Vending Machines in your theater?

I'm thinking about getting a candy vending machine for my home. Looking probably just for a quarter machine that has jelly beans, m&ms etc. Just curious if anyone has suggestions on where to get one on the cheap. I posted on craigslist already.

I'm considering building a candy counter. Tho I would put just outside my HT room, in my bar.

I can't find a pic right off hand. But you can build one fairly easily out of a pre-build kitchen or vanity cabinet, but modify it.

Vending Machines specifically are for commercial use, not residential. Their main purpose is to earn additional money for a business establishment. Intentionally you invite guest to your home for a movie, you wouldn't want them to pay for their own refreshments from a vending machine. Implementing this action alone, will display a negative impact as a host on your behalf, and consequently be very unhospitable towards your guest as an result. Contemplations of having a vending machine in your home is most certainly a bad idea.
