i can see me using it for small stuff £10 – £20 .
but no way would i buy something costing over £100+
from a vending machine .
digital cameras and Camcorders are not something i tend to
buy on impulse, i like to research and compare to find just
what i am looking for at the best price i can get it.

@antje I doubt anyone will break into these machines. In the Macy’s in San Francisco, the machine has been in place for well over a year and it’s in the highest trafficked portion of the store – the food court in the basement.

I wouldn’t buy anything from these machines (with the apple store right around the corner) but it’s a pretty nifty system.

I would fall for it but that’s only because the customer service of Macy’s was never worth it. I would rather shop somewhere else instead. Vending Machines would be risky and could lead to customer complaints.

Interesting. But not interested.

DO NOT EVER use these machines! I was stupied enough to buy a $350 item and it did not work. I called the phone number the package asks you to call for exchanges/ returns and I was told to wait for an email 3-7 DAYS (yes for an email) for return directions. Then I called back to ask why? They said they would have to have me fill out a claim form FIRST! Then mail in the product, wait even longer to get a new one. It also states from their reps and on there site they will return it to you if they do not find a problem. This was a nightmare! You would be better off buying it used on ebay. I have never had a problem like this with ebay.
