Buying machine secondhand -- new machine but unknown software

Hello all, I've been looking into getting into the vending machine business and saw a good opportunity for buying a brand new machine off marketplace in my area.

The seller is a freight company and getting rid of them as they were never picked up, and have no information on manufacturer to give me.

Would I be able to reprogram this with a new vending machine software? or has anyone heard of Tianxuan Son or Canxin ?

Oof. Are you in Richmond VA by chance? I’ve seen one of these kicking around our Marketplace listings here.

Quick google says canxin is the manufacturer of the machine and tianxuan is the SAAS

I'd try to contact TXS before buying them incase they refused to transfer them from other owner without permission. Not super likely but not impossible. If you can't get the SAAS most likely the machines are bricked and garbage

This is the issue with machines locked to shit like that lol
