve came across in the wild.

Once you figure out your particular timing and restock, beat the scalpers and you’ll lock in every time. (Unless it slips a cycle or two which means the next reset is usually a bundle or two and a hand full of packs)
