Do you want a giant Redbox machine? Now’s your chance

Redbox, the former DVD rental kiosk giant, has shuttered, leaving behind 24,000+ machines at retail locations nationwide. Removal costs around $500 per kiosk, making it a challenging process. Some collectors are salvaging these machines as media artifacts, despite their weight, high energy consumption ($35/month), and maintenance needs. A decade ago, Redbox was at its peak, generating nearly $2 billion in annual revenue with over 43,000 kiosks across the country.
