This BORING Business Turns 30 Cents Into $2.50 (84% Margins)

Boring businesses that make money don't get quieter than ice vending. This boring business pays Steve Slagle about $2,500/month from a single machine — and I spent 30 hours figuring out exactly how it works. Boring business ideas with 84-90% gross margins are rare, and the ice vending business is one of the cleanest. Real operators, real manufacturer prices (Ice House America, Kooler Ice, Everest, Naixer), real startup math, and the location playbook nobody on YouTube teaches. If you want a boring business that raises your floor forever, watch this first.

In this deep dive you'll learn:
• Why each bag of ice has an 84-90% gross margin (the highest in vending)
• The real startup cost breakdown: $38K-$62K (and the $20K unicorn entry)
• Real operator income numbers from Beachside Ice, anilasher's Texas machines, and the Carwash Forum
• The 5 reasons this business FAILS (and how to avoid all of them)
• Sam's 30-day action plan from Google Maps target list to first bag sold
• The exact 30-second pitch script to lock in your first location

If this video earned the ice, drop a comment telling me which location in your town you'd target first ... marina, feed store, or Mexican restaurant. I read every reply.
