I met a Coinstar representative at a technical conference today (Lotusphere 98) and had a good conversations with him. I didn't get any information that I didn't really already know. He basically confirmed the basic business model that we've been discussing on thread.

I did ask a couple of questions about the machines. He indicated that Coinstar designed the machines and owns the rights to the design. They contract out the manufacturing. I didn't really know this before. In my mind gives them an added competitive advantage over others trying to make inroads into the market. In general, more good news.

I'll try to summarize any other thoughts about my conversation soon.
